So it's January first; a time for looking back at the past, making resolutions for the future... and cleaning up after Christmas' mess.
My Regrets from 2012
My number one regret has to be not sticking to my budget better. We are definitely paying for it now. Hopefully this "fiscal cliff" will not delay or shrink our tax refund check by very much. We really need it.
I regret not spending more time with my grandmother-in-law. She only lives 10 minutes away, yet we generally only visit her on holidays.
I regret not calling my own grandparents. My grandfather passed away two weeks ago. He was such a sweet person. I wish I had known him better.
I definitely regret letting my house get into the state it is in right now. I don't even know where to start with my bedroom, so I don't.
My "Resolutions" for 2013
To clean at least a little bit everyday - and make the kids do the same. I don't want them to have the same bad habits I do.
To be more financially responsible. I don't want to depend on getting Christmas money for groceries by the end of the year. Granted there were some unexpected big expenses last year, but I definitely did not do as well as I should have.
More one-on-one time with the older kids. They get home so late in the day from school that it's hard to give them the individual attention they need. I need to make the time.
Turn off the computer! I waste so much time just piddling about on the computer. I need to just get my stuff done and get off.
