New Years Resolutions


With the clock striking midnight just 55 minutes ago, I find myself where else but here in front of my computer while my hubby and his cousin sit just below me downstairs killing the other team online threw the 360...where is that ring of death when you need it? Just play, I really don't mind it tonight since we are just hanging out in tonight while all the little ones sleep safe and sound in their beds and a roommate for Carter tonight.

I've never been one for the resolution in past years, but this year I have many that I believe will be easy that could turn tedious a times and other times might be exciting.

Many resolutions have be floating threw my mind but just a few have really stayed around and I think it must be a sign that these are the ones for the 2011 year.

First: NO more trauma or drama.

I'm a very simple person, don't need or like a lot of attention and very content in my "bubble" of life. I don't care for drama and don't have any. People that bring drama around I don't hang out with or talk to much.

Simple is best.

 Unfortunately, God had other plans for me 2010. With a horrible wreck and ended much better then what could have been, and feel so blessed that my guardian  angels are with me to protect me and my boys.

Then teenage girls thinking that it was okay to come on to school property and endanger others. Little did they expect a cheer coach to be able to kick some ass and take one out. Only if those girls knew that I grew up fighting with my older brothers and sister, not to mention cousin and their friends and also a father who is now a retired custody officer. Nightly beat down along with training in how and not how to hit, hold my arms, and stand to achieve as much power and strength behind a punch. Then on top of all that, MY MOM'S ATTITUDE. (maybe it's a blessing I have not had a daughter) (yet) And top it with the love and compassion for those who are around me and for those I am over. When my dad and step-mom got married she told me that I would never get into trouble for fighting as long as I didn't throw that first punch, but after the other person threw it, take them out. She was a cop too. Gotta love it!

Second: Is the weight.

At the end of January 2010, I was blessed with my second healthy baby boy, via c-section again. I was able to push this time; but his head just got stuck. The labor went much better this time around and it being my second, I knew what to expect. My concern was getting rid of the baby weight asap and not my recovery. I didn't take it easy causing my incision to reopen not once but twice.  Stupid, right? I know. Once it finally healed and I was able to start working out, keeping in low and safe, I was in the wreck just weeks after. To that I am thank that my seat belt was not on still since I had already gotten out of my car and re-entered, because God only knows if it would have been able to with stand the impact. Reason why after a c-section women are not supposed to be in a car for two weeks if they can avoid it.

Third: Being a more efficient mom, wife, coach and individual.

 I want to use my time more wisely around the house, with my boys, and husband. And help my cheerleaders become not just a better cheerleader but help them be better young women physically (cheer wise) and mentally.

I want to finally sit down and build inventory and finish setting up my esty shop (don't know etsy? Check out an old classmates shop at www.esty.com/shop/betweenthelines ) And maybe a booth at the farmers market.

On the mom aspect, I want to keep my house cleaner (as possible with three boy, two mine and the hubs) make sure the days I work late, I have dinner ready for the hubs to just warm or pop in the oven  for him and the boys since he can not cook more then top roman or chicken nuggets. Get a freezer for the garage and keep homemade meals frozen to pop in the oven. Spend more time on the boys and not on everything I have in a day to do. Make sure Carter is more then ready and on track for preschool next year beyond what he is learning in preschool this year.

A better wife to my husband who works very hard in less then ideal condition in a horrible place to provide for us, which I'm so blessed he does so that I may be at home with the boys all day and that my work is more pleasure then a must. Make sure he has lunch and coffee EVERYDAY! Like I used to do.
For me, read more and keep my goals in sight so that I might feel like a better person for accomplishing goals. Keep school in far sights as well so that I don't lose my dream and finish my degree.

And last, my blog. Just starting to get the hang of it and would like to learn more. I enjoy writing but never was very good at it unless it was school papers, so this is now a goal of mine to be a better blog, and dream of having more followers then just one, THANKS CASSIE YOU ARE GREAT AND INSPIRATION! Tried to set up one for my mom; she didn't get it.

Well, I think I've written enough for this blog. Probably lost my one follower in the first paragraph.
