10 Things To Do This Year

This year I am giving myself 10 things to do. Not resolutions, because I feel like I never keep resolutions anyway! I guess I just don't have much resolve... Hmmm... I think that's another post altogether! Anyway, 10 things for me to do this year!

1. Keep the house cleaned for a whole month! Like everyday, keep it picked up, and clean enough that I'm not totally stressed and embarrassed when people drop by unexpectedly! And I don't have to spend a whole day cleaning before people come over announced!

2. Go on a vacation with my family! We have never been on a vacation, just us. We have been overnight camping a few times, or to families' houses, but never on a vacation. Even it is just camping for a few days, just get away from being connected to everyone and everything, that would be amazing!

3. Schedule monthly dates with my hubby! We don't go on dates much because, well, they cost money. And money is a hot commodity around here! We usually go for special occasions, like Stake Temple Day (going to the Temple with other members of the church from our area), birthday's and... yup... That's it... So MONTHLY DATE NIGHT!

4. Create my own Crochet pattern. Sounds fun. Sounds difficult. Sounds... Time consuming! I'm So Excited!

5. Spend one-on-one time with each of my kids every month. Like an hour that just Mom or Dad go out with them every month.

6. Give Hubby time to himself! He needs breaks too, just like me, and I am going to find time to do that for him! Even if it's just shoving him in the garage with his wood and tools for the night after he gets home from work.

7.  Potty Train Baby Girl. She is almost there, but not quite. I am going to work with her, and help her potty train, so we can be done with diapers!

8. Start doing family history. I am going to learn how to use all the cool websites out there, and find my lost ancestors!

9. Get out of debt. I am going to work really hard to pay off all of our medical bills, and pay off our car, and everything else we can! I really want to be debt free.

10. Start an adoption fund. I want to adopt a child. Some one that is 6+ months to 2 years old. I don't care boy or girl, race, or anything like that. I just want one more, and I need to save some of that hot commodity (money) to be able to do that!

Those are my "To-Do's of 2014"! What are yours? Do you make resolutions? Do you trim down your list of things to do? Do you not do anything special this time of year? I am hoping that by writing these down, it will hold me to it!

Good luck in the New Year!
