New Year Resolutions

Okay, so it is that time of year again...time to make New Year Resolutions. I've been thinking about this a lot for the last couple of days. There are many things I would like to change, but let's be realistic somethings are never going too. I have decided that I'm going to try to slow down life a little and try to spend more time with the kids. I feel most Mon-Fri that I'm running in about 12 different directions once work is over and I'm going, going, going until the kids go to bed. Does anybody else feel this way? How is one person supposed to do it all? Cook dinner, clean up, play with kids and have two seconds to myself? Is it possible without losing my mind? How does Michelle Duggar do it? So, my resolution is to try to not get so stressed out about the small things. I can always clean after the kids go to bed or the house can stay messy for one more day. My boys are only going to be young once. Also, I learned yesterday about something that is going to help me in my change. I now get to work from home 3 days a week! Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. This will really help. I can get laundry done and work out at lunch instead of at night, which means more time with the kids. I'm so excited!
So, readers, what are your resolutions for the New Year?
