New Year's Resolutions

For five years (starting when I was pregnant with Maria) I despise New Year's resolutions. Why? They remind me that I am no longer the size 4 I was pre-children. It also reminds me that I can be, if I want to. All it takes is that one New Year's resolution: lose weight. It's so much easier to say than to actually do. But, that's my New Year's resolution. That, and....

- eat dinner at our dining room table every week night (something we did growing up and looking back now, I loved it)

- take more pictures (snapshots) of my kids

- apply to graduate school

Wish me luck. I'll need it.
