Drivers Ed and weather

I took my oldest to his drivers ed class today! I cannot believe that we are already here at this place in our lives. In just a few *short* weeks, he will be driving us around.....yes, he will become my personal driver so he can get in as much practice as he can! Seriously, how did we get there sooooo fast? It feels like we went from this


to this......


It all passes by in a blink of an eye or so it feels like.

And what is up with snow all AROUND us but we're getting ice!?! This is just cruel, people, its cruel! The coast got slammed with snow and so did west of us and we get ice. This is so not fair...LOL!

Resolutions....

I have never, ever made New Years resolutions but I figured this year I would and see how it goes. It takes 30 days to create a habit and I'm hoping to just do that with some of these. So, here are my 2011 resolutions.....

1. Read my bible DAILY! I have totally slacked doing this in the past year but there are no excuses why I cannot make 20mins out of my day to read His word...its is our LIVING bread! *So far so good, I've been getting up early to read and its actually, not that I doubted, made my day go so much smoother!

2. Make my family my priority! I am usually the first person to get involved with things and my family has felt it in many areas...so I have stepped down doing some things and I will make better decision as to what to get involved with and if it suits our family!

3. Make homeschooling my #1 thing! As I stated above, I've been involved in so many things that while my kids are doing great in school, I've always wanted to dig deeper with them. And I am doing just that!

4. Make better decisions as to what the kids are involved with. We made a rule once our second was born, that each child could pick one thing to be involved with and thats it. With, now, three kids, having them in one activity is enough running for both my hubby and I!

5. Eat better.....we generally eat very well but I'm going to add more organic and preservative free things into our diets. As well as, better snacks, such as fruits and raw veggies instead of junk!

So, there you have it...my resolutions. There aren't that many but its a start for me and those are the things that I wanted to do this year!
