One of my favorite quotes..

New Years is a weird time for me.. I've always wanted to be a resolution kind of girl.. but I never really keep them.

This year I'm a little too superstitious to make any resolutions… It hit me yesterday that I was *REALLY* going to have a 6th child… Does a mother with *that* many children need to make a resolution? Does a soon to be mother of a newborn, with MY advanced maternal age need to make any resolutions besides.. SLEEP MORE?

What I'd like my resolutions to be:

• Give birth and walk out of the hospital looking like a movie star
• clean and organize the 2nd story of my house
• clean and organize my kitchen cabinets
• install the knobs on my cabinets
• grade all my papers within 2 days of them being completed by my students
• Iron The Man's shirts
• Get all my junk on my website
• Clean the basement
• travel more

What's probably going to happen:

• Give birth and leave the hospital looking like I looked when I walked in the place
• beg my children to clean their rooms.. and they shove everything into the closet
• Clean the junk drawer and realize this is just too much work
• realize the holes aren't drilled and give up on this.. as I've done every year..
• grade my papers at the dining room table.. at midnight before the semester ends.
• iron one of his shirts on the 2nd of January and realize I was not made to iron…
• See this blog
• HA! Really.. this is funny..
• All I need is money.. unless you are talking about traveling to the post office..
