I figured if I typed my resolutions on my blog for everyone to see I might be more likely to actually keep my resolutions this year, so here they are...
-Read more often- I hardly ever read unless I am forced to, and oddly enough I'm not forced very often. I've always said, I just don't enjoy it, but this year I'm going to read anyways. I just read a book this week, and it was lame, so I'm hoping I can get suggestions on better books. I've of course heard Twilight was good, so I figured I would jump on the bandwagon a little late and read the Twilight series.
-Save Money- We'll we kinda have a lot of debt because of student loans. I have referred to our student loans as our "magic money", because it just appears in our bank account every quarter, and we didn't work or do anything to get it. It's just magic. Go figure, this "magic money" thing isn't going to last much longer. So, I'm hoping this year we can transition into the real world where we don't get to borrowing all our money. I want to do more to save money by not spending as much. I want to start coupon clipping. I have seen people save a ton by doing this. So, teach me all you know expert coupon clippers.
-Speak more kindly- Okay, please don't think I'm a horrible mom, but there are some days that I don't speak to my children in the sweetest voice. Baylor is an expert at not listening, and doing the same naughty things over and over again. I mean come on, doesn't he know by now that he can't lay on Chase and suffocate him, or take every toy from him, or crash into him with his car/truck, or push him down, or yell at him for no reason. Brody has pointed out that maybe he yells at Chase, because I'm always yelling at him, because he doesn't ever seem to listen. I don't want it to be like that, so I'm going to try harder to speak more kindly.
-Run 1/2 marathon and do a triathlon- I'm planning on running the Columbus 1/2 Marathon in May before we move. Then in August/Sept I want to do a triathlon. There are a few triathlons in Texas and Louisiana during that time, so if we move to Lake Charles than I should be able to do a triathlon there.
So that is it. Hopefully I can keep these goals. Best of luck to the rest of you making goals too.

so my resolution is to be more like you, you are Super Mom. You have resolutions to read more, while I'm still figuring out how to get Brielle and myself ready by noon. Your making the rest of us look bad!
Good luck with the 1/2 marathon and triathlon. Try not to get injured right before the race this time...or was that on purpose :)
