My new years resolutions for 2013

Being that it is New Years Eve, I thought  I would share my resolutions. First I would like to rely on God more. I am trying really hard to rely on God more when I am stressed and just in general.  My second goal is to work on my creativity whether its writing or whatever I would like to work on my portfolio more too. Again work on my creativity. My third goal is to lose atleast 20 lbs. I know I know I say it every year, and I just barely scratch that surface but dang it I am going to try harder this year. Another goal I have is to keep on top of my house. What I mean by this is I am wanting really hard to try and keep my house clean. Even if its just one room at a time I want to try and keep my house clean. My fifth goal is to try and do more yoga. I keep saying I will but never really start on or do it like I should. The yoga is to help me relax more. It has in the past helped me sleep better, wake up, de-stress me etc. when ever I do get around to do it. I would like to do it more. My 6th goal for the new year is a little mixed for reason's I do not wish to bring up at this present time.  But I would like to really work on it. I need to do it and I know I will feel better in the long run. Oh I have so many things I would like to resolve in the new year. There are just too many to name. The ones mentioned above, are just a few of the main ones. I want to try really hard to stick to them because they are important to me.  Last year I made a few resolutions and I as hard as I tried, I never really stuck to them. This year I would like to do my best to change that. These are all manageable goals, and I would really like to work on sticking to them. I have my reasons however I do not wish to discuss them at the moment. As for tonight well my plans are simple I am going relax and watch the ball drop like I try do every year. I didnt get to last year bc I was too tired. This year I am going to do my darnedest to stay awake and watch it drop and celebrate of course. Then if I am still awake, I am going to watch a show off of Netflix. This all depends on my energy level and if my kids are asleep at reasonable time. I know that DJ needs to go bed early tomorrow, because she has school on Wednessday. Yes I know I am going off topic that just occured to me. GRRR... Another note off topic, yay for netflix.  I can find movies that I would like to see along with shows that i need to catch up on. Thankfully I can afford by donating plasma which I plan on doing Friday morning, and Sunday morning. I may not make much by doing it, but its enough to help so as long as I can keep it on the card, and only use it for gas I am good to go. Back on the topic for tonight, along with watching the ball drop I plan on doing a job search for something that is more in degree or in my field. I am also putting plastic on my windows to keep the heat in and DROP the cost on my gas bill. I am ready for a dramatic change in my gas bill. I am planning on getting LIEAP again to help atleast with the gas or electric bill. it will definitely be helpful. Anyhow yeah tonight is a mix of work and relaxation. Well I am going to get off here and continue with my relaxation and work. Happy New Year everyone and I will see you all in the new year. God Bless.:)

The last call of the day

Well today was last call at work was interesting. I was getting ready to clock out and I messed up and ended up taking a final call after5pm. Yeah very little did I expect to get a superstar. On a national car rental survey of things. I especially didnt not expect for him to be so below cordial that it would dim my mood. It also proves that talking on the phone to a superstar or someone famous can be as easy talking to a normal person on the phone.  Maybe it was premature to think that he would be nice. The one thing that i can take from this, is that i got to talk to a celebraty. It was rare and i doubt it will happen again but it was a first and another reason I dont like my job. On this particular survey i could say or venture of the script. Oh well eventually i will be able to find a decent job. But for now i will just deal a job that i dont really care for. I would say that that call was the best end to my day but it wasnt. Well I thought I would share how my last call was later.

on a lighter note

Today I got to see something that was very beautiful to me. I saw my two youngest little ones say grace before they ate their doughnuts. This is something I have been working on for a while. Not just the saying prayers before they eat their doughnuts but before they eat they food in general. They are just now getting to where they do it all the time. I am so proud of them. Any how, I went to the kitchen and my second oldest told me that she wanted to say her prayers. Hearing that put a smile on my face :). Shortly after my youngest said she wanted to pray too.  I could not tell you how proud and happy  that made me. When they said their prayers, it was both beautiful and adorable . To the best of my knowledge it went like this:"Thank you for the doughnuts, thank you for mommy and daddy, thank you Riley, thank you for eating doughnuts, thank you for Podder (their older brother), thank you for aunt Micky(their aunt Nikki) and thank you for this day." Amen.I have say that that was the light of my day to hear them pray. To me there is nothing better than hearing my kids thanking God for their food, and for their day. Again it was wonderful to hear especially after the recent tragedy that happened last week. I know that they still pray with their eyes open , but baby steps. Besides it still counts in my book. I am just happy about them wanting to say their prayers before they eat. I really love how they are thankful for the smallest things. I want to try and be like that and be thankful/grateful for the small things. I think that will be one of my goals before and at the beginning of the new year is try and be thankful more. For both the small and big things. I know one thing, I am very thankful for my kids and my family. I am also thankful for my pets Miko, Bella and our latest addition Rudolfa. I am thankful for my sister inlaw and her dog Anna. Nikki is helping us out alot, and Anna loves the kids and is very protective around them. I am so very thankful for them. There are just so many things. I would to try and have the faith my kids have as well. Its is so beautiful to see their faith. I love them so much. Okay well that is all for tonight. I will talk to you all later.
