Boo,<P>Those sound like the best and most workable resolutions I have ever heard. Wish my thinking were as clear as your seems to be! <P>My Resolutions:<P>1) Be the best wife I can be to my husband<BR>2) Take the best care possible of myself during my pregnancy<BR>3) Clean my house up more (ugh!)<BR>4) Procrastinate less<BR>5) Improve my self esteem <BR>6) Grow up more emotionally<BR>7) Have a better attitude at work (even towards the stupid drunk repeat offenders who roll into the ER where I work) (OOPS! see I need work on that one)<P>All the rest Ive already done because of my unborn child (quit smoking, drinking, start eating healthier)<P>But of course, the unspoken, most important one - to never stray again from my husband's side.<P>Khyra<BR>

I have one more to add to mine.<P>I resolve to decide whether or not to move on with my marriage.<P>I have never decided to leave, but I have also never decided to stay. <P>It is time to make that decision. I guess I should feel lucky that this decision is solely up to my. My H has already decided to stay.<P>I'm not providing any deadline on this resolution, I have 100 years [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com].

I usually make 2 large resolutions. One is a "major" resolution, and one is what I call my "irrelevant resolution" so that if I don't make the main one, I at least have one measure of success to look back upon. [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]<P>Last year, my two resolutions were to simplify my life, and to eat a jalapeno whole. I made them both. (He complicated it a little, but I still managed to simplify). This next year, I think my main resolution will be to stop using course speech (I swear like a sailor sometimes) and yelling, and my irrelevant resolution will be to balance a stick on the end of my nose.
