I figure that it's a good one - one I can't fail at, and that will make me happier. Everyone wins when mama is happy. My new year’s resolution was to spend more time with my friends.

Janus had two faces and so could look back on past events and forward to the future. Janus became the ancient symbol for resolutions and many Romans sought forgiveness from their enemies and also exchanged gifts before the beginning of each year. This tradition has spanned over two millennia as we all find ourselves promising to change our lives come January 1st.<br />~Yahoo!

If I couldn't do it for the rest of the previous year, I'm not going to be able to do it now. LOL!<br />My only resolution might be to go easier on myself and not to feel guilty. We're all doing the best job we can, and isn't that enough?<br />Well, I might make a resolution this year to:<br /><br />a. Sit down and eat dinner with the family while my food is still hot.<br />b. Read a book I want to read, that doesn't have pictures.<br />c. Try to have at least one uninterrupted conversation with my husband per week.<br /><br />I could probably come up with a couple more. But then again...why set myself up for failure. Right? You are so right Julie.

In the end, people can say what they want about what you do, or what you should do, but you are the one who has to actually do it!

There should be a service that allows you to sell off your membership in March to someone that will actually go. <br />It sucks to be stuck having to pay for it when you can't even find the time to go!
