What are all you lovely ladies planning on for New Years Eve/New Years Day? Any good resolutions you've thought of yet?
We're spending New Years Eve for a party at my sisters, at which she'll probably find out I'm pregnant again when I don't drink haha. New Years Day I'm having everyone over to watch the Outback Bowl and have white chicken chili out of my new, massive crock pot!
My resolutions include keeping up with my blogging better, reading one book a month, and letting go of some bitterness I have towards several things, including everything that went down in August.
Happy New Year!
ETA: I can't make paragraphs for some reason........sorry!

Re: New Years plans/resolutions?
Resolutions: lose the baby weight and then like 5 more.
Start to pay off my next school loan
Complete my first graduate degree
Plans: Probably just going to stay in with DH and baby girl, it's so crowded out.
2014 goals: be a good mommy and wifey. Nothing else matters
Resolution: more riding, losing more weight -- yeah, I know, everyone says that -- more career prospects and plastic surgery.
Resolution: finally decide to add on to my house or buy a new one. 1 bathroom and 5 of us is way too tight.
Resolution: Lose baby weight and get healthy. Start planning for LO #2.
Resolutions: Get LO over the reflux enough to get him into daycare so I don't have to quit my job ...
Resolution: Budget better, figure out where we are spending our extra money.
Have "NYE" party with the kids that'll end at 6 (like heck I'm letting them stay up)
After kids are in bed a friend and I are going to another friends house for a BYOB party and I plan to get so very drunk... after all I'm bringing my own booze.
Resolutions: stop yelling (already working on that, haven't yelled at all today)
Lose weight (yay I'm original)
Do more intentional activities with the kids
BFP #2 11/30/09 EDD 08/12/10- Sophia Grace born 8/1/10
BFP #3 11/16/10 EDD 08/04/11- Samuel Richard born 7/28/11
BFP #4 01/04/12 EDD 09/19/12- Simon Nathaniel born 9/6/12
BFP #5 03/27/13 EDD 11/25/13- Savannah Lee born 11/18/13
As far as resolutions go, I hadn't thought about it. I'm trying to learn to let go of things. I need to relax more about the fact that I have very little control of the day to day stuff anymore.
Resolutions: breast feed LO a year.
Get in shape. Thanks to breast feeding I'm already where I wanna be weight wise. Just wanna firm everything up.
Pay off my car.
I've joined WW again, and a mommy and me bootcamp to get my large self back into shape. I also want to stop arguing with my husband. Ever since LO was born we argue all the effing time. Mainly over nothing.
This for me too. I am usually pretty good about having my phone away when I'm with my family but all the sitting and nursing...I've been using it too much and feel like I'm missing out on tiny, sweet moments.
Resolutions:
Lose weight (cliche I know)
Work on this post partum anxiety/worrying
Finish my doctoral degree (DNP), and maybe teach!
Resolutions: I need to lose the last 20lbs of baby weight! The first 20 came off really easy with no effort and I was hoping the last 20 would as well but no such luck! I need to find time to work out a few times a week! My incentive to really get my butt into gear is a trip we are taking to Florida in one month!
Resolutions: I haven't really thought about it. I'd like to be more attentive to LO while playing and nursing. I get distracted easily.
I also want to get back in school and actually finish it. The birth of LO kind of put it on hold.
We need to stick to our budget better if we're ever going to get out of the in-laws house. Hopefully, taxes will help.
So, glad we aren't the only ones staying home. My MIL is staying with us this week, so we will hang out with her. She offered to babysit for us, so DH and I can go out. But, I don't really want to go out. I much rather stay at home with our LO. I may have DH pick up a bottle of champaign or two on his way home from work.
Resolutions: Buy a house! That is our big goal for the year. And like PP, I want to lose weight. Oh, and to keep nursing as long as possible.
