i wanted to write this post on 1-1-11, but as usual, i'm having difficulty carving out the time to write. i resolve in '11 will do a better job as self appointed historian of the IM household. i WILL make time to publish family photos, burn family videos to disks, back up all the photos, and will get back to logging events on the family blog on a more regular basis.
looking back on 2010 i realized i never got around to recording important events like ozzy's 2nd birthday, our vacations to Atlantis and dominican republic, ozzy starting preschool, mimi starting first grade, even christmas!...so much i've missed!
i partly blame facebook for it, realizing i've basically condensed family updates into a couple of status update lines instead of taking the time to post on our blog, a practice i must discontinue in the new year, as our family blog has been quite neglected as a result! (maybe one day Facebook will offer a 'blog' tab! that would be a feature i'd totally go for!).
but mostly life has just been busier than ever and finding the time to write has been really difficult. i also can't help feeling guilty about spending the time to record our life with the kids, even tho i know if i dont i will regret not having done so years from now...but in the back of my head i hear DH nagging me to tidy up the home or complete one of hundreds of other tasks that wait for me to get to, instead.
i also will again resolve to be more fit, and this year, resolve to be more organized and hopefully less forgetful (not sure how i'm gonna swing the 'less forgetful' part yet, but i'm gonna be optimistic.)
i talked to the kids about resolutions too. mimi told me that this year she would like to give more to the needy because it makes her feel kind of sad that she is so lucky to have so much in her life and to know there are kids out there that dont have anything.
"ozzy, what's your new year's resolution?"i asked.
"trains!"
figures.
