Hello 2012

The year 2012. It sounds like something out of a science fiction novel. Here I am 33, married, 2 kids, mortgage, full-time job, full-time school, roller derby addict ahh life is good :) If you would have told me 15 years ago this is where I would be right now, I would have said you were nuts!!

It's a new year and I made many resolutions:

#1 - keep house tidy and clean

#2 - spend more quality time with kids

#3 - be more prepared for dinners

#4 - spend more quality time with hubby

#5 - exercise and eat better

#6 - commit to roller derby

#1 - trying really hard. I think we've been doing better on the collective whole but not quite 100%. This is a good reminder to kick myself into high gear with this.

#2 - I think this is working out quite well. Just becoming aware that the time I need to spend *quality* time with the girls really made me slow down and appreciate the time I get with them.

#2 - this is somewhat happening. I really need to get my hands on some good, easy, standby recipes and fill my freezer with pop in the oven meals.

#4 - biggest area that I'm lacking

#5 - slowly starting to happen. I need to get more prepared for lunches. I bring a great lunch, but need better snacks...

#6 - oh yeah baby! Doing this! I practice with the team once a week (can't quite fit in that second practice). I even have my derby name - Hello, I'm Blue Skittles, nice to meet you!!

I'm so excited for this year ahead!
