Moaning Monday: New Years Resolutions

Why do I make ones I won't want to keep?

Sure, I know I SHOULD keep them, they are good things to do. But after a while I don't wanna anymore and feel like maybe I've been punished enough.

For instance: No more fastfood. Yeah. I made that, built in some exceptions for on the road traveling and group trips with my homeschool friends. I thought those would be enough to let me have the devils food and not really, really want it. But planning and making and cleaning up after meals every night SUCKS. And my husband leaves me alone a few weekends every semester (hes a college professor, we live our lives in semesters.) He does most of the cooking. Oh how I depended on McD's chicken nuggets and apple dippers when he would go away.

Now what am I supposed to do? Cook?? You've got to be kidding me!

And they are building a new Sonics on the way home from my MOPS group. I have to see it every week, sometimes multiple times and think of the coneys and tatertots.

This is ridiculous!

And I'm supposed to be less lazy. Um...hello, less lazy? WHY??? I don't wanna stop procrastinating! I don't wanna clean up after dinner right after dinner. Who cares that its easier and takes less time. Or that its great for the kids to see me taking care of business properly. How healthy can it be if I do so grumbling under my breath while I 'work'. I am quite sure I'm supposed to be sitting around watching a soap opera eating bon bons. With frou-frou slippers non the less. Yes?

Whatever 2010. I'll stick to them for the most part. I will. I'll keep down the 'slips' as much as my willpower will allow. BUT my 2011 resolutions will be the opposite, I will resolve to eat MORE junk food and MORE fast food and to be MORE lazy. Take that 2010. Take that.
