New Year's resolutions

I'm not very good at making and keeping New Year's resolutions, but this year I do have a few things I would like to try to do. My life has been turned upside down, in a good but challenging way, by the arrival of our little boy. Gone are the days of spur-of-the-moment trips to Walmart or out of town for the weekend. Gone are the days of heading to the gym after school and a two piece swimming suit! Gone are Saturday mornings spent sleeping in... For the time being. Everything has a season - our life right now revolves around a sweet little blue-eyed boy who still needs his mommy in the middle of the night, and who likes to talk himself awake at say, 6:30 am. But he'll grow up, and soon I'm sure the wakeful nights, diapers, bottles, etc. will be a distant memory and then I will just be worrying about where he is on a Friday night and telling him not to sleep away his Saturday. :) Anyway, my goals for the new year are to help make life feel a little more normal, and work on things that I can control. There are things I really can't change, like Wyatt waking up in the middle of the night. I CAN change what I eat, though I am fighting some really bad habits I started when I was pregnant! In hindsight, it wasn't such a good idea to eat Dane's Dairy every night the month before Wyatt was born. :) And, I CAN save some money by packing my lunch most days instead of buying lunch at school. Seriously, the cafeteria at the dental school is ridiculously over-priced. So here are my New Year's resolutions in no particular order:

*Use the Wii Fit 5 days a week.
*Pack my lunch 4 out of 5 days a week.
*Eat only one sweet/treat a day.
*Go to bed before 10 pm on a school night.
*Drink water instead of pop.
*Take the Christmas decorations down before February! Ha!

I think these are do-able... I'll let you know how it's going next week!
