New Year - New Rules!

Note to myself.

I never realized how hard it would be to be a mother and a full time attorney.  I want so hard to be perfect at each one that I am struggling some days to keep my head above water.  I had this vision of my blog documenting everything for me but I simply can't keep up with it!

So, for 2013 I decided to have some reasonable resolutions.

(1) find a way to be more organized in my home and work: this is a challenge because we are not getting rid of ANY baby stuff and it takes up a lot of room in a little home.  Also, as Conor grows things need to be moved out of his reach and so things end up where they don't normally belong - my goal is to work on that through the first 1/4 of the year and that way by Spring we are ready and organized for the year (told you I was setting reasonable goals!)

(2) spend more time with family enjoying all that this great place has to offer.  That means more time outside at the beach, mountains, and anywhere our feet can take us.  Conor will only be this little for so long and I want to spend more time soaking him up!

(3) Read one book a month - this one is really important to me because minds are a terrible thing to waste and while I exercise mine daily it is not often being challenged in the ways that books can.  Nor is it allowed to daydream or wander which is so important for remaining a complete and creative person.

So there you have it - I have only three goals.  So you must wonder where does this blog fit it?  It doesn't!  That's the greatest thing about it.  I am not going to stress myself out over how many posts I can do a week and how long its going to take me to catch up.  I am 1.5 months behind and I have so much to say but with a HEAVY trial schedule its just not going to happen this month.  So I am going to write posts but they may not be posted too often as I do want to keep things in order for when I print out my blog.  So, stay tuned and I promise that once I have caught up resolution #1 comes into play and there will be a blogging system!
