Come and share your objectives for 2009

[Quattrocento]

I used to try resolutions but now I just do objectives because they are a generally easier and more specific. Here are mine:

1. To support DD carefully in her transition to whichever senior school she goes to
2. To ensure the DCs do their piano practice and go to tennis sessions without fail
3. To ensure DH gets a day to himself every month
4. To rebuild the wall next to the garage and redo the main bathroom
5. To lose 12 lbs by my birthday and maintain the new weight for the rest of the year
6. To cut out drinking entirely midweek
7. To support the development of X such that he gets promoted next time round
8. To bill £x million in FY09.
9. To raise £x for the charities

10. To make a new will

1. To stop thinking about work and start thinking about my children the minute I set foot in the front door

1. To pause and think when I open the fridge for the 10th time, looking for 'something' at 9.30 at night

1. To keep on top of the washing! (bane of my life)

Same as usual really. Decorate bedroom! Its becoming more of a habit than a resolution!

Good idea!

1. To choose a pre-school to suit DS
2. To give birth to DS2 by c-section and successfully establish breastfeeding.
3. Effectively control by gestational diabetes
4. Find the time to engage my brain during maternity leave
5. Take up a realistic post-natal exercise programme and stick to it
