Resolutions Revisited.

Yeah, I'm one of those annoying people who makes resolutions every year. And I usually forget about them within...hours. We had a family discussion about this topic today, and Mia tried to guess what ours would be. Right off the bat, she said, "Daddy's will be to sleep more." HA! That was hilarious because anyone who knows Dave has heard him complain about not getting enough sleep. Then she thought about me for a minute, and said, "Mommy's will be to spend less money." Man, just when you think nobody's paying attention. I'm always talking about getting bargains and cutting costs. But resolutions shouldn't come so naturally. This year I'm going to stop yelling. There are situations that bring out the worst in everybody, and for me, this means screaming my head off. So until I achieve an inner peace that will allow me to float like a butterfly through those toxic situations, I will avoid them like the plague. Sure, sometimes I am blindsided. But there are certainly situations that I dive right into, in full denial, out of some bizarre need to prove to the world that I can handle it. It hardly ever works. 2009 will be a year of peace for the Davidson Three. (Hmmm...these posts can be deleted, right?) Oh, and what do you think Mia came up with for herself? "I need to play more this year." Yeah, because 362 days of play in 2008 (she was sick a couple of times) just didn't cut it!
