Tackle It Tuesday #11

Well, my son's 5th birthday is coming up next Thursday (the 15th), and we are having a small party for him here on Sunday. So my tackle, once again without pictures, is to clean the house put away all our Christmas decorations and find homes for the ton of toys he got for Christmas. OK, so I haven't really tackled all of that yet but it's my project for the week, so I will post some pictures during the week.

What I have accomplished is making phone calls for everything I needed to do, portrait appointment, get his allergist to call in a refill on his Asthma inhaler that he uses daily, call my husband's grandmother since we haven't seen her for Christmas yet, make his yearly doctor appointment and call same doctor to get a referral for his allergist appointment on Thursday.

I also made my New Year's Resolutions and have actually started on them. We got a Wii from my parents for Christmas and I bought Wii Fit/Balance Board with my birthday money so I've been doing the different activities on that mostly every day, I can tell you that if you are as out of shape as I am, these activities will kick your butt. I try to do at least 30 minutes per day of the different activities on Wii Fit and I'm doing pretty ok with it, I need to make sure I do it on the weekends too to keep getting better.

So this is what I have/am tackling this week, let us know what you are tackling and then head on over to 5 Minutes for Mom to see what other bloggers are tackling.

Happy New Years!

Well, I would have blogged yesterday, but, well I wasn't home. Every year my family, my parents and sisters & families get together for brunch, this year we went back to my older sister's after to celebrate her baby's 14th birthday (which was on Dec. 29) and then my Dad and hubby went out to get us new cell phones and to add my parents on to our plan so they'd have texting - a very important feature when they travel between NJ and FL two times a year (so 4 trips). Needless to say, we left here around 10 and didn't make it home until dinner time.

Anyway, I decided to make New Year's Resolutions this year, I don't usually do this, but I figured I need to make some kind of declaration on the changes I want to make in my life.

These are the resolutions I made:

1. To weigh less at the beginning of each month than I did the month before.
2. Lessen clutter by at least 25%
3. Blog 3-5 days per week consistently (so the few readers I do have will have more drivel to read)
4. Make a healthy dinner every night for the whole family (I know this one sounds weird as I'm a SAHM, but I'm a vegetarian, my son and husband aren't so we've kind of been eating separate meals, but this year I'm going to change that).

I will update monthly on my progress if anyone cares to read about it, but by doing that I have to make progress.

Have a happy, healthy new year!
