{commit} update


I'm checking in with my 2013 commitments!

The original post with my checkin!

-----Totally doing this!  I don't bring much of anything home and I've only went to the school one day on one weekend...that's it! WOOP WOOP-----------
I didn't bring home piles of work each night/weekend.  I didn't spend countless hours at the school on the weekends.  Sure, maybe once a month (dang centers) I spent a few good hours there on a Sunday....but it wasn't EVERY weekend or EVERY night. 

**I'm committing to that again.  
I need to use my time at the school wisely and not always 
over talking to bugging Alysha :-)
I only have the evenings with Parker once I'm back at work so I want to make the most out of them.  Sure I might have a few things to bring home to work on here and there, but it won't be as much as it used to be.

---Let's not talk about this one yet.  I'm not making boxed meals and neither is Chad as much, but I still feel like they could be better. So, still working on this one.------
**I also want to try and make cleaner meals...less boxed stuff.  
I'm committing to 1x a week for now.  I think that's reasonable.  
I can't commit to an all or nothing....that isn't reasonable.

------This is still a work in progress.  We are teaming the cleaning but doing it all in one day--------
**I also want to find a balance for keeping the house clean.  I used to spend one day during the weekend to clean...that gets to be too much when your husband is just a "picker upper" and not a "cleaner".  So maybe Mondays I'll clean up the whole kitchen, Tuesdays I'll do windows, etc etc.  I'm bound to find a balance somewhere. I've got quite a few "cleaning schedules" pinned on pinterest....

----Got the coat hooks up finally! That's a start!------
**I am committing to finally getting the house decorated....

------Haven't done this yet-------
**I'd like to explore the Dave Ramsey envelope system again...
not committing to doing it, just exploring it a little more.


------Haven't done this yet-------
**The utility room WILL get organized in 2013...COMMITTED!

----I have totally read 2 books so far!-----
**I'm committing to reading 1 book for pleasure this year.  
I haven't done this in awhile and I'd like to.  
So I'm committing to one, if I read more than that GREAT!   

-----I tried new make up in January.  I really like it!  Yoga is in my near future also I think!-------
**I'm committing to trying/doing/going to 5 different things.  Maybe it's going to a new store, going for a walk in a different park than normal, trying to crochet, attending an event we've never been to... WHO KNOWS! The possibilities are endless!
 I would commit to 12, but that is one a month and that 
is not currently reasonable for ME. 
 5 is a good number...

---This is in place and is lame...not fond of it at all------
I've also got a new bill book idea that we will be starting in January.  With this record keeping I have decided it's best to start fresh by following the calendar....so this doesn't get changed up often =)


How are your 2013 commitments going???
