Resolutions

It seems that every year I'll think of a few things that I would like to change about myself, about my life.  I'll ponder it for a few days, and then procrastination sets in and nothing changes.  It's caused me to become stagnant, never-changing.  This year I decided I will make actual resolutions, and deadlines.

First of all,  I vow to procrastinate less.  This has been my downfall, for why do now what you can put off until later?  This is why I haven't started school, why my son still sleeps with me, why my house never seems to be completely clean...  Procrastination is why I am not who or where I want to be in life.
So here's what procrastinating less will bring me to doing:

  • I WILL start school.  As a matter of fact, I go tomorrow to register for my classes.  I want to make something of myself, and not be just a homemaker.  I love staying at home with my son, but at the end of the day, I am not happy.  I want to become a substance abuse counselor, and help people.  The first step to that is continuing my education.
  • I WILL be a better mother.  Not to say that I am a bad mom, but there are definitely areas that I want to improve on.  
  • I WILL worry more about myself and less about making other people happy.  By learning to say "no" every once in a while, I think that I could definitely find more time for myself and get to a point where I can actually make friends and learn how to not depend on what everyone thinks of me.
  • I WILL work on having a social life.  Right now, I spend all of my time at home, with my son.  It's great, because I have severe anxiety and this is my comfort zone.  It tends to get lonely though, when my fiance decides he wants to go out and even if I had a babysitter, I don't have anything to do.  
In all, I think these resolutions are definitely do-able.  I will be a happier, well-rounded person if I follow though with these and that is exactly what I need to be.  If not just for me, for my kids as well.  They need to see their Momma be a happy person, and that's what I want to be for them!
