Thursday Thirteen # 10

...I'm Going To Do (or die trying!)

1. To hold my cool longer.
I'm not sure why but the past year, my temper has become so volatile. Aren't we supposed to mellow as we get older? Anyway, this year I'm going to make a conscious effort to control my temper more.

2. To be more patient.
Related to # 1. I used to have the patience of a saint but now... *sad face*

3. To get into Pilates and to stick to it.
Since I don't have time to go to classes, I'm going to purchase the video and a mat and start getting my jiggly act together.

4. To cook more.
I admit, I prefer to eat than cook. But since I'm a mom and a wifey now, I have to start becoming a domestic goddess and cooking is the best place to start.

5. To pick my battles.
Enough said.

6. To stay optimistic.
I've always been a the-glass-is-half-full person and I plan to keep being that.

7. To go back to playing badminton.
I need my endorphin rush... fast!

8. To learn how to budget better.
I used to be such a spendthrift, okay?! :)

9. To save up.
Our son needs a college fund and we don't believe in educational plans.

10. To be a better wife.
I'm not bad but I could do better. Right, sweetie? :)

11. To be a better mom.
Same as above.

12. To be a better person.

13. TO DO ALL OF THE ABOVE.

  5. #5 and #11 sound like the best to me. Yeah, sometimes we mellow as we get older, and with others we learn what crap we just won't put up with anymore.

  10. Gosh, there's a lot of "better"ing there. My guess is that you are enough as you are! I do think striving to grow is important! My hat is off to you!

    Happy TT.
