New Year, New You

New Year resolutions are not for everyone. They are somewhat hard to keep. This year has started off to a rocky start. Last year did as well.
Since having a family I like to start off the new year with a clean house and everything put away. That was not the case this year. I had to nurse ear infections and colds. I had to make sure all was taken care of. Kind of hard to clean and take care of the younger two, nurse and clean. It had to wait.
I was finally able to get the house clean for the most part. Clean, not put away. I have to go through the stuff we have and get rid of what we do not need. I will probably end up with a storage unit so that we have more space in the house.
As for resolutions, I have a few. I usually choose to drop weight. Especially since I became a mom. That is not the case this year. I have decided to work on our health as a family. SD and I have both gained weight since we got married. The kids play a huge part in this. Prince and Munchkin have both had rashes that were not explainable. It really bothers us. So I have decided to go as natural as possible. This might not be to hard. I am not sure.
I also want to try and keep my resolution from last year. My resolution last year was to donate as much blood as I can. I was not able to do that last year because the first day of the new year I found out I was pregnant with Munchkin. You can not donate blood when you are pregnant. I do have an issue that I have low platelets and for my health I need to make sure that they are up to a good level. If all is clear I hope to donate to the American Red Cross as well at Balboa Naval Medical Center to help wounded soldiers.
I also want to have more patience and spend more time with the kids. Last year was hard. I feel guilty and rather bad for being down and out when I was pregnant. Munchkin is getting older and growing well so I want to get out and do more with the kiddos.

I am hoping that I am able to keep these resolutions. They do not seem hard. In fact, they are pretty simple.

Do you make New Year resolutions? If so, what are yours?
