New Years Resolutions

1. Get more than 6 hours of sleep every night. No exceptions.
2. Say "no" to people at least 10 times each day, 3 of which must be to children.
3. Eat 3 meals every day, only 1 of which can be a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
4. Cook 1 meal every day, even if it's just reheating a meal that was cooked earlier in the week. (This is an effort to stop eating a handful of frozen peas for dinner...)
5. Meet people who aren't teachers or who work in a school building on a regular basis. Try to hang out with them.
6. Read 1 book every 2 weeks. Size and content do not matter... well, if the book is more than 500 pages, I'll extend it by 1-2 weeks.
7. Read a newspaper every Sunday - attempt the crossword puzzle but won't get discouraged when I can only answer 4 clues.
8. Stop getting mad about adults not doing their job. It's unproductive. If people aren't doing their job in the first place, me being mad about it doesn't seem to motivate them to start doing their job.
9a. Exercise 3 times a week. Exercise is to be loosely defined as an activity that causes my heart rate to rise above 115 bpm. This is not a real workout, but it's better than nothing.
9b. Actually work out (heart rate above 140 bpm) twice a week - likely to be on Saturday and Sunday.
10. Write at least 1 blog post per week. It doesn't have to be long, it just needs to get done.

Happy Holidays!
