Our twin experiment is now in its seventh year! We’ve had a wonderful Christmas season, and are moving quickly towards the new year. Although I should expect the chaos that comes with Christmas and two sets of twins, I find that I am always amazed at how busy this season plays out.  But through it all, we’ve tried to stay focused on “The Reason for the Season”, and that makes all the chaos bearable.

With the New Year just around the corner, I am thinking about my New Year’s resolutions.  I haven’t finalized my list yet, but here’s the informal list:

  1. Simplify.  This has two elements.  First, I really need to de-clutter the house.  I know that will makes things easier for me, but there is work to make it happen. Second, I need to try not to take on too much. This is a common problem of mine.  When I see something that needs to be done, I volunteer to help (or take the whole darn project on myself!).
  2. Get Fit.  It’s been seven years since the birth of my 2nd set of twins and it is about time that I spend a little time and effort on myself.  I plan to start eating right and to make time for exercise.
  3. Schedule.  I plan to sort through all the things I want to get done on a weekly basis (like blogging at least 3 times a week!), simplify, and then fit it into a schedule that I’ll have a reasonable expectation of maintaining.
