Resolutions Resolved

On this day, the last day of the year, I have heard so much chatter about New Years Resolutions. I really never partake in this ritual. It seems fruitless. I watch others resolve to make changes only to feel a huge sense of failure when they are unable to do so.
Now, I am not perfect. ( I know. This just rocked your world.) I could change a thing or two. So, I guess If I were to make some resolutions they would include the following:
- Be less caddy/gossipy.
- Stop being such an OCD neat freak.
- Drink less ( than an alcoholic).
- Eat breakfast, daily. Decaf coffee is not a meal.
-Allow Rob to do things like fix his bike in the kitchen without freaking out.
- Stop hugging Hayden for ten minutes before he goes to bed each night while driving Rob crazy waiting for the love-fest to end.
- Back off the technology; no more texting while on the house phone and using the ipad.
-Admit that I need help sometimes ( although only from people who know what they are doing and by that I mean people who will do things my way)
- Stop laughing at others.
- Encourage Rob and Hayden to make a mess and clean it up later.
-Shower every Sunday. ( What???? Stop judging.)
- Cheer on a winning NFL team.
- Accept things that are not in my control.

There. These are things I could resolve to change. But, looking at this list, well, I'd just plain suck. I'd be a laid back, sober, girl, who doesn't gossip, is always clean, kind to others and cheering on a team like ( gulp) The Ravens. UGH.
No thanks. I resolve to continue being a sarcastic,chatty, uptight, loving person who cheers on the Redskins ( I'm loyal, too!)while chugging a beer at a MD tailagate and kissing and hugging Hayden as often and as long as he will let me. Eventually, it will seem wrong...like when he is 20?
I hope to continue to be me. Love me or leave me ( Not you , Rob. No leaving.)

Now, who wants to vacum... I sense crumbs.

Happy and healthy 2011 to all.
