I don't really make resolutions, but...

altarflameThis is a list of things I would really like to accomplish in 2007. I'm not sure that it's the same as resolutions, really, more like a to-do list, but a hopeful one because a lot of it is contingent on outside forces or variables I can't forsee. And I'm not putting anything on here that is already a total given, i.e., keep all the kids fed or continue to homeschool A and A, or whatever. I'm trying to put them in priority order, starting with, "OhpleaseGodletthisbe OhpleaseGodletthisbe OhpleaseGodletthisbe" and ending with "That would be nice".
1. Have a healthy baby in a way that is free from medical and legal complications.
2. Make a decision I feel solid about, and Grant and I can both live with happily, and either convert to Catholicism or find another church that I can consider a real "church home" and feel good about taking the kids to.
3. Maintain the newly forged contact I've made with my dad's side of the family and a few olds friends, as well as REALLY keeping in touch with Nana and Pa all year long, and not just around Christmastime. Sidenote - I think I've maybe finally forgiven them for moving away.
4. Improve my math skills enough to not need remedial algebra classes, and test out of taking English 1 altogether. This requires me being proactive enough to study math quite a lot, and proactive enough to schedule a testing date and make it, for english.
5. Lose weight again like I did before Jake, after I've delivered.
6. Earn 12 more college credits, between Spring and Fall semesters combined, and with good enough grades that maybe I could actually shake off this academic probation I'm on from dropping out when Annie was a baby.
7. Start entertaining here, rather than always hoping someone or somewhere will have something entertaining going on for us to go to. A dinner party, a movie party and a Thanksgiving some relatives come to would be a good start.
8. Find an agent and/or publish my book
*it's taken me far too long to put those in order. In the end I just thought about how I'd feel if I didn't accomplish this or that, and it became a little easier.
