I know new years resolutions are a bit naff, but I'm starting to think about my plans for 2013.

There's nothing major happening in the family, other than DD1 moving from 2 days / week day care to 5 day fortnight kindy (hooray!). I'll still be home with the baby, and ticking a few more subjects off my degree. No moving, or babies, or job changes on the horizon here.

I think the main thing I want out of 2013, that I didn't do this year, is to never say to friends

"We'll have to catch up soon".

Cause this year, 'soon' turned into 6 months, and beyond.

So this year, I'll be proactive about making concrete plans.

What do you want out of next year?

In 2013 I want a full time job, then to join a gym and to lose over 20kgs. The first should be happening soon, then only two things left to go for the new year.

1) Our business to finally take off and deliver all it has promised.

2) My baby to be healthy and for me to take well to mothering.

3) For me to find work (either with my current employer or a new one) that is fulfilling and compatible with 2).

"Hell is other people," Jean-Paul Sartre
I'd like some simplicity in our lives, which have been so over-stressed and over-complicated for too long.

We are going for health and peace in 2013.

We may or may not achieve it!

5) Go back to work or study

If a cat doesn't like you, then what's wrong with you?
I want DH to find a job and to get help with his depression whether we stay together or not.

I want to find peace and happiness and to overcome my own depression.

I want to get my life in order and not be so overwhelmed by the domestic things. I want to take action and control of my life.

I want to be better financially, DH and I are soooooo crap with money.

I want to be healthier and welcome our new baby.

I want to continue watching DS grow.

I want to have more quality friends to spend time with.
