2011

Well another year has passed... Seemed to go by quick, the days seemed shorter...
So what will 2011 bring? What do I want it to bring? Whats my resolution for the year??????
Well it seems that in various things I've taken a backwards step. First- The family, I feel as though I've lost my calm feeling that I worked hard at achieving , I'm snappy again and I don't like it, do I really want my kids to grow up with a grumpy parent? No not really... So that's high on the list of things to change. Second- Time with the wife, well things are pretty good I think, but we've stopped making time for ourselves-work/kids/hobbies/Internet-seems to over run it sometimes. So I want to work on some quality time for ourselves. Third- The big one that always seems to come up....Money, now its not like we're struggling or anything, we eat well, go out plenty, and we do buy things when needed, but, we're not really saving money though, and I'm not managing my income very well, and not making progress on my car...Ive sold some things on ebay which went well, spending money on the car and saving don't normally go together, but it is possible. So time to have a big cleanout/selloff, stick to a savings plan/weekly budget for the car too. Forth- Lifestyle, now really we're not doing too bad there, but i'd like a better house, paying for location is one thing, but having a below average house is another, we have a house move coming up soon so that's something to look at. The dogs-well actually Atlas- is going to need some work in regards to not running laps-and trenches in the backyard- so I need to make a big effort there, more exercise and training-more time with dogs can be taken from internet time- that will help with the house thing, this house was a last resort thing, I didn't want to spend too much time waiting for the perfect house, this time around we can look abit more.

I think that's about it, well maybe for resolutions, one goal I have is work related-move up the tree so too speak- but that'll come in time... I should check my lotto tickets too, you never know how good the year might be starting!
