Weasel Of Doom

That was me falling off the “blog frequently, take photos frequently” wagon AGAIN. Let’s take a look how our other resolutions are fairing…

1. Be a better wife – ummm… ummmm… I suck… Or, as the case may be, I don’t suck… Yeah…
2. Be a better mother – surprisingly, doing somewhat better than expected there. Still nowhere near patient enough, and tend to slip into English when the going gets tough, but DemonChild has learn a couple of Russian words, even if he absolutely refuses to say any of them
3. Be a better friend – that did not go too well. Haven’t emailed anybody. *sigh*
4. Be a better employee – hard when half the time I am a tired out zombie, but I am trying.
5. Get organized – *insert maniacal laughter here*
6. Take pictures of the kids every day, or at least every other day – was actually doing pretty good at that one, but now my camera decided to bite the dust (well, partially bite the dust – I can still take pictures if I use the manual focus, but that’s about it)
7. Blog every day, or at least every other day – join me in the hearty “Ha Ha” here. Last two weeks, the blog entries would have been “so tired… falling asleep at keyboard….haiietiaeghaighsagdohdgif” You get the idea
8. Keep track of money – As my Dad says, “There are two questions we need answers for. Where does dust come from, and where does money go?” I have no answers
9. Pay everything on time – *sigh* if it ain’t automated, it ain’t getting paid
10. Go through all the boxes in the house – I think the basement will just have to resign itself to being a scary scary place
11. Waste less time – but that’s my one skill!
12. Get American driver’s license – amazingly, that one got done. Temperatures dropped in hell, etc, etc.
13. Decide whether or not I want to apply for American citizenship this year – still thinking
14. Send out Squeeker’s birth announcements and Christmas cards – I think we can forget about Christmas cards. There is some hope for the birth announcements still
15. Go through my clothes and get rid of at least some of them – but this would actually involved DOING something…
16. Lose 10 lbs – this should probably be “get in shape” and no, I have not made any progress on that, either
17. Not kill any more house plants – solution: get new house plants, because the old ones has been tortured so much they need to be put out of their misery
18. Videotape kids doing cute stuff at least once a week – still kinda-sorta managing to keep up with that one, but if I had to give our effort a grade, it would be a D, possibly a C-
19. Clean and organize office at work – half-way there, and then my motivation committed suicide
20. Finish OGRE afgan for BelovedSpouse – have not touched yarn this year

To summarize: ONE done. Making some progress on FOUR more. *hangs head in shame*
