goals/resolutions for 2012

2012 will bring a lot of changes for me personally and for my family, and although I don't always make New Year's resolutions, I know there are certain things I want to remember to do this year.

1. Not worry about money. Anyone who knows me, knows that I'm pretty frugal. Spending large amounts of money gives me anxiety, and to be honest, I get nervous anytime I'm afraid our checking account will go below $1,000. Is this ridiculous? Yes. Do I know it? Yes. This will be especially important once I stop teaching in the fall, because I know that our financial situation will change. I need to try to be responsible, not crazy.

2. Exercise. That first trimester really zapped my energy, but with 2 new prenatal workout DVDs, I'm hoping to get back on the exercise train by doing something 6 days a week. I have no idea how my body will respond post-partum, but I would like to run another half-marathon in 2013--hopefully with my dear husband!

3. Go out with a bang. I really want my last semester of teaching to be one where I am great. One of my reasons for stopping teaching is that I don't want to shortchange my students or my child--I feel like if I had to balance both of those responsibilities, someone would not get my best. I just really want to end this school year knowing that I gave it my best, and that my students are better off for having had me as their teacher this year.
