Happy New Year !!!

Tis the year of 2013 and I have no resolutions. This would probably be the first year that I haven't made any! I don't know if I should just leave it at that or if I should actually make some. I do need to improve in a lot of areas in my life but I am just so consumed with spending time with Oliver. Maybe my new year resolutions should be focused around him like feeding him when he is hungry and not putting it off. I could also improve on not holding him so much and letting him learn how his body works and give him some play time to himself and his play mat toy. OH! I definitely need to be better about giving him baths. Right now I just give him one bath a week and that is usually on Sunday when we go to church.  I want to be a better wife. I think I am a pretty good wife but I want to be better. I would like to be a better listener when Quentin is telling or explaining things to me. I would like to go out on more dates with him. I think since having Oliver we have been out on two dates. I miss spending time with Quentin.

I would like to watch what I eat and make proportions for myself instead of eating the entire pan of taco pasta bake. (You can find the recipe here: http://www.canadianmomscook.com/2012/07/taco-pasta-bake.html ). I need to lose my pregnancy weight and get back to my original weight so I can fit into my normal clothes. In order to do that I would need to exercise. There is a pool here but it is five miles away and I don't feel like driving all the way into town to go swimming for an hour or so. I could also exercise in my room where no one can see me looking ridiculous. I use to run but my knees are starting to give out on me. They pop when I go up and down the stairs.
I would like to save up money instead of spending it on Oliver and Quentin. I am good about not spending money but when I see something that Quentin mentioned that he wanted or needed I want to get it for him. I also want to buy everything for Oliver.
I want to learn to speak French. I would like to be done with school already, which I will be in April! YAY!

I also need motivation! If I get Quentin to do things with me I will be more confident and willing to change a couple things in my day to day living. There are so many things that I want to change in my daily routine but either I am lazy or I just really don't care to make the change. I think that I am too comfortable with how I am doing things. Am I scared to change? No, I don't think so. Maybe having so many things I want to change all at once is too overwhelming. I am going to try to just focus on a few things to change, instead of trying to change everything at once.
