My New Year's Resolution is to be a homemaker and have a happy family at least 75% of the time. I will do this by blogging Monday through Saturday about my quest to achieve this. My goal is to create peace and harmony in my home and family through organization.

This is harder than I thought
OK, so making this goal was probably not a good idea coming off of the holidays and a vacation. So, in essence, I have not done anything differently than I have all along. But, I do have a lengthy list of things I would like to do, and intend to accomplish. I do not feel like I have failed, because my family is fed, the house is relatively clean, I am working full time still, until I can release the guilt of letting others down, and I am training for a marathon. So tomorrow, the housekeeper is coming and I have my long run. The marathon is in one week from Sunday, so I need to focus on getting a time less than four hours. My goal for tomorrow is to put up the Valentine's Day curtains and put the Quicken money manager on my computer, because having a balanced budget is a homemakers job. I will report tomorrow night (as long as work isn't too busy).

This is IT!!!!
Starting today (and I am on vacation, so it doesn't really count today, but I have done the part with trying to keep a happy home), I am a homemaker. BY CHOICE. I have quit my full time nursing job to become a homemaker to a home that holds one supportive, handsome husband, and four darling children. I am doing this to improve the quality of my home, bring unity to my family, and get the guilt out of me! So, when I get back home, I will start this journey, so tomorrow I have ten hours to think about how I am going to accomplish this. So get ready for pictures of before and after shots of the projects that I have and after I finish them. Wish me luck. And wish my family luck. They will probably need it.
