And now.... for your reading pleasure, I'm revisiting my 2011 goals and setting new ones:  Hopefully the old ones and my comments will be in different colors.  Here goes:

1. Finish losing weight and move on to maintaining the loss.
Since we moved, I've gained back about 20 pounds of my loss.  This year I want to get back on track and start losing again!  I want to "re-lose" my 20 and lose another 20. 

2. Read one "classic" novel per month, or 12 total. I have read quite a few, but I need to read more of the classics.
Hahaha!  I failed miserably on this one.  This year, I want to shoot for 5 classics.

3. Read to the girls more often. The boys read well, so they would rather read a book themselves, but the girls enjoy listening to me read to them.
This one was hit and miss, especially after I started working again.  Caitlyn is learning to read, so I think she will really benefit from me trying this one again.  Also, Caleigh really enjoys this special time, so I need to focus on this with her, too.  To make this goal more quantifiable, I am going to try to read one book to each girl at least 4 nights per week.  Should be easy peasy, right?

4. Work on patience.
Did well on this one, but could definitely continue to improve.  Overall this one was a relative success :)

5. Quit, or at least minimize, the yelling in our house. In high school, I was reading the definition of "temple" in the bible dictionary, and it is, "A temple is literally a house of the Lord, a holy sanctuary in which sacred ceremonies and ordinances of the gospel are performed by and for the living and also in behalf of the dead. A place where the Lord may come, it is the most holy of any place of worship on the earth. Only the home can compare with the temple in sacredness." -from the LDS Bible Dictionary, bolding and emphasis is mine. I want to focus on treating our home with the sacredness and dignity is deserves.
Overall, we're doing well on this one.  But it never hurt to try and do a little better.

6. Along with number 5, I want to keep the house in better order. So far this year, I am failing miserably, but once I get moving for the day that will change...I'm just sure of it!
This one is going well because my mom is saving my butt when I work!  Overall, I'm doing better, too, but she's doing all the heavy lifting on this one.  Gonna keep on trucking on this one, too!

7. Make birthdays fun and meaningful. Make sure to celebrate everyone's birthday and to make them feel special.
We did good on this one this year.  I want to keep it up, though!  Our birthdays will be great this year :)

8. Treat my husband with more kindness. 
I'm doing MUCH better on this one.  We both are.  We're both still a little snarky here and there, but we're more respectful, too.  Good job, me!  hehehe!

9. Blog at least weekly. My memory is really horrible, so if I don't write it down, I WILL forget it!
Not even close.  Fail!  Let's shoot for bi-weekly this year.

10. Get more sleep. 
Ha!  I'll sleep when I'm dead.  I'm gonna focus on living life to the fullest!

1.  Lose 40 Pounds
