I hate making resolutions because when I don't do them I feel like a failure! So I decided this year I was going to call it "things I want to try/change in 2010" Then if it doesn't happen, Oh well!
1-Be more patient with my children.
2-Find ways to keep a better house (ie cleaning, organizing, etc)
3-Learn to Knit. (I will be learning the German way from my Oma!)
4-Do 4 scrapbook pages a week! (im soo behind that I have got to catch up)
5- Loose 30 more pounds (preferablly before august!)
6- excercise 3-4 days a week
7- Read a book a month
8- Have one date night a week with my husband! (even if it is just sitting at home with no children)
9- Have more ME time!
10-Try to not spend so much money! (ie. eating out and stupid crap I buy that I don't need)
Im sure there are more but thats all I can think of!
Also, I need some advice. This is probably to personal to be puting on a blog but most of you who read it are family and close friends and I value your opinions!!
Im having a dilema! I want to have a baby! I want to start trying in August of 2010 but I keep getting mixed emotions!
Heres the deal! Its no secret that we live with my dad and don't pay anything! With Nick getting a pay cut, yet again, we are lucky to have enough to pay the bills we already have! We can't afford health insurance so we have state help with that. To make a long story short, we are barley making ends meat, but we are making it! Nick works 5, 12 hr days and then does side work on the weekends so we can have a good life!
I also want to go back to school. So my thought is I have our last baby in spring 2011, have nick go to school while I stay home with them and then when they are grown a bit I go to school. Or the other thought, I go to school now as well as nick and have a baby in 3-4yrs when were both done (and our last kid will be like 4 yrs apart from bryn so I will probably end up having another one close) and hopefully nick will have a good enough job that we can have our own house and pay bills!
So my question is... what would you do? Am I crazy to even think about having a baby right now? I need advise!!! HELP!!!

I say have a baby now. Things (i.e.money) will work out. In my world I want my kids close together so I don't feel like I have two separate families. Trust your own judgement and do what is best for you and your family:)
I agree with Vic. I say have a baby too. If its not time the Lord won't let it happen. Heck your girls are so adorable--why wait? Just kidding, but they are way cute! I say try and see what the Lord has instore for you. Or pray about it until then.
I think you should have another baby! Money will always find a way... and Like your friend said, Heavenly Father will only have it happen if it's the right time. Go with your gut, a mothers instinct is usually dead on... if it's meant to be, it will be... :)
I say have a baby! I am and some days I wonder how we'll handle it, but I know the Lord will provide where he's needed. He wants us to have families, so if you feel like it's time for another child, he will help :)
You could start school now AND try in August like you were planning. By the time you have the baby you'll have a year or more under your belt. Then if you don't get pregnant right away, you won't feel like you've wasted any time. Your Dad's not going to kick you out anytime soon, right?? Don't worry... it'll all fit in place. PRAY!
