BoyMommy Resolutions I Can Keep


It’s almost 2013, and I have finally figured out that I am setting my expectations too high.  So this year, I’m keepin’ it real.  This year, I will

  • Not lose any weight.  In fact, I might gain a little or I might stay the same, but I certainly will not lose any.

  • Ignore “that smell” coming from the general direction of the boys’ bathroom.

  • Continue to be the only woman in my social circle who wears a skirted swimsuit.

  • Celebrate my annual 39th birthday, for the 2nd year in a row.

  • Visit Target at least once a week, if not more.

  • Wear my bus stop sweat pants whenever I damn well please, and I will ignore the rolling eyes and the suggestion that I burn them.

  • Allow my children to wear holey jeans and mismatched sweatpants to school.  If they don’t care, why should I?

  • Not volunteer for anything else, thus freeing up more time for me to finish watching all 9 seasons of Greys Anatomy.

  • Cultivate a relationship with my dust bunnies, whereby I give them names, attribute personalities to them, and treat them as houseguests instead of feeling guilty about their existence.

  • Take afternoon snoozers and rationalize my habit by reminding myself and anyone who criticizes me that my children get home from school at 3, so technically I’m workin’ swing shift.

  1. I can get behind those resolutions, myself. Except that my snoozers generally start about 10 am and last until 2 pm so that I can be coherent at 3:30 when my IHP gets home.
