My husband and I have made it a habit to make specific New Years Resolutions every single year. We like to break our goals into 4 categories.
1. Faith
2. Family
3. Fitness
4. Finance
This way we cover all of the areas that are important to us. Resolutions are hard to keep. But that is the only way we really get
better. I hope that you learned something from 2008 because isn’t that what life is all about? Learning from our triumphs and mistakes. Making the life changes that are necessary to grow and change into something better than we were before.
Here at burbmom.net, we want to encourage you to sit down and make some goals for 2009. And we want you to share them with us…so we can help you get there. We also want to reward you for your goal-setting! Yes, I said REWARD….

I am really going to try to be a better employee in 2009- Seriously- 2008 was a REALLY bad year at work for me-
To say I disliked my manager was an understatement- We did not agree on anything-
I will have a new manager when I return next week- Hallelujah!
I did it! Went to the gym today for the 1st time in FIVE years. I’m in so much pain tonight, and I EARNED IT! Feels so good…

today.
(well, tomorrow)
I want to lose 11 lbs by my birthday (in June).
I would also like to open a Roth IRA. Mr. Right and I want to get our emergency fund well funded (he’s in real estate) before we do that though.
(posting on my blog…)
I am going to get to the gym, but more importantly I am going to get my rear back to church regularly. Major backslider here!
I would really like to start cooking more with my kids. They love and and it’s a great way to teach them a life skill they’ll always use.
My goal for 2009 involves my family and our chubby little chihuahua. We’ve been pretty lazy and allowed him to do the same. Our goal is to get out everyday w/ our sweet puppy and take him for walks. A simple goal w/ our dog’s health in mind, but one that will help us to stay fit as well!
I am working on re-working my 2008 goals…since I didn’t quite get a perfect score for last year.
My biggest one is remembering to fill the car with gas before the gas light comes on. I made marked improvements in 2008, but there is still room for improvement.
No sitting on the side of the road waiting for help in 2009!
Exercising is never my goal, BUT I joined a gym today 🙂
My biggest goal? To stop procrastinating everything. But I’m going to start working on that tomorrow.
