So... for some... it might be time to start thinking of resoluitions for next year.  I mean if you are anything like me... the new year sneaks up on ya before ya know it and you just end up not making any.

I mean i did miss Thursday, somehow so... Might be time to start thinking about how I am going to try to make next year a little better for me.

I am thinking maybe I will just start making everything about me & getting myself better. I most times put myself on the back burner and my kids are first and then my hubby and if there is anything left over I guess it can be used on me.

I just do not think money should be wasted on me for any reason. But I do have times when I want something for myself, but that is few & far between. Hubby hates when I say I want something and then a few hours later we go to buy it and I say I do not want it and when he asks why I say... "Because it costs more than I want to spend."

Pisses him off when I do that. But that is how I am. Need to change that, because I am the same way about paying for anything medical... I would rather be in pain and hurt and suffer than have someone dish out money to make me feel better.

joonie39417.8178472222New Years  REVOLUTIONS  eh? hehehe I suck at spelling. LOL That's just a typo hun. You got it right in the post. I just thought it was funny

No was not a typo... I think I actually thought it was spelled like that... I looked at it before i started my post, and thought it looked wrong, but was like nope looks spelled right to me. LOL! Oh well. Maybe we SHOULD have a new years REVOLUTION!!! I'm in!

Viva Revolution!

Now picture the little Taco Bell dog leading us into our revolution. YOU CHANGED IT!!! PUT IT BACK!! There I put it back

 LOL Viva Revolution!!!!

My revolution is also going to be about me!!! I've been taking care of kids and family for 25 years and Im tired of going without.  

Im going to get my hair cut and highlighted. It's gotten so long and thin due to the meds. Im hoping a nice cut will make it look better. Then Im going to go and buy me --yes I said me-- a new wardrobe.  Im tired of wearing sweats and t-shirts. I went to the library yesterday and got some yoga tapes and stretching tapes. Im determined to get myself into shape. So, yea, it's definitely time for me!!!

Resolutions for me?  Probably to loose weight that would be the only thing and w/ the new house, I have to walk up stairs to get to the bedrooms and my office and down to the basement to the washer/dryer hopefully it will happen this next year.  Oh and to get of pred but im not going to push that one to hard, I dont want to be overly hurting just to be off of it. 

Hope everyones Resolutions go well.  We can definitly be a buddy system on here and be encourging to eachother!

I have not even had a hair cut since last October.... oct '06. And I felt SO BAD for having to pay to get it cut and I used my OWN money!

Yep, hoping To make it more about me, next year, but it is going to be hard to.

You just gotta go for it Joon!!!! We women sometimes lose our identity taking care of our illnesses, kids, and in other peoples cases, husbands. We get lost in life and it sometimes can be hard to do the things that make us happy. I feel that I have been given this one life and Im going to start living it as best as I can. Im going to start doing all the things that used to make me happy.

There is nothing that I can think of that just makes me stay awake at night because I am going to get to do it the next day. I have a short list of things I would like to do, but with RA being like it is... they will have to be put off until it is under control.

To never lose my temper with my daughter.  To be more understanding and try to be more affectionate - even though it hurts my RA/Fibro body.  Hands hurt to massage her and my body hurts if I hold her too long
