But since I LOVE the ladies and everything they write over at Liberating Working Moms I decided to join in and come up with a few resolutions geared toward my life as a working mom.
- Leave work at work. I have a habit of bringing some of my smaller work tasks home and working on them on Sunday morning. I need to leave it at the office and spend that time with Hubby or the kids.
- Make better use of my travel time. I travel a lot for work and usually end up having some free time in the evening. I always tell myself that I am going to get a few blog post typed and scheduled when I have this free so I can spend that time with the family when I am home, but instead I spend that free time catching up on cable. I am going to work on that this year.
- Work on my relationship with Hubby. We have a good relationship, but like anything it could be better. After a day of work, kids, dinner, and chores I just don't really make time for Hubby and I should because he is awesome and I love him. Our marriage and relationship is the foundation of our family and I have moved it to the bottom of the list and it should be the top.
I would love to hear some of the things that you as a working mom - working in the home, out of the home, etc - have come up with. Please share a link in the comments or link up at Liberating Working Moms.
I'm so jealous you can leave work at home! I don't have that option as a teacher. Thanks for participating!
ReplyDeleteI especially love your resolution about making time for your hubby. That's something I need to work on in the coming months. What is it about having kids that makes a marriage so much more complicated? And is it really that much more complicated, or do we make it that way. Great post!
ReplyDeleteI too pledge to leave work at work this year. I have done well in the past, but I have recently been given more duties and am feeling the need to work at home. However, I can't put work in front of my family.
ReplyDeleteEven though as a teacher I can't always leave everything physical on my desk, I like the figurative side of that resolution... leave any baggage, any emotions, any stress from work at work.
ReplyDeleteThese are great! I love that you limited yourself to 3. I think starting small is a great way to NOT set yourself up for failure. Here's to a successful 2012! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat list. Working on a marriage is always a work in progress :)
ReplyDeletei feel you on the one about using your travel time. i always think i'll write or get more work done, but in the end, i end up doing more "me time," or as you put it, catching up on cable. i always think it will be more relaxing than it actually is.
ReplyDeleteAwww those are awesome!
ReplyDeleteI ALWAYS do this. If the hubs is out for the night, and my kid is asleep I always plan a whole blog posting extravaganza. I will catch up, I will schedule, I will........watch some crappy girl TV and pas out by 9pm. OYE!
