Mom Life..it's crazy

Every year right around this time, it's the same thing..."My New Years resolution is..." It's usually the same thing made many years before. Lose weight, eat healthier, get a better job, get a house, etc.  Do we really need a certain time of year to decide to do those things?  Wait, so you're telling me that you're going all year long thinking you would like one, or all of these things to happen in the next year, but you aren't going to attempt to achieve any of those things until the next year?  I used to be one of those...
