Trop50 True Resolutions – $25 Giveaway!
With 2011 coming to a close, it is time to get ready to get real in 2012 starting with your real New Year Resolutions. I know I have several myself!
One of my New Years Resolutions will be to lose weight. Not only do I have my brother in laws wedding in September, but I want to do it for me. Through some networking I’ve done in 2011, I had an opportunity I couldn’t turn down happen to help make this goal happen for me (I know, not a lot of information there, but there will definitely be some blog posts in the future describing exactly what this all means!). I am setting myself up for success this year!
Another resolution we have as a family is to save money. I swear everything broke down in 2011. I had to replace the tires on both our vehicles and my van had several costly repairs. We still don’t have the air working yet in there either. The house also probably needs a new central air unit too. (That money will be coming out of our tax return). We are hoping that all the big expenses are out of the way and we can start saving more. In the fall, we’ll have 2 kids in Catholic school, so we need every cent!
Another resolution will be to travel more! Bill and I are in the process of planning a trip to New York (and yes, we are driving 12 – 14 hours with two kids. Please, remind me why this is a good idea!!!).

Thinking happy happy thoughts
NOT! I swear when it rains it pours. I awoke to a huge puddle of water in front of my house this morning. Now, the temp is -8 with a windchill of -20, so I definitely should not have had standing water. I called Bill freaked out and he had me call the village. I think it is a water main break. However, nobody bothered to come to my door. Instead, they just turned off my water. I just realized it when I tried to make Will his diluted version of juice. Needless to say, I am ticked. I called the village, and they won’t give me an ETA at all. I seriously would love to know if I need to send Bill out for water or what. I seriously am trying not to be highly irritated right now. I could be working on things like Increasing Blog Article Quality or doing some of my freelance work. Instead, I am standing in my front window watching my village dig a huge hole in my street and trying to figure out what to make for dinner with no water. Also, try explaining to a 5 year old why she can’t flush the toilet after we have spent 2 years drilling it into her head that she needs to flush the toilet.
I know there are way bigger things in life I should be concerned about, but man this is irritating.
