That I can do. These are not in a specific order...<br /> <br /> <strong><em>1.</em></strong> <strong>To get Devon fully potty trained, by the end of January.</strong> I am trying really hard, and have asked the Lord to help me stay patient and Devon be ready.<br /> <strong><em>2.</em></strong> <strong>Get back to making things from scratch. </strong>It's so easy and much more affordable.<br /> <em><strong>3.</strong></em> <strong>Make it through the next 4 months with out complaining. </strong>I'm a little over 5 months pregnant. Pregnancy isn't fun for me. Being a mom is unbelievable!<br /> <strong><em>4.</em></strong> <strong>Jump</strong>-<strong>start my relationship with God.</strong> I do believe Jesus is the only way! I need to get my prayer life back and get myself to church and stop being lazy!<br /> <strong><em>5.</em></strong> <strong>Be a better wife and mother than last year. </strong>I'm not too shabby, but there is always room for improvement no?<br /> <strong><em>6.</em></strong> <strong>To make more time for myself. </strong>I never want to be away from my son, but I will work on it. With the new baby coming this could be a REAL challenge.<br /> <strong><em>7.</em></strong> <strong>Buy a new bed</strong>-<strong>set.</strong> We sleep on my husband's childhood bed. Need I say more?<br /> <strong><em>8.</em></strong>&nbsp; <strong>Make new friends.</strong> It's always nice to meet new people, and genuinly like hanging out with them!<br /> <strong><em>9.</em></strong> <strong>Make a perfect caramel macchiato.</strong> I try sooo hard, but always come up <em>just</em> short.<br /> <strong><em>10.</em></strong> <strong>Talk my husband into getting me a new phone. </strong>Nick is very..........frugal. This could be the hardest thing to accomplish seeing as I am not do for a new phone till March 2012!<br /> <br /> I'm sure as the year goes on my list will change and expand, but I think this is a good start.

The snack <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">cabinet</span>. I asked him what he wanted and he jabbed his hand up again. After I opened the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">cabinet</span> and picked him up he pointed to the half eaten bag of Doritos. Normally I would say no and put him down, but that darn Oprah episode from yesterday popped into my head ( she had mothers on there saying how hard it is to be a mother and admit their shortcomings) so I thought <span style="FONT-STYLE: italic">why not have a moment?</span> I gave him a snack bowl with 4 <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Doritos</span>- he is only 1!<br />Not 2 minutes later do I hear him gagging! I ran to him as he gagged and still had his eyes fixated on Yo <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">Gabba</span> <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error">Gabba</span>. Smacked his back 3-4 times thinking, crap I don't know the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Heimlich</span>! Needless to say all is well, but that is what I get for letting him eat Doritos for breakfast! Bacon is now in the oven.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5105052580512633954-4749003490170825937?l=orchid-ineedatissue.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/aTmOJ2ie0oGqf6TPnB3zSoqOFfE/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/aTmOJ2ie0oGqf6TPnB3zSoqOFfE/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/aTmOJ2ie0oGqf6TPnB3zSoqOFfE/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/aTmOJ2ie0oGqf6TPnB3zSoqOFfE/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/INeedATissue/~4/pAtzz0-8-Cw" height="1" width="1"/>Chanilenoreply@blogger.com0http://orchid-ineedatissue.blogspot.com/2009/04/breakfast-doritos.html
