Bah Humbug...that's how I feel about making Resolutions. Last year I chose
OLW {One Little Word} and quite honestly...that
didn't sorta worked out for me. My OLW was "
Strength" and I definitely mustered up strength in different moments where I might otherwise not have...and I did replay my word over and over in my mind to gather more strength when I needed it...but the year went on, and I forgot to remind myself to be strong...not that I fell apart or anything, but I didn't quite use my OLW the way I intended to. I'm still going to pick a new word for this year; but I'm also going to work on a more specifically worded resolution too...
Thanks to Jen, over at The Teacher's Cauldron, for giving me a nudge in this direction...
I'm pretty cliche' when it comes to making resolutions..but I have to be honest with you all. {I really want to be clever here and make a resolution that's never been made...one that makes you go A-HA...that's so cool, wow that Crisscross Applesauce girl is sooooo clever}As much as I hate that this seems to be my resolution every
bleepity,
bleep,
bleep year I have been left with no other choice. I've fallen off the wagon AGAIN!!!!!!!
I was a runner for a couple of years...it wasn't something I LOVED. It never really became a natural part of who I was and what I just *needed* to do to feel right with the world. {Do I wish I could look at it that way!} but I did feel really good AFTER I got a good run in and the races were a great motivator and so much fun!!!! {Okay...sorta fun}

So my personal resolution is to run
more okay just RUN{and eat better, and lose some weight in the process}...
My blogging resolution?
I want to share more of my day-to-day classroom ideas with you. Sometimes I think I get caught up in sharing only those ideas that I consider more earth-shattering or ones that I think might make you say "WOW, that's the coolest ever". In waiting for that big idea I can sometimes go
weeks days without blogging. I want to get over that and blog about even the "small" things because I think you can relate to something as simple as "how often do you switch your desks around in your classroom" just as much as you can to a post about
schema.
I leave you with this simple freebie...

Happy New Year to you!!!!!! If you'd like to share your resolutions or your OLW I'm
not above copying all ears...I *think* I might have my OLW picked out...but could be easily swayed if you share a better one!!!!
