Here is my list of New Year’s Resolutions for this year.  They are not in any order and some of them are even from last year.  I have also broken them into groups so that I can manage them better as well as to make it easier for me to remember them.

Personal Resolutions

Stop Yelling.

Stop Cursing. (Or at least slow it down.)

Control Anger (To be more Patience – Proverb 15:1)

Read the Bible.

Read more books.

Be a good dad and husband.

Pay more attention to my family.

Get Kids to school and on time.

Financial Resolution

Have less Debt or try to get out of Debt.

Work Resolution

Work harder at work.

Writing Resolutions

Write almost every day in my personal hand written journal.

Start writing poetry and poems again.

Write 2 to 3 or more times on my blog a week.

Read more Dad and family blogs and leave comments on them.

(If anyone knows any good blogs that I can read and is not on my blog roll then please leave it in the comment area of this post.)

I want to say first of all that I’m back to blogging again as well as

Happy New Year!!!

Yes, I know I’m a few days late and I’m not going to make a list of excuses for why.  I have been a busy dad over the holiday season and everything is getting back to normal of at least as normal as things can get.  I am also changing the content of my blog a little bit.  It will still be about being a busy dad, but it will be more free-flowing and less like a professional post from a newspaper.  Two reasons for the changes are that you can see my emotions in my posts and it is a whole lot easier to write.  I will still edit my posts but I will not try to make it look like something you read out of a newspaper.

I’m going to write on my blog more often than I had in the past.  I even have it as one of my resolutions for this year.  I’ll also keep writing as a secondary since my family and my religion is always first one my list.  This will cause some of my posts on holidays to be before or after the holiday has happen.   Other than that you should be able to see me writing on here.

I have already created my resolutions for the year 2013 as I previously mentioned above and I’m going to try my hardest to keep them this time.  I’ll list them in a different post later on.  This will give me another post for this week.

This has been a bad start of me so far this year.  I lost an uncle this past weekend.  My family was close to each other growing up and I remember going to his house a lot or doing activities with his family.  He will be missed.

On a good note, my family is healthy and not sick for the first time in a couple months.  I believe we finally gotten rid of the sicknesses that we picked up at Thanksgiving time.  Also fantasy football is now over so I don’t have that tying up my time as well.  I poorly manage my time with it and spending my time with my family.  This fall will be a little bit different.  I also started a blog about my fantasy football side at I will start posting to called “Fantasy Football Glory” at http://fantasyfootballglory.wordpress.com/.

I’m also reading the bible with my oldest son since he asked me to this with him this week which is not part of my resolution for this year.  This came out of nowhere and he was not coached to ask either.  It allows me to spend one on one time with him as I try to do for each of my kids and wife.

So I’ll wrap this post up and hope everyone has an awesome and prosperous 2013.
