New Years Resolution

Okay, for those of you who don't know me...
My house is almost always cluttered.  I try to keep it clean at least if not neat, but ever since some time in my pregnancy, I basically lost all will to move let alone clean.  I gave in to this will, just like the will to eat chocolate, cake, brownies, and all other things unhealthy.
I'm also very moody.  My husband laughed while reading "For Men Only" in the part where they say that pushing the same button receives different reactions.  He is at least more understanding now of why I am so crazy and I react differently even though he "does the same thing."
I also have this crazy habit of spending all of my husband's hard earned money, though I have gotten a lot better.  I saved enough this year to go on not one but two vacations.  Albeit, one was to a relatives house where they graciously bought us a few meals (we tried to return the favor by cooking for them, so I hope they enjoyed that) and the other used up most of our savings... But those are the only family vacations we have ever been on and I wouldn't change them for the world.
I also gained a lot of weight.  Note the pregnancy and not eating healthy above... Yeah.  I'm not ever going to be one of those tiny girls you see on tv, but I know I can be healthier at least.
So, my New Years Resolution (3 days late, hahahaha) will be to do all those things better.
Yup.  I said it.
Now, I discovered this website called FLYlady (google it, it's cool) that seems to be the answer to how I will achieve these goals (or most of them) with a baby who hates to be put down or sitting for longer than 3 minutes and a son who has recently taken up the phrase "I can't do this." and a husband who tries so very hard and is my hero (most of the time) while he works, goes to school, and tries to help me out at home.  Oh, and the dogs.  My poor dogs.  They are forgotten a lot.  Not really, but they have not been as spoiled since our baby girl came home.
So, my first entry of the year is my resolutions and it's already late.  But that's okay.  No one is perfect and I never claimed to be.  My husband may say differently, but let's not tell him that I said this online.
So, for tomorrow, or today I guess:
Keep the sink shiny, drink water, organize a little more, snap a little less, eat healthier, move more, and finish those coupons so I can go shopping and get the items before the sales are up.
