The creation of Nurse's Notes

I am participating in the Blog Dare on bloggy moms.  It is a month long challenge with daily prompts.  The  prompt for day 5 is "Why did you create a blog?"  That question is easy for me.  I have always kept a journal; this is simply an on-line forum for that.  Also, I wanted to share ideas and expertise in areas I am knowledgable (i.e. healthcare, parenting, autism).

The really cool thing though, is not only have I taught, I have also learned.  I have made a lot of awesome on-line friends, learned how to improve my blog, and learned more about the myriad aspects of social media.  I think these are my favorite thing about blogging.

If you blog, why did you start your blog? What is your favorite thing about blogging.

The 2011 To - Do List

In keeping with the new year, it's a good time to consider goals for the year.  I'm fairly simple and don't have many grandiose dreams.  Anything on my bucket list can't be accomplished this year since most of those goals are long-term.  That said, by the end of the year, I would like to accomplish the following:

• Read the Bible through
• Complete 20 hrs of grad school
• Get a part-time job that fits my schedule
• Help DS to prep for college
• Help DD with a successful transition to the next grade

What would you like to accomplish this year?  What are the places you would like to visit in 2011?  What do you hope to check off your bucket list in 2011?

Resolutions!

Ah, the time of year for resolutions.  Anybody excited? Anyone plan to keep them long term?  I make resolutions every year, but sadly, they usually don't seem to last long term.  Whether it is lack of will power, issues of daily life, or what have you, they quietly fade away.  They usually (on a good year) last until the end of January.

So, that said, what horrible traits can I remedy this year?  I think I will work on maintaining my cool and not letting school, home, & family responsibilities get the best of me.  Wish me luck!!
  

What is your resolution for 2011?  Do you often make a resolution and not keep it?  What is the longest you have kept a New Years resolution?  What is your most often chosen New Years resolution?  What do you think about New Years resolutions?
