Garga Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 Be better about saving money. Homeschool the kids. Keep my weight stable. Get some more college under my belt Write a book (or at least give it a real try!) Declutter the attic, basement, shed, and closets (it might just take 10 years--gulp.) Devote more time to developing my friendships (relationships with people are so important, and yet are the first things to go when we're busy--why is that??) Call my parents more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosie_0801 Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 In the next decade I want to: ~Get enough sleep than anything further down the list can happen ~Continue with my self education plan. This year that involves grammar and literary analysis. Once I've finished up with English grammar, I'll start with Latin. As the kiddies grow up, I should have a bit more time for such things so will add maths and logic. ~Start homeschooling :D ~Go back to being that cheery Mamma I used to be before the sleep deprivation of baby #2. ~Take back the responsibility for food prep ~Buy our own home ~Get our life into a daily, weekly, yearly rhythm ~Learn to garden! One can only accomplish so much in a drought without topsoil. ~Get a handle on dressmaking. I'm not very good at it :) ~Train my children to be industrious. Thank goodness a decade is ten years long... Rosie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennW in SoCal Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Good grief -- in 10 years I'll be facing my 60th birthday!! That just gives me pause. In the next decade I hope to... figure out what post-homeschooling life is like as my youngest only has 2 more years of high school make the time to exercise to keep my bones strong through old age (to prevent, as my dh describes it, "bird bones") learn to cook for enjoyment rather than the necessity of feeding kiddos see both kids graduate from college and start their lives and maybe, just maybe, become a mil and grandmother continue playing and teaching violin continue cherishing life and family Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
