I'd like to make a New Year's Resolution about driving...but I can't seem to think of a good one. I stopped eating in the car for a month this past February, so I won't use that as blog material this year. I already don't drink and drive. Well, I don't drink alcohol ever, so that's not tough to do. I use my blinker and make complete stops. My phone operates in the speaker position when I'm driving. I can't resolve for my children to behave better in the car since I don't control them. When I have so many good driving habits, it's difficult to find and fine tune the little deficiencies.
But perhaps there is something I can do to influence the atmosphere in my vehicle. I can change my stress level which has the potential to positively affect their behavior.
I think fighting is the worst out of them. And they don't do it every time I drive. Only when we're late. So I guess that's a lot of times.
In January, I will get out the door with enough time so that we arrive at our destination ten minutes early. We will experience what life is like when we're not in a rush. When there isn't pressure to get somewhere quick. Leaving early will build in extra time for the last minute emergencies that invariably pop up before we get out the door (read diaper blow outs or searching for missing shoes).
This challenge will be bigger and more grandiose than the last one. Pretty much because it's ten percent longer...aka three days since January is longer than February. Ha ha.
Wish me luck. I'm going to need it.
My new resolution: Arrive at destinations 10 minutes early.
Start date: January 1, 2012End date: January 31, 2012
Steps to accomplish the goal:
1. Keep shoe shelf organized.

2. Figure out how much time it will take to drive somewhere and add 10 minutes.
3. Get out the door early.
