Resolution Resolve

E & I are in bed napping. K is at daycare. J is at work.
The whole house is quiet.
And I really should be doing something productive. But I'm not. I'm here. Chatting with whoever will read this. Someday.
January 5th seems so close to new years - and somehow, I feel like it has been an eternity. And I still haven't decided on any resolutions. I've been reading a lot on other blogs about having a "year" word. Since I have resolved to NOT have any resolutions this year, a year word seems appropriate. And it's kind of a strange one.

Safe.

Yep. I want to be safe. I mean, I know I can't be protected, or protect my kids from EVERYTHING, but I think it's reasonable to be protected against the things you can. So this year, I will work on the safety of myself and my family. This includes having an emergency kit (with a fire extinguisher) in the car. This means having those safety ladders to get out of the second floor should there ever be a fire. This means having our fireplace redone so that we don't have this useless hunk of brick in our living room for fear of being gassed to death. This means creating a safe place for my kids to play in the basement where all their toys are easily accessible, and away from all the big people toys (like drills, and saws and stuff). This means having our water assessed. And the air in our house. And maybe even the walls. This also means having a rockin' garden again this year without any chemicals. And sticking as much as possible to a 100 mile diet, so we KNOW where our food comes from and what is in it.

Does anyone else have a year word they want to share?
