With the big gift-giving bonanza behind us, chances are you’ve got a lot more baby gear in your house than you did two weeks ago. Hopefully by now, instruction manuals have been read (hah!), appropriate batteries found, and every toy or item of clothing tried out or tried on. Your child now has the must-have item of Christmas 2005 and is happily at work destroying it. You can rest in the knowledge that it’ll take him at least a couple weeks to bring it to a state of dangerously worn out.
What happens, though, if you’ve unknowingly got a defective toy or new stroller? What if you do everything right – supervise the use, read the instructions – but the product itself is inherently bad? How will you find out?

As everyone begins to scramble for that pad of paper, intent on making the noble, self-improving list needed to start your year off right, remind yourself of last year’s list and how long it lasted. What does it say about us, that we constantly feel the need to re-evaluate who we are and how we’re doing and, deciding we’re lacking, come up with some grand and totally unrealistic plan to completely change ourselves, save a ton of money, and save the world all at the same time? Are we really such a disappointment to ourselves?
This year, make a realistic list of resolutions. Give yourself small goals you can actually keep, and make sure they’re not important enough that you hate yourself when you don’t keep them (and you won’t.)
I’ll start.

As a performer earlier in life, I’ve certainly done my fair share of crappy dinner theatre: singing and dancing my way across the stage, taking care not to slip on a stray piece of lettuce – good times. I never thought it would be necessary training for becoming a mommy.
