You know how there are New Years Resolutions? Yeah, well, I am no good at those.
I'm never going to eat better, exercise more or worry less.
I love my junk, my Bow Flex is an awesome Laundry hanger and I am pretty sure worrying is part of my DNA.
My conclusion, New Years Eve Resolutions suck. No one can keep them, they just end up making you feel like a great big fat lazy failure.
Boo.
This morning, the sun came up and I had an epiphany!
I am giving up on New Years Resolutions and embracing Super Bowl Resolutions!
Things I will do differently next year:
#1) I declare that from now on I will find a cute guy on both teams to cheer for. This way no matter who wins, ModernMom is happy.
#2) I will never again try to explain to my children that the Super Bowl is just as exciting to Daddy as High School Musical 3 was to them. They don't get it. I shall find something else for them to do.
#3) I will add veggies into next years SuperBowl menu. Too many carbs. Too much glorious junk left us all feeling bloated and guilty. A couple of celery sticks would have gone a long way.
#4) I resolve that I will never again feed my dear Hubby Eggs, Nachos and Chili at the same Super Bowl Party. That combination along with his team winning left me with one content man. You know what this means? A man who is capable of farting in this sleep. *shiver
Our little SuperBowl Party was fab this year.
I repected his game, he cued me when the commercials were coming on.
With my new Super Bowl Resolutions I know next year, it will be even better.

woo hoo to awesome parties!
and is there such a thing as too many carbs? probably. the eggs, chili, nachos combo sounds so good--albeit lethal in the nasal sense, but still, so good!
Glad I'm not the only one who had a husband glued to the TV shouting and cursing!
I like your plan.
Ha ha good resolutions particularly the one to discourage farting in the night - ew

Too funny!!
MM, you're brilliant--forget New Year's resolutions! Though I must brag a bit; here it is February 8 and my New Year's resolutions are still intact. I have not yet worn pink lipstick! Yes, so very proud...
What a great idea! I always feel like I can't realistically diet from Thanksgiving through Valentine's Day. Because you know, there's always some excuse :)
Oh goodness it sounds like you had a good super bowl weekend...
lol. that would probably leave me very content as well...and almost as exciting as HSM3 lol...
You are so funny. I alway have to have some veggies...it keeps the guilt away!!!
Was the superbowl on last night?
I love explaining to the kids that daddy is just excited when yelling at the tv and he is exempt to yelling in the house on Superbowl Sunday.
LOL I love it.
The gas can go though. HA
great!!!
love this post!!!
HA! i love your plan!
maybe next year i'll actually watch the game. with these goals it might be enjoyable ;)
Good idea, I suck at New Years resolutions as well..
Next year I'm not working on SuperBowl Sunday
I am not into superbowl football too much either
your comment about the bow flex is a laundry hangar made me laugh. thats probably what it would end up being in my house too.
Oh, #4 is so important to change so his #2 doesn't force you to call the # 911...
Wait, what number do you call in an emergency, eh?
That is why I have my own duvet, thankyouverymuch! No husband dutch oven for me :-D
Mmm carbs... sounds pretty awesome... why mess up a good thing with celery sticks? C'mon, eat salad the day after but a party is a partaaay! And farts are part of the inevitable.
So funny. What is it with men doing that in their sleep?? Since I was lying awake sick all night from the cold my husband passed on to me....well you know what I heard!!! We had nachos, chicken quesadillas, and brownies with peanut butter frosting. Now that I write that out...I realize it was not a great combo for a gasless hubby...
Glad to know I'm not the only woman suffering out here alone...lol.
excellent plan. and totally agree on the non-menu plan. good call.
ok seriously. You could have rolled my fat butt right out of the party we attended. And I even added a few carrots in. Trust, it did NOT go a long way.
Genius! :-D
Love your resolutions. You have me laughing pretty loud! I am a person filled with allot of gas and it just makes me laugh.
This is BRILLIANT!
This is a farting emergency!!
Our house the rules are: no farting in the same room as the other person--outside is best, any kind of weather-get outside!
No farting in the car. Wait a few minutes after farting before you get in the car with another person.
Not asking too much!
Farts=forget about sex!

Great resolutions! I am sure next year's Superbowl will be the best ever for you! :)
Hey, carbs are perfect for a super bowl party. It's only once a year.
Well if he waits till he's asleep to fart, consider yourself lucky. Plan ahead next time (this is your #5) to make him sleep on the couch when the game is over.
Love the SB resolution idea. Forget the actual game, Im just all about the commercials!
That is a great idea!!!!
I love it. Excellent idea! And your so right about the new years resolutions- who needs em!
so looking forward to having the super bowl next year, such an American tradition.
Haha, love it! I like this plan.
What kind of eggs did you fix? ..My hunny farts in his sleep too. Yuck!! Glad you enjoyed the Superbowl!!
I choose teams, and entire sports, based on the cuteness of the players. This is pretty much the sole reason I love hockey. Yay cute Canadian guys!
You may want to invest in some air freshener, just in case you forget some of those resolutions.
Whoa, Suburban hubby digestion sounds lethal. Good thing there is no smellovision over the internets.
Yes I think I over did the food combinations here too. Mr. Peach Tart was the fart king all Sunday night.
#4 makes me thankful that Hubs passes out on the couch most nights. I leave him there till morning.
Great resolutions! I like the way you think.
Wanna be jealous that there is rarely football in this house? He gets most of it at work and isn't THAT huge of a fan anyway. This house will never see a superbowl party. But I would also recommend no eggs. I don't think I have ever met a man that can handle eggs.
