Curt: To figure out how our new kitten came to rule the house. [“You can only have a cat if it stays outside….The cat can only be inside if you stay with it.…The cat can only sleep inside if it’s really cold….The cat can only sleep inside every night if it stays in the laundry room….Apparently, the cat can do anything it wants.”]
Sydna: To exercise and eat right every day. Okay, at least don’t eat as much bad stuff. Well, how about just eat and move everyday?
Krysta : To get mom and dad to let her keep her car, rather than just being able to borrow it every so often. Learning to live on your own and pay your own way is expensive. Also, to get a good grade in anatomy so she can get into the Dental Hygiene program.
Kevin : To get taller. At barely age 15 and nearly 6’2”, he has a fear of being considered short. His other goals are to continue getting straight A’s and to eat everything in site.
Erin : To help Kevin get a cell phone. This is NOT motivated by unselfish, sisterly love. She figures if he gets one before he’s 16 (which is the family rule) she’ll be able to get one at an even younger age. She also wants to keep up the straight A’s so she can have bragging rights with Kevin.
Camille : To have a room full of American Girl dolls and their accessories. (or their much less expensive equivalent) Also, she wants to continue to write and illustrate her own stories.
Rachel : To own a horse. She still doesn’t understand why we can’t keep a small pony in the backyard. If she can’t have a horse, she wants to take horse-gymnastic lessons. (Who thinks of these sports?)

Phish (the cat): To continue my reign as the Supreme Couch Queen, Ruler of All I See.
