I am sitting here this morning wondering where the hell the last year has gone! My mother-in-law always told me that once the kids start school, the days just melt into one another. She was absolutely right! Where did 2009 go? Has my brain blocked out the last 365 days? I'm not that old yet. Should my memory really be this bad? When I think back over the last year, all I see are little snippets here and there. Maybe that's a good thing. Maybe that means 09' wasn't so bad. 2009 totally kicked 2008's ass, so maybe 2010 will be awesome!
Get out of my spot!
So, considering that all of our regular babysitting options have abandoned us for the beach, and that we really haven't enjoyed going out the last few New Years Eve nights, we are staying home this year. I'm ok with it, the hubs is ok with it, and the kids only put up a minimal protest. I took a trip to the butcher yesterday, where he proceeded to whip me up a beautiful stuffed pork roast that I will lovingly cook tonight. My sugar cookie dough is ready to be pressed into happy face cookies for dessert, and we have at least three new board games that our begging to be played. If all else fails, my comfy, caved in spot on the couch and that shiny new big screen t.v. (thanks Mom and Randy!) will fill the time very nicely.
New Years Resolutions
In the spirit of the season, I present to you a few of my New Years resolutions for 2010. (Success is not guaranteed.)
1. I resolve to not start yelling before 7:30 am. I think my kids would have to move out for this to be successful!
2. I resolve to try to not be so controlling with my husband and kids. Hey, can I help it if my way is usually the best way!?
3. I resolve to get my butt in gear and be more active. I have to resign myself to the fact that cleaning the toilets is not considered a "workout."
4. I resolve to take joy in all the little, geeky things that my children do on a daily basis. This one should be easy to keep. I love how their little minds work, and I love that they're not afraid to be silly!
5. I resolve to stop yelling at other drivers when the kids are in the car with me. I can't help it that Bakersfield is populated with a high concentration of idiotic, bad drivers!
I think I will stop now with the resolutions. I don't want to put too much pressure on myself. Have a safe and wonderful New Years Eve, and I will see you in 2010!
