2011 Year in Review

2011 Year in review.

You that are reading this, obviously made it through another year. Yeah you, yeah me! Here are some of the things I learned from 2011.

It's ok not to do something...say no and not feel like shit for saying no, then saying yes.

My kids can live without me...sadly
I can be ok without my daddy.

My sister always has my back.
I can't live without my family.
My mom still takes care of me and I love that.
I am not skinny and never will be.

I need to fire my hair stylist and stop feeling sorry for her for not having customers.
I want to start a new business and this time really do it.

There are many more I know. Here are my son's goals for this year.

Go to school.

Get the newest PS3 game as soon as it comes out.
Maybe take a bath more often

Simple enough. 

I had this old recipe book from when I was probably 6 or 7. Same age as my sweet Levi.  As I was going through the pages I came across this little note I had scribbled on paper in a bright purple marker. Maybe a new year had just started, but this is what I wrote:

What I like/ love

Love is fun. Love is having a friend. Love is grandmother. Love is your mom. Love is a dad. Love is a sister. Love is a cat or dog. Love is watching TV. Love is jumping on a bed. Love is a flower. Love is a cookie. Love is a party.  Love is people and God. Most of all love is you.

So I get to look at a little sliver of myself and what was going through my head at that age. I was in love with my family and cookies. Some things never change.  Little did I know just how much in love I would stay with them, and how much more love I would have for my boys and husband.  Oh and cookies. And TV.

Now I welcome 2012 with a positive attitude and new hopes and goals. I am going to keep it simple.

Maybe exercise more.

Watch a little less Housewives.

The rest  I'll just have to wing...

Happy New Years everyone!! My goal for this year will be to post pictures of all my past, current, and future projects. I will be better at blogging. I will be better at posting things. I will I will!
