Finding My Way

Ok...so my month of reflecting and journalling each day didn't go so well.  I should be used to that by now, making a plan with great intentions only to have reality (in this case sick kids, work, Christmas) get in the way.  I made it up to Dec.13, not bad I guess.  Truth is when I look back and think about all the things that took up my time in December, the only thing I would change would be the getting sick part...that flu was nasty and taking over my life for 2 weeks in the middle of birthdays and Christmas stuff was really not fair...the rest was my life.  Good or bad, that is my life with 3 kids, a husband, 2 sets of parents that aren't getting younger and a career that I want to do really good at.  My life is not neat and orderly, it is not nicely decorated or even clean sometimes!  But, it is full of love.  And I really wouldn't change a thing.   Well, if I am really being honest and had a magic wand I guess I would happily say good-bye to the dust that floats around my house and another bathroom would be nice!
My plan for 2011 is to be real and honest....use this blog to tell the truth about my life, focus on gratitude and clean out under my desk.  Then when I can sit at the desk I will set some new goals.
Today we will enjoy the last day of our break...tomorrow I will need to set the alarm and get everyone ready to re-enter the real world.  We will say good-bye to late nights, movie parties, Scrabble and cards, sleeping in and eating crazy amounts of junk food.   Bring on the lunches, homework, bedtimes and driving around to activities.

Cheers to wonderful day!
