New Year's Eve & Resolutions
I thought I'd make one last post before the new year. I've been thinking a lot about the past year, the good times and the bad. I have also been very thoughtful about my resolutions this year and I have come up with three. Three seems to be my magic/lucky number (as well as my OCD number). So here they are:
1.GET ORGANIZED! I have gotten a bit of a head start on this one. I stumbled upon my friend Joy's blog. If you don't know Joy, she is famous for being the organizational guru in our ward. Her tips are fabulous! I have been taking her up on some of her challenges. I need to make my life a bit easier by getting organized. Here are some of my baby steps:

Check out her blog Just Organize Yourself. She's doing a give away for the New Year.Lots of good stuff there!
#2 Lose the last of that baby fat. Jack is 16 months now. Enough said!
#3 Do everything I can to support (not find) my husband a new job. He still has his pre-Bachelor's degree job and he has a bit of a wait to get the call for the fire academy. I've had a poopy attitude about this predicament lately and a bit resentful towards him and it's unfair. Those who know me know that I try to solve everything myself and I try not to depend on others. I think the big guy upstairs may be trying to teach me something. I need to have a little bit more faith that Heavenly Father will open the door for Damian when the time is right and that will allow me to be home more with the kids.
I've just realized that I've got a bunch of party poopers tonight. The kids fell asleep in the front room while watching The Disney Channel and Damian is in the lazyboy with the baby. Oh well, I'll just give them a little kiss at midnight :0) In just a few minutes it will be a new year, a fresh start. I hope to find joy in the journey of 2009. I hope the same for you also.

For some reason I have such a hard time picturing you being anything other than perfectly organized with all you are able to balance!! Thanks for the link to Joy's blog, too ... will be referring to that one OFTEN to get my own organizing pulled together! Here's to a wonderful 2009 - hopefully we'll get to meet this year!
Nice Mommy binder! I have a Mommy space, on my compy desk, not as pretty...Maybe I should organize it better. My New Year's wasn't much better, the kids watched a movie, Eric played his video game for a bit, and I scrapbooked with Alicia. The boys crashed at their "slumber party" (I'll explain that one on my blog) and I heard Eric snoring by 11:00 pm. Alicia and I were up until midnight to watch the ball drop, and laughed at the freezing cold people trying to kiss each other. When you have kids, New Year's just isn't the same...plus who am I going to get to watch the kids, when there was a an adult dance at the stake center for 14 and up! All the babysitters would be at the dance!
