Ring in the New Year! I have finally taken down my Christmas decorations (with much pleading from the Hubband) and everything is back in storage...except a few things I found AFTER we took everything under the house in our crawl space of course!
I am glad to have The Season behind us. I need a fresh start and a new year. However, I will keep one thing from the Christmas Season with me. Its my "goal" for 2009, if you will.
I am keeping: JOY
I realized just recently that I have been too serious, too stoic, and I don't laugh as much as I once did. Its just me and my kids for the greater part of my days, and why would I want my kids to remember me as totally serious and unable to play? So this year I want to enJOY my kids more. I will be JOYous and laugh more (I would rather have "laugh lines" than "scowl lines" on my face!) I have often heard that if you are doing something that you don't really want to do, to fake it...Well, I am tired of being bitchy all the time, so even if I don't feel the JOY for the day, I am going to act like it until I am truly JOYful.
I have much to be thankful for. Nothing to complain about, as most of my needs are met (there are those occasional days when a massage or frosty beverage are just out of reach!), I have a dead-sexy hubband and the cutest kids ever! There is no reason for me not to find JOY out of each day.

Well...I must say that all the time that I have seen you, talked to you, stayed the night at your house, etc. you have NEVER been bitchy! So you must be a great actress? J/K! I do know however, that you are a great mom to ALL of the kids, a great roll model for OUR daughter, and I know you do everything you can to keep your home and family together! So if that defines Bitchy, than Bitchy you are!
I love your goal for 2009, I will have to make one of my own. Unless of course it's too late!
Very good, I think I will follow your lead!
Dearest Kat,

Eirther way you are in my top 5 people I would like to be stranded with on a desert island (or dessert island)Hands down you are the most cleaver, smart is over rated, John has nothing on you.
