2010
Welcome to 2010. I say it every year, but it feels remarkably like last year, yo. I'm squeezing in a few minutes of blogging while my daughter plays with her new 'activity table' and my younger boy enjoys some Backyardigans action.
I'd like to say that I've got grand plans for 2010, but I think I'll be content if I can just hang in there while Becky gets her empire off the ground. I'm struggling a lot with how my work life is changing -- I'm not entirely sure I'm comfortable with where things are headed.
I'm thrilled that my family is complete; my baby girl turns the big ONE this year and hopefully by the end of the year she'll be the only one in diapers. My boys are as hilarious as ever and they bring me more smiles than I can handle.
This year I think I need to focus on getting back on top of ME. I have been working nonstop and when I get home taking care of my family and squeezing in time to take care of me only as an afterthought. I think I need to reorganize that -- I'm feeling unfulfilled and isolated lately, and it's not because anyone is forcing me to be that way, it's just how I'm handling the situation I'm in. But I'm finding it difficult to get started on making the changes, because putting myself first is something I just don't really know how to do. It makes me feel guilty.
So here we go. One foot in front of the other, right?
