Well, It is Jan 2, 2012! :) According to some, the world will end Dec 21, 2012! My birthday is 12/12/12 this year, so I am going to PARTAY! LOL
We ended 2011 with a bang, our church had called a new pastor who gave AMAZING messages, and he was ready to dig in and help grow the church. Well, after 2 months he decided he was unable to implement the changes he was hoping for so quickly, and left. :( Of course there was some drama leading up to it, so it made for a really rough week before Christmas. The kids were behaving like NUTS and so they almost didn't get Santa or parent gifts! They straightened out enough in 2 days that they were able to get a good bit of what was planned for them. I have homework, I have a good bit of it done, but still have 2.5 chapters to read.... AND we joined the YMCA Dec 30th! :) Yay! another thing on my plate!
Well, I have figured out (after sleeping for 3 days straight , I am figuring it was due to exhaustion) that I need to cut back on some things, so that I can focus on what is most important. I started that with quitting one of my jobs, and probably will quit the other one so I can focus on schoolwork while the kids are at school. I want their time with me to be quality, so it has been really hard for me to focus even a bit on schoolwork while they have been on break! I never did watch the 8.5 hrs of videos we were supposed to! Other things may have to go as well, we will just see. I have noticed the last couple months I am just antsy all the time, worried about where we are supposed to be next, when, whom are we picking up, etc, and if we don't have anything to do I have a dreaded feeling I am forgetting something! I need to stop living like this! I am supposed to be living with joy, not dread. This year that is my focus.
Which brings me to my resolutions. I decided to keep it simple this year, and just focus on 3 (but they're big ones!)
1. Focus on my school work
2. focus on my house ( household and family)
3. focus on my health.
Today my oldest and I have to go work a Vandy game so we can put money in her Fair Share account. I think this will be the last one I do, as it is has severely dipped into my studying/health/family time. Everyone is at the Y today- except me! :( I have put off doing my studying, and now I have to pay for it! yuck. I hate having to be responsible! We have to leave in 2 hrs or less to get to her school, so I will be going to pick her up soon.....
The tips of my ring and somewhat my middle finger have felt like for about 2 weeks now that I burnt them on something, but the sensation isn't going away, and my skin isn't peeling in that area. Will have to have that checked out..... from what I can tell it can be as benign as a tweaked nerve from the elbow, to carpel tunnel, to MS. Will keep an eye on it, and if it really starts to bug me, I will go in just for that, but hoping for another reason so I don't look like a goof! ;)
Well, that's my update for today..... would love to hear what your resolutions are going to be!
