Goals, changes, resolutions...something like that.
1~ Stop assuming it's about me.
2~ No more calling Tom and asking him to bring home dinner.
3~ No cussing in front of my babes. They don't need the stress it brings.
4~ Assume the best.
5~ Floss daily.
6~ Move everyday...exercise.
7~ Defer to Tom's opinion. Even if I don't agree.
8~ Cut a lot of sugar. Cancer loves sugar. Shit that is scary!
9~ React in kindness and with patience.
10~ Live in the moment!
Here's to one day at a time.

Changes from '09-'10
I found the post from last year at this time, and thought I would review it as it compares to the changes I would like to make for '11.
And for being all about change, I don't seem to get a lot of it done.
Here we go, here we go...
1~ Stop assuming everyone is JUDGING me. Did I already say that?
I was more comfortable in my own skin this year, and outside of a few ugly moments, I did a better job of assuming things are about me. This is definitely an on-going work in progress, so add it to the list for next year!
2~ No more calling Tom and asking him to bring home dinner.
Yikes, FAIL! My new kitchen will surely motivate me a bit more. Add this one too.
3~ No cussing at people, EVER.
Yikes, another FAIL. This is an important one, and I am ready to embrace it still/again.
4~ Assume the best.
Again, my esteem has so much to do with this. This gets easier all the time. Not easy...but easier.
5~ Wash face and use a deep moisture cream several nights a week. (see that...realistic, there is no way I could do it every night.) I did this one! Yay!
6~ If some thing's gotta give, it's computer time.
This wasn't consistent, but a slight improvement was made. I better add it to '11.
7~ Defer to Tom's opinion. Even if I don't agree.
Another WIN! I have gotten much better at this. It's a bit of a struggle as a strong opinionated woman, but I have improved!
8~ Cut a lot of sugar. Cancer loves sugar. Shit that is scary!
This is interesting. Do you suppose by making this a goal, I called in the gestational diabetes? Hmmm. I will add this to the list again for next year, but mainly stay away from high fructose corn syrup as a way to make it more realistic for me.
9~ React in kindness and with patience.
Always going to be a work in progress. Patience is a virtue for a reason. Add it to next year.
10~ Cherish the now and continue to "roll with it".
I have been framing this up a bit differently lately. "Live in the Moment". The present is a gift kind of a thing. It's also going to be a life long goal.

Struggling...
As 2010 comes to an end, I have to say, it's been a ROCKIN' year. Sooo many wonderful blessings have come our way, and we are preparing to welcome our sweet baby boy.
The pregnancy hasn't been the easiest I've had, and while nothing is worth truly crying about, I am having a rough go of it this evening. I better back up and tell you, I have been on bed-rest for the two weeks. I haven't been chatty about it on fb, mostly because I am not interested in any one's opinions. There are a contingency of people that weren't thrilled with my having a fourth child. Not that I am sure what business it is of theirs, I just don't want to get into it with them.
Bed-rest sucks! If you told the average person, "yay, you get to take the next 6-8 weeks off, to lay in bed and be waited on," they would probably kiss you. However, after doing it for a second time, it is anything but great. I have miles of lists I would like to accomplish, my house is in an awful disarray, I am at everyone elses mercy for schedule and food, my hubby is hot/cold about helping and all anybody can say is, "oh the end result is so worth it." Right, I get that. That's why I'm still in bed. But for the love of all that is good and green stop telling me to just relax and enjoy it. I understand that I am not dealing from center...I have more raging hormones then a lady elephant and I feel down.
I work hard to keep the emotions and tears at bay, so I don't stuck into a pit of despair. Tonight I needed to vent.
As 2010 comes to an end, I am going to sulk and get it out of my system. 2011 can be even brighter.
Here's the visual~ stretch marks and all.
