It is my our second New Years Eve with our sweet Sethie. This year found us in all sorts of new situations: new jobs for Josh, Seth's first birthday, a summer and fall vacation with a one year old! a car accident and a toddler Christmas which was so fun to watch.
2010 had more lows than highs for our family which I am ready to put behind us and move forward to 2011 which should be full of promising new adventures. I'm not sure what we will be doing career wise. My dreams of being a stay at home mom are on hold for now and I think I have to just live in the reality that we have and focus on all the quality time I have with Seth. The big what-if for us is where Josh will be for full time employment, but I know he is down the right path for him now and it will all settle out this year.
My goals for this year are to lose a bit of baby weight, tackle a few home projects (laundry room and bathroom paint jobs) and catch up on my scrapbooking which has been sorely neglected. I think now that Seth is more self sufficient, I can lay out a project on the kitchen table and work away while he plays. Perhaps not ideal but at least I can get something done.
Tonight we are at Chianti's with my parents for dinner and then over to their house to ring in the New Year watching 'Date Night' and drinking red wine. Not glamorous but then again, nothing as a parent really is.
May 2011 be the best year yet!
