I don't do New Year's resolutions. I'm just setting myself up for personal failure and disappointment, because so much changes in my life in the course of any year, my resolve changes also. I do like to have a round of introspection at the beginning of a new year, to count my blessings, and think about what I am looking forward to this year.
Y'all, I graduate on May 15th. Last fall completed all my night class requirements--I shall never spend three hours at dinnertime in a classroom twice a week again! I'm so looking forward to cooking dinner, being home to put the boys to bed, going to the gym after work, and not collapsing in sobs from exhaustion on a montly basis. (This leads me to something I am not looking forward to, and that is the tens of thousands of dollars in student loans I will begin paying at the end of this year. Actually, the first note should be due just in time for Christmas.)
After May 15th, I'm not taking on any more projects. We've decided not to buy a house or have a baby until after deployment, which is slated for 2010. So I'm going to spend the rest of 2009 working, being a better friend, wife and stepmother. And practice my culinary skills.
I have faith that 2009 is the year of my mother's improved health and mobility. She's started with a new doctor in Dallas who specializes in intrusions of the spine.
Most of all, I'm looking forward to my hair growing back. My short hair is cute and fun, but man, I miss my mane.
