Happy 2012. Hopefully you are reading this while still hungover from partying on New Year's Eve, but I'm guessing you are not as New Year's Eve is notorious for being underwhelming. Once I had kids I stopped even attempting to plan an exciting New Year's Eve. So instead I stay up to see how uncomfortable I will feel by watching Dick Clark try to count backwards from 20. This year I almost turned the channel, but am morbid enough that I had to watch.
As the year came to a close, of course, I started thinking about what resolutions I was going to make. Eat better. Work out more. Kick some vices. Be more attentive and patient with the people in my life. Work with my children on their development more. Keep a cleaner house. I could go on and on. However, after thinking about it a little more I decided I needed to think bigger and better. And that's when I thought of the biggest and the best....ME! Okay, so maybe I should still add something in there about weight loss.
Regardless, the #1 resolution is to give myself time away from those I love most in this world so that I can love them better when I am around them. As much as I'd like this to take the form of travel, I'd say it is more likely to be evenings out with friends or even by myself to just escape my children for a few hours. They are cute little suckers, but I think they might be trying to smother me with their love. I guess I can't blame them. I am pretty awesome. If I were them, I'd want to be around me. Heck - I am me and I want to be around me.
Also, I resolve to be a more active blogger. So you will be hearing a lot more from me in 2012.
Fuck, that makes me feel old typing 2012.
