How do I know 2010 is going to be different than 2009. Most importantly, I will not be pregnant or giving birth. I will not have to even worry about getting pregnant (Jamie got a vasectomy right after Pierce was born). What a relief!
Second, our tax rebate is going to increase from last year with another added dependent....woohoo!!!! Jamie and I are going on a mini vacation. Well, more like a local getaway to a hotel for some much need R&R. If we have the energy we will probably throw in a Mavs game and treat ourselves to overpriced food at a couple of fancy restaurants. I think we deserve it. Who know, we may get really wild and crazy and go to a movie...haha. Oh how things have changed in such a short time. I wouldn't have it any other way.
Third, both my sisters are getting married. The kids will get 2 new uncles this year! Good thing the girls already just adore them both! We are so excited for both of them. I think it is time for the kids to have some cousins!
Fourth, I will be drinking this year on New Year's Eve!!!!! And, staying up past the ball drop.
Things I will HAVE to do in 2010:
~potty-train Reagan (fun times...insert huge amounts of sarcasm)
~teach Pierce how to self soothe and sleep in his crib (probably going to be the hardest thing I will do in 2010 because most likely I am going to have to let him cry-it-out)
~send Reagan to MDO - I can't wait! I won't know what to do with just Pierce...shopping sounds good. No, better yet - SLEEP!
~somehow figure out how to take all three kiddos to the neighborhood pool in the summer
~baby proof the house
~find more ME time or I WILL go insane
~have more date nights or Jamie and I will forget that we once knew how to have fun together
Things I HOPE will happen in 2010:
~Pierce's reflux will resolve itself
~Emerson's doctors will gain wisdom and figure out the source of her illness - my ONLY Christmas wish this year
~establish more routine and better sleep schedules for everyone
~I will miraculously wake up one morning with the motivation and skill to become a good cook
~a special mommy and Emmy trip to San Antonio to visit my grandparents and go to Sea Worl
~have time to finish decorating the kids' rooms
~frame and find places for the professional pictures taken over the last year
~win the lottery - gosh, these kids are expensive!
I hope everyone has a great Christmas! I am definitely grateful for my 3 perfect blessings this holiday season. I predict 2010 is going to be filled with lots of joy! Just watching my children grow and learn and love is pure happiness.
Wow, our to-do list's for 2010 are so similar! Potty training, date nights, more me time, framing pictures (there is a huge pile in my office - so sad) .... and then some!
ReplyDeleteSeriously, let's get together with the kiddos soon! Merry Christmas!
