Happy New Year!

Where did 2008 go? Where did 2000 go? Doesn't it seem like we were just doing the Y2K thing? This whole decade has just flown! I know that old people say that time goes faster the older you get, and I'm pretty worried about that. I can hardly keep track of it now....and I'm still young. 30 is "young" right? I'm not ready to be middle aged yet, but considering how fast decades move around here I'll be there before I know it.

My resolutions and hopes for the new year go something like this:

-to enjoy the little moments (reading stories at the drop of a hat, making up songs, hearing Joshua say "You're my very, VERY, very best girl, mom") and get past the OTHER kind of moments (like Joshua pulling the fire alarm, or Kaylee smearing Crisco all over the floor, tripping on the millions of toys in my living room)

-to be purposeful in spending time with friends by planning it out on the calendar

- to borrow loads of books from the library for me and the kids

-to be more creative and consistent in preparing meals

-lose some stinkin weight

-to find ways to be more "green" and environmentally responsible
