.....Or is that just me????
Life sometimes feels so incredibly overwhelming, I have a 3yr old who is a one person demolition crew. A 7yr old who is about to complete grade 1 and go on 6 weeks of School Holidays. AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Where has the year gone?? This was meant to be my year, the year I was going to make sweeping changes, the year I was going to remember as a watershed year for the rest of my life, well the year is almost gone and I feel like I am where I was 12mths ago.
I am disappointed, not that good thing haven't happened this year and shifts have occurred. I am disappointed in myself. I look back at all the challenges that were set to me and all the places I have ran away. But you know what there is always the next 12mths, and the next and the next.
I am setting myself some minor challenges in the next few weeks, before the silly season gets any sillier.
I am currently 15 weeks pregnant with child number three. This pregnancy so far has been one of ups and downs. I have used this as an excuse to be lazy, hide my head in the sand and do nothing!! I have really been a flake. My children and Husband have had a lot to put up with. I need to get this chaos into some kind of order. I need to be far more organised otherwise i will never cope with having 3 kids (ahh what a scary thought). So i am vowing that some where in the next 4 weeks before Christmas actually gets here I will clean my house, decorate and put up a beautiful (real not fake much to my husbands disgust) Christmas tree.
I will keep you posted on how that all goes.

Oh On a lighter note my brother decided to get my name tattooed across the side of his hand today. My 3yr old asked about it and then delighted in telling me that "You have a name on Uncle Joel's arm" I thought this was rather cute. My 7yr old fully expects to see her name tattooed somewhere now.

Nice job. I do remember talking about all this at the start of the year. Self reflection is hard sometimes isn't it? But it is good for us in the end hey.
don't worry; I have had some of the same new years resolutions for the last 13 years, namely 'this year I will get fit.' Ha!
Agree with what Bec says; I have started to view disappointment as an opportunity to change something; either myself or my expectation of myself. Hard call sometimes, but beats the alternative (wallowing on the couch with a block of chocolate, convinced that my world is over, which is my natural tendency hehe)
love your honesty xox
