The facts of 2009 !

You take the good you take the bad you take em both and there you had 2009 ! 2009 !
There's a time you gotta go and show you're growin' now you're ready for twenty ten, for twenty ten.
When the world never seems to be livin' up to your dreams, and suddenly you're findin out 2009 is gone without you, you.
It takes a lot to get it right, but the future sure is lookin bright.  The future sure is lookin bright.

My goals for twenty ten.    I don't think I'll ever say two thousand ten...I like twenty ten much better.

-Be more positive.   I have created bad habits through self preservation.   If someone teased me or made a bad joke at my expense I found that jumping the gun or going along with the negative comment was the best way to get the person to stop.     It's not fun to tease someone who isn't bothered or surprised by the tactic.
I was super sensitive and this helped me growing up.  Now I really don't care.
Thing is, I do this with my children.   I will be the first to focus on their negative behavior, faults....even possible weaknesses.  
I wanted the people around me to know that I recognized this in my children.   That they didn't need to be concerned for my ignorance or lack of trying.   That I was well aware of the problem and was not happy about it either. 
Sick right ?
I don't want to be that kind of a mother.  I want to be the mom who sees no faults in her children.  Whether I recognize them or not....they are perfect in my eyes.  And they are.  perfect.  (see how well I'm doing already)
On that same line : Judge not yet ye be judged. 
I always feel SO judged by what others think of my family.  My kids.
I find myself getting so worked up about what I THINK others are thinking about how my children are behaving.   It has ruined so many experiences that I could have relaxed and enjoyed more.   
I have to realize that all kids are different and mine are more spirited at times.  They are learning and growing and if I stay consistent and show a good example....they will grow up to be loving and caring people. 
There is good and there is bad but life is what we choose it to be.  If I choose to focus on the good...life is good...or at least better.

The long run.  This year will be working on chores and lists and preparing.  Staying ahead of the game always makes life easier in the long run. 

I will try to give us much thought and attention to my boys learning as I was with Syd.  

I know what you are thinking.  oh gawd.  with no bitching what will you ever have to blog about.  
This blog will be my outlet.  My quiet place to put down all of the things that I can't say out loud. 
and also a place to keep track of the funny stories in my life.  Like the one where Syd performed a C-section on her brother with his jigsaw.   She had his legs up ready for him to push and then reached through, told him "this is gonna hurt real bad buddy....are you ready"  and quickly pulled the saw across his stomach and said, "look....it's your newborn baby." presenting him with Ryan who proceeded to slap Spencer on the belly, giggle and run away.
These things need to be remembered.  because in 20 years I won't remember if my own children were born C-section let alone the funny shit they said and did in twenty ten.

Then of course is the goal to eat healthier, shower more often, exercise....get my boys to eat fruits and vegetables and end global warming.

Here's to twenty ten !
