Instead, I'll share the top 10 things that made me happy in January:
1. I now have a clean, and stylish lounge room filled with gorgeous photos of our family. - thanks to my good friend Catherine for the many hours of holding frames up and redesigning me!!
2. In January alone, I have already completed 2 double layouts and 5 single pages - I'm scrapbooking mad at the moment!
3. We held our young women's planning sleepover and have the years' activities set.
4. I finally got to the bottom of Hayden's ongoing disgusting bowel motions, and fixed it.
5. I have finally come to terms with Hayden's official status of being 'underweight'. I'm not doing anything wrong and he is healthy!! Thanks Dr Forbes.
6. Lazy afternoons spent with family.
7. I haven't changed wet sheets after naptime for the whole month (I think....)
8. Swimming at Southbank - boy, I can't get enough of that place!
9. Realising I have some very special friends who love me!
10. hmmm....... I can't think.. But I must admit that I've had a delightful time with my children this month. One of my mummy goals this year is to spend more one-on-one time with each of them. I've made a special effort to do something special with each of them while the other is sleeping. This takes hard work, but it's been very rewarding.
I'm excited for 2009. The boys are growing far too quickly. I cannot believe Lachlan is a sunbeam.... It makes me a little sad to see him growing into a big boy already, but it's also great fun. He's got a sense of humour now and he has great conversations and uses the funniest adult-words. "What was your conversation with your friend about Mum?" hahaha He loves his own company and has the funniest dialogues going on with his toys. If he would just stop talking at dinner time...
Hayden is.................. well lots of things like adventurous, happy, whingey, destructive, into everything, but mostly.............. just FAR too cute for his own good! And boy does he know how cute he is and use it to his advantage.
As for me - I have many goals this year, but if I only achieve one, it's that I can learn to keep calm and reign in that ugly temper. It's a work in progress and some days I do so well only to unravel at 6pm.. Changing our weaknesses keeps life interesting I guess!
