As I sit here on this last day of the year, I look back not only on the year, but the decade that has passed. When I look back on my life I do so in decades. The 70's where my childhood, the 80's my teen years, 90's where my working girl and newlywed years, this last decade though has been motherhood. I think that being a mom has been the most wonderful and the most challenging of my life. Most days I wish I could go back and change the way I did everything. Do most mom's second guess everything they do. But then we go to a friends house or I pick someone up from a friends house and the parents gush about how nice my children are to each other. If I am proud of one thing it is their commitment to each other and this family.
So what will the next decade bring us. I am entering a new adventure of teenagehood!!! My biggest concern is the electronics that have been creeping into our lives over the past year. My husbands cousin was shocked to hear that we had never had a video game in our house. The kids had never asked for one and we did not want them sitting around all day playing it. This year we did get a Wii. I can proudly say that the first two days were spent playing it, but it has begun to lose its delight. More time has been spent outside playing in the snow.
So what are my resolutions for 2011! Light and color are the themes to 2011. Adding more color to my life, in my house, and into my food!!! Lighten up my house by removing all the clutter!
Happy New Year You
