My life has certainly changed since the 1980s and 1990s. I'm a (gasp!) grown-up now. I have a few gray hairs and some crinkles around my eyes. I'm a wife and a mom. A mom to a kid who is going to turn three this year. I've been out of college for twelve years.
Woah.
Since it is that resolution time of year, I took a moment to think about my hopes and dreams for 2011.
- I hope for even more inspiring progress by my sis-in-law. May she continue her road to independence and good health.
- I have dreams of more family fun time and less anxiety in 2011. For myself and especially my overworked (awesome) husband.
- I hope to hang out with my grandma again in 2011. She's a loving, spunky 99-year-old. She's a 10-hour drive away, and totally worth it.
- I hope to have a fully potty-trained child by summer. And not just tinkles.. the stinky ones too.
- I dream of the sparkle in Amelia's bright blue eyes as she experiences Disney World for the first time.
- I hope for perfect spring weather when it's time for her 3rd birthday - and the party weekend to celebrate.
- I dream of some oceanside fun, nourishing (and gut-busting) holiday meals, and the return of the magic and sparkle of Christmas. December 2010 was amazing. I can't wait to do it all again.
