2012, Here We Come

[Cadaverous Pallor]

I couldn't help but look.

I did do more visiting with people in 2011. GD helps push us in that direction.

I did put one costume for sale on Etsy. It didn't sell, but I did sell a special order, and I have high hopes for next year, now that I have the materials ready. I'm also indulging my creative side for other projects.

I use a lot of tools in my parenting kit, including Patience, Playfulness, Optimism, Joy...and they need sharpening constantly. I resolve to keep smiling amidst hard days because he deserves the best mom I can be.

Honestly, these last 6 months have been very trying for me, and it seems my tools have grown mostly dull. I've been feeling irritated and selfish in the face of Theo's growing demands and stubbornness. To put it simply, this is Hard, and I RESOLVE to be better, for all of our sakes.

I want my house to be cleaner. Theo is actually surprisingly good about cleaning up. I resolve to exploit his good example to inspire me to be more thorough. He teaches me so much...

How did you do this year? What's on the list for 2012? Before the world ends, at least.
