'Tis a New Year

Even though I am very upset about the situation I have been in for the past few weeks, I am trying not to let it ruin my New Year. But, on the 2nd day of this new year, there will be a baby shower without me in attendance. Boy is it hard not to let that ruin all the good things that are coming my way. As I wrote yesterday, I must not let the things I CAN'T control stress or frustrate me. So, this is my number 1 goal/resolution for 2011. Just to make it official:

1. I will not let things I can't control stress or frustrate me, and regain control of the things I can.

Mark my word. I said it. I will try my hardest to make sure this resolution is fullfilled until December 31, 2011. Hopefully, by then, I won't need to make resolutions about frustration or stress.

My second resolution is all about my daughter. She is number 1 and top priority from this point on. I know it won't be hard to give up my freedom for her sake because she is already the light of my life, but I am sure it will bring on some challenges in the New Year. I am speaking of less sleep, less time to myself, less time with my husband, and less time doing things I want to do.

2. Make my daughter top priority and show her unconditional love for the rest of her life.

Now, what would a new year be without mentioning something about my husband, my soulmate, and my best friend. This past year (or atleast half of it) was mostly about the pregnancy and getting used to the idea of having a newborn in our lives. We didn't get to spend as much time as we would have liked just talking about the two of us. However, we did manage to sneak in a few date nights toward the end of this year. Probably because we realized those nights were slowly dwindling down to being nonexistent.

3. Have a date night with my husband atleast once a month if not more. Even if that means curling up on the couch to watch a movie together...alone. *This may require a babysitter...any takers?

I think having 3 resolutions is good enough. Having anymore would get confusing and difficult. I really need to concentrate on number 1, because that is the thing most affecting my life right now.

Happy New Year!
