Is it really worth missing all the little things that make life what it is in hopes for that one day, some day big dream come true?
So how was your 2010? All the usual ups and downs on the roller coaster of life, but better that than watching from the sidelines, right?
I know we’re beyond resolutions, but do you have any goals for the coming new year? Mine is to generally not freak out until I want to puke over stupid little things. That and to incorporate more curry into my life because it tastes so good.
I know Christmas has already visited us, but I’m itching for one of these.
What I’m loving right now is how Beau randomly asks me “Are you my friend.” I’m his bestest. Ever.
Question for any of my readers who have been pregnant…(no I’m not) How long did it take for your hair to return to its pre-pregnancy state? Before I had Beau my hair was curly. Not wavy. Curly. Ever since his arrival it has been straight with a wave or two thrown in on a humid day. He’s going on 3 1/2. Am I ever getting my curly hair back?
I’m so bad at waiting.
Right now I have this sneaky suspicion that things are working against me, and that I am the cause. I’m trying to turn it all around in my head and my heart.
The truth of the matter is that my insides (mental, physical, and emotional) are a jumble of frustration, jealousy, gratitude, awe, insecurity, security, a tinge of sadness, and so many other things that I can’t define. And things I don’t want to face.
It’s a wonder when a veil of peace settles over you all of a sudden. When you realize, yet again, that all is well and life is good.
Happy last Monday of 2010.
P.S. – Remember when everyone was freaking out when the calendar turned to 2000 and nothing happened? Funny.

I understand this so well. There have been many times when I thought I was on a self-destructive warpath. Somewhere along the way in the last couple of years, I turned it around. I’m not sure when it happened, but I think it has something to do with my discovery of magical thinking (or putting good energy out into the universe and getting good energy back – it sounds new age-y, but it works for me).

My hair has never been the same after kids….the texture didn’t change but my color did. I used to have this amazing blonde color that was perfectly natural, oh how I’d love that color again. My hair got a bit darker with each baby. Weird.
My insides are going through similar feelings, angst and awe, panic and praise. It’s normal right? Please tell me it’s normal.
I really can’t believe Saturday is 2011. 2011!!! I remember being a kid and thinking I’ll be 35 when it’s 2000. Wasn’t that just last year?

I tell my grown kids still that I am the best friend they will ever have. I will always have their back, I will always tell them the truth, I will always be there for them. But then, too, I’m not their friend when it comes time for me to have to be their mom.

To answer your first question: nope, not worth it. 🙂 My 2010 wasn’t that great really and I had such high hopes for it. It seemed a little stagnant but I guess I needed a stagnant year to just settle into my life here in Texas. Curry really does taste good. I have a chicken divan recipe that uses curry and I LOVE it. My hair didn’t change after I was pregnant but I have friends who had sick straight hair and now it’s wavy or really curly…. I guess it can go either way. isn’t it bizarre that it changes at all?
Was just thinking about Y2K the other day. What a joke huh? lol

My hair is just almost sort of getting back to normal, and Jake is 4.75 years old.
Almost sort of normal.
I think like Thauna said it never goes all the way back. Sort of like everything else…
