2011 a new me?

I’m so excited about what 2011 will bring. 2010 has had its’ highs with the arrival of Edward as well as the lows with my husband being hospitalised twice. We’ve spent a large part of the year away from home due to his illness which put a dampener on my maternity leave. However we have a lot to look forward to with planning for baby number two and I need to decide whether to return to work or not in a couple of months.

I HAVE to learn to drive this year. Every year I promise myself I will take my test but don’t get round to it. I think it’s essential to be able to drive at my age, especially if we have two children, so this is top of the list.

Secretly I think New Year’s Resolutions are a waste of time. I’ve never managed to keep previous resolutions apart from stopping smoking a few years ago. I wouldn’t want to promise to do things I couldn’t achieve so I’m just going to try to be as good as I can and make a happy home. I have some other hopes which are pretty normal: to lose my post c-section tummy, wean Edward off his 11pm feed and dummy, decide where we want to move to, spend more time with friends, enjoy ourselves more and be happy and grateful for all that we have.

Happy New Year everyone
