Another year comes to an end

[CathieJ7]

So, as this year comes to a close,  I look back at 2007.  I don't remember much but what I do remember is mostly good.  I know I went to Denver for a friend's wedding.  This was my first plane ride alone.  I went to the Rockford airport instead of OHare.  What a difference.  You really can't get lost in there.  Only 2 floors and the only way to get to the second floor is the ONE set of stairs.  As I waited for our plane to be ready, I took my Dramamine.  The gentleman I sat next to was very nice.  I told him that I wasn't sure how this flight would go as the last time I flew I was a bit green.  He was very nice.  He asked me several times if I was ok.  Believe it or not I actually fell asleep on the plane as well.  Now, for being clostrophobic as well, this was a big accomplishment.  This was a tiny plane, holding only 50 people! 

So, after getting lost in the Denver airport and getting found by Brad and Sue, I survived!  I got to spend 4 days with them.  It was awesome!  Brad, Sue, Becky and I went up to Pikes Peak.  I even got over to the edge.  I knew that if I didn't I would regret it.  I was as nausious as can be and light headed, but I knew I would survive.  You could almost touch the clouds.  They were only a few feet away from us.  14,110 feet above sea level. 

That was my vacation for 2007.  Four days of God's mountains.  I gained more confidence this year.  I have learned that I can sing.  I may not be great, but I can carry a tune.  I've also found that I love to sing, ok, I already knew that.  I can remember when I was planning on singing when I went out with Will.  I practiced a song for a week infront of my daycare kids before I would seriously think about singing it infront of adults.  Now, if I mess up a song, oh well.  I did when I sang "Holly Jolly Christmas"  I couldn't hear it in my head! It sounded aweful. 

My favorite songs to sing karaoke to are:  Suds in the Bucket, Stand back up,  Sweet Dreams (are made of this), and a couple of others on my playlist. 

So, as the year comes to an end, I think about what is instore for me in 2008.  Who knows.  Angel will turn 17 in a couple of months!  That's scary enough.  Don't throw anything else at me.  Resolutions?  Of course, I have some.  I want to cook 2-3 times a week for my family.  I would like to become a stronger Christian wife.  A better wife.  A better mom.  I've already started some of these things.  Now, to remember that it takes 28 days of repitition to become a habit. 

My habits:  I'm in the habit of not smoking (never even tried it so that's an easy habit to keep).  I'm in the habit of saying hello and goodbye when talking to people on the phone.  Ok, I'm looking for good habits.

Anyway, naptime in the daycare is almost over with so I need to get back to work.  There's only 5 dcks here today so it's a little easier, one is on vacation this week and the other two SAs are off, they're usually only afterschool. 

Looking forward to better days and a cheerier dispostion.  Today is a Blah day.  It will get better.  It will get better.  This yuk feeling will end and I will be happy like I know I should be.

I was reading on someone else's blog aboutADD and how she thought it was depression.  Gee, if you look at my writings ADD is definately in there somewhere.  Gotta love typing, keeps me doing two things at once.
