It is so exciting to think that we get a new year every year! Like the last 5 years of my life, 2008 continued to spin me around like a crazy lady. I finally have reached a point where I desperately need to come up for air. Year after year, I have continued to load up my plate with work, kids, family, social events and pretty much anything else that was out there. I think I have finally reached my breaking point...not that I am gonna go crazy or need to be commited, or feel like I am gonna jump off a bridge kind of breaking point, but more of a physical exhaustion kind of breaking point. Now don't get me wrong, as stressful and busy as the last 5 years have been I have enjoyed just about every single second of it. It has been filled with babies, hard work, new houses, family and friends and lots of love. The problem that I have realized is that when you load your plate too full, other parts of life take a back seat and 2009 is the time to make some adjustments. With the passing of my dear grandma this year, it is a reminder of how precious life is.
With that being said, I look forward to staying home more, preparing for our 4th and final addition in June, nursing baby 4 through age 5, having conversations with Mr. B and reprogramming my mind to slow down. This Superwoman is hanging up her cape in 2009.
So here is to 2009. May we all get back to the basics of family and friends.
