Happy New Year 2009!

I'm thinking that a lot of bloggers are posting a title very similar to this today. Let's start out the new year fresh, right? Well, I've been in a funk the last three days, and I'm having a hard time figuring out how to start fresh. So, I'm just going to start, and see when the fresh decides to hit my brain!

I had to start a blood pressure medicine just a few days ago - blame it on my lovely aneurysms! Plus I had a steroid injection in my back. Funny, both items have a warning of mood swings on them. I can attest to that happening! I started the blood pressure medicine and had the injection on the same day. And it was the following day that my mood started to shift. So I'm praying that this is just a temporary shift. Maybe it has a little something to do with the two feet of snow surrounding me, and the fact that we haven't been able to get out to do our normal playgroups and friend time. As much as I enjoy the holidays, I'm finding that I am a very routine driven person, and since my routine has been drastically different since right before Christmas, it is driving me nutso! I will be so glad when Monday gets here and I can get back to my normal every day life. Is this a sign of getting old?

I didn't do a very good job of finishing up my 21 days of thankfulness. I'm going to probably do some back-posting to finish it up. I have lots of photos that I took during the month, and I know it will remind me of the little things I like to be thankful for. I've been thankful the entire month of December, just not real good at posting about it! I'll be sure to try and fix it.

As for New Year's Resolutions? I think I'll wait another week to decide what, or if, I'll make. I need to do some brain scratching on this subject!

Hope you are all having a good New Year so far!

Hello, Meegan,

You left a comment on my blog before Christmas and I've been meaning to get back to you.

You asked, "How do you do it?" I wanted to let you know that I am in no way a super mom. ;) Read on:

My oldest just turned 6 today and I am only now starting to do stuff like this with my kids. This year I told myself, "Come on, Jenny, get your act together and plan a few activities for the kids this year!" Really, I did!

I used to be a school teacher before I had kids, so I have oodles and oodles of activities sitting in boxes in my basement. It has taken me six years to get on the ball here. Does that make you feel better? :)
