I am going to be really brave and post about my New Years Resolutions; well they are not really all resolutions, more just hopes for 2012.
#1 Definitely be a better wife! Richard copes a lot of shit, sorry but there is no other way to put it. I need to treat him so much better than what I do. It is so weird how you treat those closest to you, and those who mean the most, with such a lack of care at times. I know I have the whole mothering thing down pat but my wifey skills really need a good shake up.
#2 Stay away from Perth. This year I am really going to try and stay home in Tammin... a lot more. Mum that means you and Rog are doing more road trips to visit us this year.
#3 H A V E A F R I G G I N B A B Y.
If I follow through with hopes #1 & #2 then having a baby is much more likely. If I don't fall pregnant soon I might just go insane. I have never wanted for anything so much in my life. Twins would actually be preferable as I want three kids but Richard assures me we will only be having two.
And moments like these....
I will be happy.
#5 Raise a whole heap of money for the Asbestos Disease Society this year. My step Mum Den has lost so many members of her immediate family to asbestos related diseases. Her family lived in Wittenoom for a period of time which resulted in the tragic deaths of her brothers and beautiful Mum. Den has organised for a group of 20 (including yours truly) to walk from Kalgoorlie to Perth to raise much needed funds for research. She wants to smash the one million dollar mark, so I am going to give it my all to help her. So when I approach you for sponsorship please dig deep because I am going to walk my arse off, and hopefully I will be pregnant so I will be doing it doubly tough. Maybe you should give me double as much!!!!! The walk is in May... which brings me to #6
#6 Get fitter. At the end of last year I did a Michelle Bridges exercise program for about 7 weeks. It was tough and I didn't see results in my figure until week 5, but man I got fit quickly. by the end of week 4 I could jog 12km. I felt amazing. It all stopped when I went up north to see Brooke. I got back into it yesterday morning and it was hard. I have lost the motivation I had when I did the program first time round. I am so sore too.
#7 I can't believe I even have to write this one but D O N' T S M O K E. It is so not cool. I kicked the habit over two years ago and I was so proud of myself. I am not back smoking full time but it is on my mind and I feel like tobacco is taking hold over me again. What a total loser!!!!!
#8 Save money so we can finish off stuff around our house. I am getting tired of looking at things that should have been done or should have been afforded if I hadn't spent so much money in the past. I am going to live within our budget and not blow it on shit. Noah does not need anything, that includes clothes too!
#9 Spend more time with my mother and father in-law. Richard's parents are getting older, you wouldn't know it though. They really are incredible for their age but that doesn't change the fact that they are getting older. John is approaching 90 this year and Margaret is turning 80. I really want to plan something special for their birthdays this year, wether it be a great party or some amazing experience for them. They deserve it. This year I must also take some photos of them together with Richard and with Noah Jon. I have the perfect spot in mind, it is just a matter of finding the time and doing it! That gets me thinking ' wonder if we are going to gate crash their Rottnest holiday again this year?"
#10 Plan an awesome party for Richard's 40th birthday. I can't quite believe that I am going to be married to a 40 year old. Isn't it also amazing that he celebrates his 40th, his Mum has her 80th and his Dad has his 90th all in the same year.
#11 Grow a thumper crop this year. Is it worth even hoping to make money off a lupin crop?
#12 This is my last specific hope for 2012: I really do hope that Tammin Primary School has bloody good year. The school really is the hub of our tiny little community and for the sake of our community (which I have really grown to love) I hope the school thrives this year. I work there so I see so much that goes on. I see the brilliant bits that do happen at that school and I just hope that 2012 brings more brilliance, more of the time. Just one more year until Tammin Primary School will be gifted with Noah's presence. Ha ha ha.
#13 Wow if you have read this far you really must be obsessed with me and my family... Joking! My last hope is the same one that I hope for every year and that is (drum roll please) that all my friends and family have a great year. That means be healthy, be happy and take great care of those you love. Hold them near and tell them just how special they really are xoxo
