Happy New Year!

If you know me, you know I'm not a very optimistic person.  It's not that I don't think good things don't happen and it's not that I don't see the glass half full with most things, I an just realistic.  People aren't going to change overnight, resolutions are more than likely going to fail...it's just me.  Perhaps it's cynicism, if it is, so be it.  I've been in sort of a funk the past, I don't know, week or so.  I know a lot of it has to do with the fact that Darik's not around much and the girls and I are stuck in the house (love IL weather), but even so, I need to snap out of it.  It's much to easy to be the Debbie Downer in the crowd, and no one likes that.  My "resolution" this year is to work on the inner me.  Last year was all about the outside me, this year, it's about the inside.  I need to try to kick the self-hatred and skewed body image to the curb and learn to accept things as they are, however that may be.  Nothing huge, but definitely attainable.

ANYWAY, today kicked off Day 1 of Project 365 and I'm here to post my photo.  It totally sums up what my day is spent doing lately.  Both girls are big into pretending.  Their favorite past time is to play house with their dolls.  Today, Emma decided her baby needed a diaper because she was sick and kept pooping her pants....I don't know, don't ask...I just go with it.  So, without further adieu...

*hugs* I need to work on my inherent negativity, and with my situation lately, you know, it's just not easy. I hope that things are simply fantastic for you in 2010, and don't be too hard on yourself... you're more energetic and cheerful than I am, so at least you're not 'that one' in our group, haha!

I am right there with ya Laura, I need to be more optimistic about so much in my life. I hope 2010 is the best year for you yet. You have come so far in so much, and you look amazing! You have 2 beautiful girls, and 1 handsome husband *wink wink* What more could you ask for!

Xoxo

I looked at the picture and caption before I read the blog and thought that you meant you felt like the baby....

Personally I think we all get along so well because we're all a bunch of negative nancies. I'm hoping that your year goes great but I'm right there with ya on the whole "anti resolutions" front. What's the point?
