Life in 2010...

I copied this template and idea from another blog- here is my shot at it...

In 2010, I gained a sweet baby girl! 5 days into 2010 Caroline Louise joined our family!

I lost the ability to keep a clean house and the laundry done.

I stopped even trying to keep a clean car- just can't happen.

I started to not care who was watching me or my kids when they were throwing level 5 fit in public- I am sure they have been there, or will be one day.

I was hugely satisfied by how well we have been able to handle these three monkeys. The logistics of three were hard at first, but I feel like we have it under control- most of the time..

And frustrated by how there are so many things I should have written down that the kids said or did- and didn't

I am so embarrassed that I never sent out birth announcements for Caroline- I promised myself I would do everything for her that I did for the first two...

Once again, I made sure my kids had fun each and every day.

Once again, I made sure they felt loved each and every day too.

The biggest physical difference between me last December and this December is I am not pregnant.

The biggest psychological difference between me last December and this December is I forget everything unless it is on my calendar.

I loved spending time at the beach with my family.

Why did I spend even two minutes worrying about things that don't matter.

I should have spent more time writing things down.

I regret not much..

I will never regret spending time with my kids.

I woke up during the night way too much.

Waking up with these three every few hours during the night nearly drove me crazy.

The most relaxing place I went was the beach

Why did I not win the lottery last night?

The best thing I did for someone else was make sure everyday was a good one for my babies

The best thing I did for myself was spend time with my family

The best thing someone did for me was make me feel loved and special-
