First Time Nerves

Hello Out There-

Well it is a start to 2008, and like everyone else, I have some resolutions:

1) Reduce the amount of yelling I do
2) Find some time for myself- without the guilt
3) Tone those arms that give away that I am closer to 40 than 30
4) Complete my certification
5) Stay in touch with friends and family

So it is a bit much to take on... but I did narrow it down to 5- you should have seen the original list.

I am not sure if it is midlife crisis, or just the realization that at some point I need to be a grown-up, but turning 36 was a bit depressing. I don't have anything to complain about- anything significant that is. I have a husband who loves me, who is breaking his back building me and the girls a new home. I have four fabulous daughters who love me and respect one another. They are curious, loving, great at school, and strong enough to discover new interests. I have a great extended family and some friends who I have no idea what I did to deserve such fabulous-ness in my life.
