No resolutions here. No goals whatsoever. Just what is on my mind at midnight. Day one to New year gone, much to contemplate for 2010! This is a painfully long post, I know, but my mind is reeling, can't sleep, here's some gibberish...
January: Bailey's upcoming birthday, 11! Up-side-down birthday party, lots of hyper girls, crazy get-ups and hopefully lots of laughs! Really start looking for the perfect Maltipoo for our little dog lover...really! Art class, basketball. Start cutting credit cards and go to my new CASH budget, right Kel? Got to be thrifty in order for this year to pan out! I hate the word THRIFTY, anyone else? Start "The Real Deal", what mother's don't like to admit on their blogs, a new monthly post seen only here at "Happenings du jour". I'm sick of sticky sweet blogs, now you get the real deal! I'm not ashamed!
Also, and can't forget this happened first, Kelly and my 15 year anniversary!!! Ya hoo! We are going strong! To celebrate, nothing big....yet...(see May)
Start BOM challenge with Bailey, Kel and me. Gonna DO IT!
Febuary: Valentines. I'm going all out this year but don't tell Kel! Shhh!
Trip to see the Dales in ID...skiing, snowshoeing, Tetons!
March: Celebrate Kel's birthday and my dad's 70th at Hale and Fiddler on the Roof (Bailey and Noah too!) Start training for race in June. Darn.
April: Seeing the snow go AWAY and enjoy the first look at Spring, hopefully...
Sam's B-day, 7! Conference, Easter with the family. Baseball begins.
May: A trip to Southern France. Need I say more. Happy Anniversary to ME! Oh, and finally start playing with photo shop for all the pictures I will take. Got to learn it this year FOR SURE! (right Carin?) This is where the CASH budget comes in.
June: Kids get out of school, summer, summer, summer time, pool days! Water parks, cousin time, brown kids.(oh, and ragnar...in fine print) I will run like the wind and not want to die. I will not regret my hardest run yet! I will survive! BTW, we are going to have a team "costume" this year and the coolest van EVER!!!!
July: Kelly's tri in ID, trips to Bear Lake, camping, fishing, general relaxing if possible. Family TIME! Monkeying around, swinging, laughing, late nights, and trying to stay SANE with all this family time!
August: Sneak in one more trip...somewhere. If Spackman's are reading this, how about Nauvoo, Carthage, Chicago? (If not this year next!) Or Oregon coast again with Moody's too? School shopping. Soccer time for boys!
September: Jenna will turn 5 and this will be my last year with a child at home. I look forward to a cherished year with my littlest one. I turn 30 something and LOVE it! (haha) School in swing, schedules, structure once again. AND LION KING!!!!! One of my favorite Broadway plays and we're taking the kids! It's their first!
October: Halloween like you've never seen it before...What do you think about a Rock-n-Roll theme for my party? Dress up as ANY singer or band you want!
November: Noah turns 10, can't believe I'm typing this. 10! He will be moving up in the Scouting world. (KEl will like that I added that) I can't even say Thanksgiving because that just happened and it doesn't sound good right now.
December: All the things we just did and more! Getting a second tree-fake, for entry way. Yes, I'm sort of breaking down here. I'm a firm believer in REAL and will continue to buy one every year. Get a TREE topper that I love since it's been two years with nada on top of our tree. Not that we can reach the top even if we wanted to!
Looks like a good year to me! Now I can sleep. Goodnight! ****Oh, one more thing...I want to take an adult art class from Chris Jacobs-painting. If anyone is out there reading this and would like to join in, let me know!!!!! I need support, people who won't laugh. Ok, goodnight!

Yes ... looooooong post. But CUTE! Oh, May looks heavenly! Ragnar ... I'm on your team! Uniforms? Are you serious? I noticed you posted this in the middle of the night? Last night I slept not even three hours! Never happened! I was up with my lights on the same time as YOU! My mind raced ALL night with possibilities! You have a wonderful year ahead!!!!!!!
It all sounds wonderful. I wish I could plan out my year like that, but I've found in recent years that life doesn't always turn out the way we plan. I'm flying by the seat of my pants this year. Who knows what surprises might arise. Have a great year and lots of fun! ♥
Costumes for Ragnar??? I'm a little nervous about this one :) What a great post. It looks like you will have a great 2010!
I'm excited for your year too!!! Southern France!!!!!! You are a smart woman! Happy New Year!!!
AMAZING year ahead for you, "young" lady! You're INSPIRING--and I hope you give monthly follow-ups after you accomplish all you've set out to do!!
