I can't believe we are already starting the second week of the new year. Time is just flying. Yesterday at church one of my dear friends said that this past year was the fastest year she can remember....and I could not agree more. I am hoping that this year goes by slower than 2011. Or maybe I should wish for enjoying more MOMents in 2012.
So far this year has been off to a busy start. Not so much for Callen and I, but for the other person in the house it has been a busy beginning to the year. Lots of basketball is consuming Jason right now and it will only continue to get busier as playoffs near. We can make it, we always do. I am just finding myself a little more tired being a 24/7 mom with no break at all some nights. However, I am blessed Jason is happy with his reffing and the extra income that comes in from his reffing. I will take another 2 months of crazy schedules, I suppose.
Callen has become so much more independent lately. He loves chasing the cats with their cube and their play stick. He plays with his cat Penny for hours through out the day. He gets so tickled and even out of breath while chasing her. It is a joy to watch and very funny. I am so happy he loves animals (especially cats). And I am so happy that he has started playing with them for an hour a day and letting me get caught up on housework or my testing stuff for school. It is nice getting a breather here or there. So, thank you Penny for a little relief throughout our day.
I am currently trying to start one of my new year "goals". One of my goals was to find different ways and creative ways to cook. I kinda enjoy cooking, I am just not creative in the aspect of cooking. I am more of a we have to eat, let's cook something real fast and get it over with so I can start the dishes kind of person. So, this year I decided I would try new things and branch out of my comfort zone of go to meals. I have tried several new recipes thanks to Pinterest (I don't know what I did with my time before Pinterest)...and hopefully this goal will be met and I will enjoy it, along with the family.
Another BIG thing is getting ready to happy in our household. Jason and I are planning on going skiing in a few weeks. We will be leaving Callen for a few days. I still have not talked myself into "officially" going on the ski trip. I know it would be good for all of us to get out and about and so Callen could officially be done with nursing. However, I am extremely emotional about leaving him for 3 days. So, add Callen and me to your prayers if you don't mind. That maybe I will be able to handle emotional aspect and the not being with Callen deal. And that Callen would handle Jason and I not being there and that he would handle no nursing from there on out. Praying. God can do it...I just need my nerves to settle. I don't let myself think about going skiing simply because I get so sad thinking about leaving Callen. Leaving him for the first time is hard. I need prayers.
Hope everyone is enjoying 2012. Take a moment to enjoy the day and maybe 2012 won't be remember as "the year that flew by."
