2010


It has been too long since I blogged, but lots has happened since my birthday including a husband who was gone for several weeks in October, a father-in-law's death, a dear friend being diagnosed with breast cancer, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and then the New Year. This week has been the first time in months that I have actually had the time to sit at the computer and type more than simple Facebook updates.

Tonight, the girls are playing with Anna's godparents; tomorrow is a photo session with Clare's godmother; and this week, we will hopefully all resume our normal schedule. We skipped school today because of the snow and because I had a terrible dizzy spell. Thankfully, my dizziness has subsided, and hopefully, the impending snowstorm will not hit until after school on Thursday.

I am starting to make plans for the girls' 3rd birthday. We are doing an Olympic theme for their party. I am eagerly awaiting the proof for the invitation from the graphic artist.

Peter and Phyllis (Anna's godparents) are busy planning Marla's wedding which is now scheduled for October 23rd in Boston. I learned tonight that Marla finally picked a date and a venue. We are all looking forward to traveling to the Beantown this fall and attending this very special event.

Michael is busy with work at the firm. He was able to spend the holidays with us, but he is back at work keeping his regular hours. I never imagined that being married to a lawyer could be just as bad as being married to an OB-Gyn. Fortunately, spending 22 years with my father prepared me for being married to a man who is gone more than he is home.

Now that I have completed one item on my checklist (to blog), I need to finish my thank you notes, organize closets and get the girls old clothes to the Goodwill, complete two needlepoint projects so that I can start the girls' stockings, and start collecting financial statements for the 2009 taxes. Hopefully, January won't get away from me before I tackle some of these projects!

I will try to be more disciplined in blogging this year. Don't worry that is not a resolution to be broken, simply a reminder to me.

Happy 2010!
