As the year wraps up I’m taking time to see what parts of my Top 100 (ok really I think it was my Top 44) I focused on, attempted or accomplished.
So my top 100 list looked like this (after water damage – which broke my heart)
The main items I tackled this year
-
Cello – I figured out that my brain doesn’t work like that. LOL! I think I work better on my flute.
-
School – I started going to massage school 9/10/15 and by 11/27/15 I realized I couldn’t have it on my plate. Five classes on top of working full time and being a mom. So this one is getting put on the back burner till the boys go to school.
-
Work – I have kept my temp job for over a year now. There have been times I didn’t think I would make it this far but I am holding on still.
-
Vegan-ish – I haven’t gone entirely vegan but we have eaten many more vegan meals this past year. Bonus: My husband LOVES tofu!!
-
DIY Planner – After the sad drowning of my ECLP last year I have gone on to put together my DIY planner. (I will be posting about this really soon) I am still tweaking it but I am getting closer to my final look.
-
Mini Shrine – So there’s like author that I adore and she started making mini shrines a couple years ago. When she started making them I promised myself I would totally get one. Well this year I did the damn thing! I got a very beautiful Spiral Goddess one! I heart her and she sits right next to my bed and I see her every day and every night.
-
Growing healthy boys – This year I have really focused on this. We had a GI appointment last month with our new GI doc for the boys and while I am thankful for his gung-ho attitude to conquer everything that ails my boys; I am at the same time hoping he will slow down a bit. He was worried about Mikey’s growth rate (he’s not even in a line of the growth chart). I will fully admit I freaked out a bit about that after the appointment and then I realized “Duh! I have HD boys and not only that but Mikey doesn’t eat meat!” So then I felt like an idiot for a minute and moved passed that. He did however help me move in the direction of possible potty training EJ with the help of canning pectin! I guess the help always has to come from the most unusual places huh? 🙂
-
A Stronger Marriage – Now this one I haven’t said much about this year. My husband and I almost got divorced this year. We realized two things in the process of splitting up, 1) there was something there worth fighting tooth and nail for. 2) We needed to be communicate to the point of being transparent with each other. Of course no relationship is perfect but we are still working on it. I know that there are days when we wanna kill each other – or just maim each other – and we are still working out kinks but I think we will be ok if we both keep talking and both believe there is something worth fighting for.
