2013 Resolutions

I woke up this morning to a little voice asking, “Is it January?”  We have spent a long while talking up January, and in the last few days January and New Years Eve is all Nora has been hearing about, from story and craft at the library

to the concert she danced her way through afterwards  up until last night’s special night of baking.  What I didn’t quite realize was that Nora was connecting all that talk about Peach being born in January with New Year’s Day.  The second question I heard this morning was, “Is Peach born???”  I had to explain several times throughout today that January lasts more than one day and that we can’t pick the day, but I think Nora felt quite gypped to not have an extra New Year’s surprise waiting for her when she woke up.

We tried to make up for it with our traditional New Years celebrations of black-eyed peas and family resolution writing, but as much as she enjoyed writing about her favorite things from 2012 and resolutions for 2013, they just aren’t as exciting as becoming a big sister.  But, who can blame her for feeling that way…we’re all starting to get a little anxious to meet baby Peach.

Last year I was really thorough with my resolutions and there were a lot of them.  This year, which will be starting off with a whole lot of exciting and scary things, I am keeping them more simple.  

In 2013, I resolve to:

  1. Be a great mom to two(!) kids
  2. Think positive and keep finding joy, even amid a sea of change and unknowns
  3. Build a home in our new community

It's that time again... Girl Scout cookies! And this year we have two selling. Help them meet their cookies sales goals by ordering online. 

If you live nearby, choose girl delivery and help get cookie boxes out of our garage... Otherwise we're going to be giving them Girl Scout  Cookies for birthday and Christmas presents all year.

Bus stop selfie with Nora. This week she moved from her tiny charter school with only 18 eighth graders to the public middle school with over 200. And now she rides the bus.

The charter school wasn't challenging her enough, has a huge percentage of students who are disruptive in the classroom, and has been having trouble keeping teachers. Last year she loved it. But this year it was one thing after another, so right before Thanksgiving she and I went to go tour our neighborhood  middle school, and she immediately wanted to make the switch.

We've never had a kid in public school and I was nervous about how the transition would go from such a small school to a big one, but so far she's loving it and is glad she decided to move schools. It helps that she knows kids there already from her dance team. Hopefully she'll still be happy when she starts getting homework. Coming from a no homework school that may be a shock to us all.

Halloween 2022. Two witches, a murderous cat, and a creepy Victorian doll. 

Zara's costume was my favorite this year - Nora did her makeup and she wore my flower girl dress from my mom and step-dad's wedding. She might have worn it better. 😂
