Alright, so there is only a couple more hours left in the year of 2007. Usually, this is when a lot of people start to express their New Years' resolutions and such. I've never done such things but I have set goals to accomplish for the coming year.
My mother would say every year around this time, "A new year is coming. Some things 'bout to change around here." I look back at that now and laugh. How ridiculous was that? Every year it was the same thing and every year, nothing changed.
Now, I don't do those kinds of things to my children. I play around with them every year and say the same thing my mother use to tell us. I say it to my husband also. He gets a kick out of it, only because he can definitely see (hear) my mother saying those words.
So for 2007 the following things happened (or didn't happen):
* my oldest became a middle schooler
* my oldest became taller than me
* the realization that my baby is getting older (second grader) sunk in
* my husband graduated from the police academy
* I didn't enroll in school
* I didn't participate in any business workshops to start my bookstore
* I got a promotion on my job
* I got an idea for my christian fiction novel
* I didn't win NaNo
* I left the church I grew up in (31 yrs) and joined another church
* my oldest became completely natural
* I did my first fast in March (30 days) and did my second in September (14 days)
