I know for some the number 13 is unlucky but I can't wait for this new year to begin. 2012 was an insane mix of incredible highs and pretty deep lows and I'm hoping for a little more even 2013.
2012 was the year I became a mother. I still can't quite get my head around the thought that at some point in the not too distant future someone will call me mama. Amelie has brought us more joy and happiness than I would have thought possible. She lights up every room she's in with her huge big grins and cheerful spirit. I'm so proud to be her mother and excited about what this next year has in store for us as our little sausage gets bigger and explores the world more.
Of course there were lows attached to becoming a mother. I did not anticipate the mass of confusing emotions, the identity crisis, the PND or breakdown I had. I never really appreciated before how becoming a parent makes you look at your own childhood and how any issues you had with it come to the forefront.
So I feel 2013 is going to be a better year. Here's hoping my Toni gets the job he wants and I work out what going back to work means for me.
And as I love lists, here we go...
What are your aims for the new year?
Happy New Year doll....I hope it's a beautiful one for you & you achieve all these things and more...you can do it!! xx
ReplyDeleteHappy new year! 2012 was kind of like a roller coaster. From growing a massive .preg belly and giving birth (which I still can't believe I did).
ReplyDeleteI remember how overwhelming the first few months were as a first time mum and then the panic of juggling a job.
I plan to chill out for 2013. With Kip officially on formula I feel like I can plan for time to myself. First things first... Going to buy a new bra. Something with underwire.
It's nice to have my body back
I too want to learn more new dishes and have 7 I can do well only :) it's a little sad I know but very proud of myself for cooking a cheese sauce from scratch yesterday. I have never done a cheese sauce can you believe?! Happy New Year lovely xx
ReplyDeleteI'm loving the lists in blogland at the moment. Yours is a very good one. Your Amelie is a sweetie xx
ReplyDeletenumbers 5, 6 and 9 are on my list too.
ReplyDeleteI also want to eat more fruit and exercise compassion on public transport.
Happy New Year,
Patricia
