Late Night Thoughts

1. It's actually early morning.
2. I can't believe its finally the new year. I have been looking forward to this for so long, that even though I hardcore celebrated its arrival, it was still slightly anticlimactic.
3. After a good, honest talk with my brother, I came to the conclusion that a man who does not, at the very least, appreciate the classic Disney movies, is not worth a second glance.
4. I am determined to stick with my exercise routine. I am doing this for me and my kids, who deserve someone who can keep up with them.
5. I could totally rock being a stay at home mom. It's too bad the bills wouldn't get paid then.
6. I found three gray hairs in the last month and dyed my hair. I never thought I'd be the type. I also never thought I'd go gray before 30.
7. I only have to survive one more semester before I can begin Christy 2.0. Still waiting to hear back on my grad school application.
8. I don't understand this quest for happiness thing some people rule their lives by. Happiness isn't found in a career, relationship, or money. It is simply a state or being...an attitude. Teaching is my calling. 90% of the time I'd rather be home, but there's an occasional blip on the radar that keeps me going. The other 90 % I just have to remind myself it pays the bills.
9. #8 reminds me that I don't understand people who like to have others completely support them. If you have any, slightly functioning body and a smile, Walmart or McDonalds will hire you. You are not too good for that spot. If I lost my job today, I'd have no problem mopping the floors at Dairy Queen if it meant I was providing for myself and my kids.
10. I communicate with more of my high school classmates through Facebook than I ever did in school.
11. Before I had kids, I hated talking to small children. Now, sometimes I feel like they're the only ones who make sense sometimes.
12. Financial reasons may prevent my Pikes Peak climb this year, but I'll get it next year for sure.
13. I may or may not be addicted to home improvement.
14. The older I get, the more of my inner nerd I embrace.
15. Life is more fun when you have a hobby.
16. I plan on attending the 'Stros first home game. Who's with me?
17. This is the first in 5 years that I didn't watch even ONE football game. I didn't miss it.
18. I was a little bummed to find out I don't get an upgrade until the end of this year. Oh well
19. This was the best Christmas I've had since I was a little kid.
20. I'm starting to wish winter was over.
