Hopes...Dreams...Wishes

Tonia what a great idea for kicking off the New Year.

I have never been one for making a resolution but I do have hopes, dreams and wishes for 2009. My dreams came true in 2008 when we were blessed with Sierra. She has been such a wonderful addition to our family. My courage friends showed me what life can be if I take time for myself...now in 2009 I hope to find time for myself. Now that I said that what are we doing for the January reunion?!?

My hopes, dreams and wishes for 2009 are grand and I have no idea how I will fit it all in. I guess that is why we ring in a new year on a regular basis. As I prepare to head back to work in February I am determined not to let the papers that need to be graded stress me out. I hope to leave work at 3:30 four days a week, go to the gym for some "me" time and then pick Sierra up no later than 5:30. My hope is to only stay at work late one day a week to grade papers...I don't want to be one of 'those' moms who bring home all this work and have little time to spend with their children.

I dream of "me" time...hiking, going to the gym, scrapbooking, reading, stamping and going out with friends. I don't want "me" time to be cleaning, laundry, cooking, yard work.

I have grand plans for a road trip with my Mom and Sierra in late June or early July to Southern California to see my brother. I also want a tropical vacation (a dream) where I can swim up to a bar and do nothing but lay by a pool. I also have my 10 year high school reunion this summer and my wish for this is to look better than I did 10 years ago! Oh and don't forget we are all supposed to go away for a weekend....who is working on this?!?

Oh my...I guess I have a lot of hopes...dreams...wishes...
