I brought myself kicking and screaming into 2010. Suffice it to say I’m not exactly an idealist about each new year being a fresh start. Some things may still suck and the suckiest things don’t really go away just because it is a new year. However, since becoming a mom, I realized that life is what I make it. See, I’ve always thought that maybe I’m just an unlucky broad for having the worst of times, or if I am just a bad bad broad deserving of all the shit I got in the recent years. Now that I am a mom, even if life keeps throwing doodoo at me, I do my best to at least keep sane and hope for the best that I am sane enough not to bring my family down with me. LOL

Anyhow, even if some dead weight is still clinging to me this year, I do know that there are some good things, priceless things, that are happening to me. Somehow, I am thankful.

So for my first Mommy Moments post, I give you all the good things I am looking forward to this start of the new decade.

My family, Christmas Holidays 2009

• My son, Michael Alexis, is turning 4 this year, and with that comes a milestone in his life – PRESCHOOL! Are we ready for it? Hell yeah we are ready for school!
• With my son at school, I do have a few hours for myself each day, hopefully this time will be used productively.
• I promise to make my garden more beautiful than it ever was!
• Hopefully, I will have the guts to stay focused in my goal to lose weight.
• I really need some anger management classes/sessions/therapy of whatever you call it.

Those are just a few things I can think of, off the top of my head. I know I just have to stay focused (and calm) and I know I’ll be fine. After all, a life is boring without resolutions or goals. And the day to day hassles are for naught if we don’t have anything beautiful to look forward to.
