Looking Ahead to the New Year

How can it be 2011 already?! It's been 10 years since I graduated college. 8 years since Tom and I started dating, 6 1/2 years since we got married, and nearly 4 years since Tennyson was born. Why couldn't time go this quickly when I was in school? Why do I look at my boys and think, "Didn't we just bring you home from the hospital?" *sigh*

And here I find myself months and months later and still not much closer to catching up on my blog. I was doing so well when I just had one, but with two (and a 3-year old that no longer naps) my free time is very limited. When Raleigh is napping Tennyson wants all of my attention. Somehow he's lost that blessed ability to play by himself. So we're working on that. Part of me thinks, "Oh, it will be so nice when Tennyson goes to preschool 3 mornings a week in the fall. I'll get so much done!" But then the thought of being without him for 10 or so hours a week makes me want to cry!

I am not a New Years Resolution maker (Hmm, perhaps I should make one though - to keep up with my blog?), but I do have a few things I'd like to accomplish and there is so much to look forward to in 2011: Disney World (March), celebrating 7 awesome years of marriage (June), the boys turning 2 and 4 (July), and Tennyson starting preschool (August). My major "goal" is to make Team Leader (or get close to it) with Wildtree. If I put my mind to it (and become a master at time management) I think I can do it!

So yes, there's much to be excited about this year, and I'm sure before I know it, I'll be writing about how I can't believe it's 2012 already!
