It's the most... Wonderful time.. Of 2013!

Yes I said it, it's the most wonderful time of 2013!! Why?? Well, let's make a list...

First: It's the beginning of the year! 

People get so motivated around this time.. All of their New Year's resolutions have been set and while I have hope that most of you will accomplish your goals, I know that 98% of you won't. 

My mom asked me New Year's Day what my resolution was and I said to get through 2013. I have decided not to set myself up for failure because let's face it, I say I want to lose weight but I know I'm not going too, I hate working out. Plus, I'll be having my 5th and FINAL (see how I put that in a caps?) baby in June and I can work with that whole, "I just had a baby" excuse at least until it's time to make my 2014 resolution. 

Then my mom says, "your resolution should be to talk nicer to people." Listen, if you know me, you know that I take after my grandma in a sense that I can be very sarcastic at times. I'm not trying to be mean, you just have to know ME and know that's how I talk. If you hear Josh and I talking to each other and I tell him I'm going to punch him, we're not fighting, that's just our language of love, I promise! If you hear me tell my kids (that aren't listening at the moment) that I'm going to wally womp them, they know that means that mama is about to get really upset and they should run, not that I'm literally going to wally womp them, unless they need it.. "Spare the rod, spoil the child." Sorry folks, I'm a firm believer in that one, get upset if you want but that's why I'm my kids mom and you're not! Another great example is if you've ever heard a conversation between my sister and I, although it may sound like we hate each other and loath the site of each other, it's really us telling each other how much we missed and love each other.. We get it, I guess I expect that you should too. 

Second: The Mayan's had it ALL WRONG!

While I didn't really believe that world was going to end on December 21st. you can't help but wonder. It didn't make it any better that all those stupid end of the world shows were on for like the whole month. I don't usually watch those shows but for some reason Josh LOVES them and thinks it's funny to scare me. I mean if you really think about it, the world is going to end at some point and I'm the type of person that I HATE not knowing. I want to know when things are going to happen so I can be prepared, you know like those doomsday prepper shows, so if NASA can help me out on this one I'd greatly appreciate it, thanks!

LAST: Reflecting on 2012...

Overall, when I look back at 2012 as a whole, it was a pretty dang good year. I was blessed with a job that I enjoy, never mind the pay, that's what school and a degree is for. My kids are healthy, my husband is happy, and my family is at peace. We went through some struggles as everyone does but with my amazing support system, we were able to pull through it and come out better than ever. Things could have always been worse but yet somehow we were able to stick together as a family and get through it. 2013 can only bring more joy, happiness, and prosperity. As Phil from Duck Dynasty would say, we are "happy, happy, happy!"
