What a year it has been. We had a new baby in January and it just seems like the year sped by so fast after that. Work was hectic with a lot of people moving on or being let go but we still needed to get the same amount of work done. :( My other children are getting older but it's still hard not to look at them like they are babies. My oldest son turned 9 in November and my daughter is 7 (going on 17) and my other son is 4 so he can go to school next year! It's amazing to think in a couple of years Lucas will be in middle school and Maria won't be far behind. Kinda makes me feel old but I guess in a good way.
I really hope that next year will be a great year. I'm not one to make resolutions because I know myself and I can't stick to them but I'm gonna try anyway next year. I want to be more patient because that is something I have a problem with. I need to stop procrastinating about everything! I do it with work, housework, just about everything really. I want to be better about keeping up with friends and not just calling or emailing a couple of times a year. That isn't always easy to do when you have as many small children as I do, but I want to work on it.
Most of all, I want to work on spending quality time with my family. I mean, I'm with them all the time but sometimes just being there doesn't cut it. Life is hard and trying to balance a home life with a job is frustrating.
If I don't write again before Christmas, I hope that everyone has a great one! My folks will be here in a week and it will be so nice to spend time with them. Que Dios te bendiga! (God Bless you for the non Spanish speakers!)
