What, 42 already?

Yes, that's me today. Somehow the past year just slipped by in a haze.I am feeling a bit blah and tired, really work wise this year has been a bummer. I am struggling to get the cheer together to celebrate. That being said, I have already celebrated yesterday and it will continue today.

As I have up to today not had a chance to think about a wish list, I have been giving it a bit of though last night and this morning. So, for my next year I wish for:
  • Good health for me and the rest of our family.
  • Happy normal children that actually sleep through the night
  • A great new and stimulating job for my sweet DH. He deserves it.
  • A good year for the business. Times are tough in the building industry.
  • A new creative hobby - actually I think I have found it. Mosaik. So let's hope it works out the way I want it to.
  • Less stress. Just less stress, mostly at work. But just juggling those balls too.
  • Friendship and love. I have not blogged about it yet, because I am finding it terribly hard to even think about it, but my BFF is moving to Australia next year. With my other BFF in Canada for the last 5 years, I am feeling pretty low about friendship.
  • More time to relax as a family. I truly believe that as the kids get older these times get better and better. We are already planning a weekend camping in March in the Pilansberg with S,I and their kids.
  • More time for me and Hunter together. We need it. And I love it.
  • A more tidy and organized home - I need to seriously declutter and assign places for things. I know that I need to make this happen - so I wish for the energy and time to do this. And my family to at least try and keep to it.
  • A year of keeping the dark wolf away from my door without chemical interference. I can feel him knocking at the moment, as it happens at times when I am tired and stressed.
  • And most of all, a year filled with love, laughter and fun.
And to you my friends in the computer, thank you for your love and support.

  10. Happy Birthday Cat. I'm sorry to hear your friend is moving so far away. A good friend of ours just visited over the past 5 days and I cried like a baby after she and her family left. It is so hard to say good-bye to friends and family. Just think, you all can come visit her and meet all us blog friends in route. HINT HINT!
