2009 was really great for the Rawson family. And I know 2010 will be a wonderful journey as well. Can’t wait!

As everyone is planning their resolutions, I sit here not sure if I can really resolve to do much of anything. The next year is going to be completely new for me. I’m stumbling into the unknown. I guess I resolve to be a good wife, mother, sister, daughter and Christian. I want to continue to let go of the little stuff and give God control of the big stuff. That’s really what matters to me these days.

Hope you have brushed off the bad vibes of 2009 while keeping the lessons and blessings close to your heart. 2010 will be surely give you more lessons and blessings to add to the pile!

Happy New Year to you and yours!

So I decided to take a couple days off this week. So far today I have done the following: woke up early, drank a lot of water, found out we are having a baby girl who loves sporting finger guns, ate a massive amount of Abuelo’s, took an epic nap, and researched baby names.

Pretty good day!

I absolutely abhor when people say FML. Brought to fame via the interwebs, FML has to be the most over-used unnecessary exclamatatory statement ever.

F* your life, huh? You do know that there are people in this world with cancer, right? And some of those people have cancer in really unfortunate places. Like their brains. Or testicles. Or bum holes. Isn’t that just a tad worse than your little headache or busy Wednesday afternoon? Or, let’s consider the starving people in third world countries, or the homeless in our own city.

Now, if you are homeless, hungry, are having a really busy Wednesday afternoon AND you have cancer, then go ahead. Say FML.

I need a “start fresh” spell. I need all my open projects to be deleted. I need my house to be remodeled, painted, clean and organized. I need my desk to be spotless. And then I need a vacation in which I come back and just start over. I’ll be able to be creative and effective at my job. I’ll be able to be a good house-keeper. Laundry will be kept up. Dishes will be done. Carpets will be clean.

I just don’t have enough time or energy to complete my work and then go home and be productive.

And whah.
