...ring in the new!
So 2006 is behind us, and we are moving on to a new year.
Is there anything you woudl like to leave behind with '06?
What new challenges (I didn't use the "R" word!) do you hope to embrace in '07?

Sure do! 2006 was probably one of the worst years of my life so i am glad it is done. However, it did turn around towards the end of the year with finding my new bf in the summer.
It was a good year for the kids as they both made lots of progress and for that i am grateful. They are tough cookies.
2007, i am hoping to get some routine and security back in my life. And who knows, cross your fingers for me and hope that I have found the right guy, because so things are great.

leaving behind in 2006
Ok pre-1) Had to put this at the top when I thought about it. FInally being able to leave behind the question of if Mike has a mood disorder or ADHD. I am very glad to leave that question behind and know the answer is NO.
1) I would like to leave behind my behind or about 20lbs of it.
2) triennials. It was triennial year and I am glad that is done
3) medication for mike, again
4) The first year of middle school and the transition
5) The anxiety over going back to work
6) The admissions process for the Cal State system
7) The nasty almost legal battle with Cait's school.
What I look forward to in 2008
1) getting a definitive dx for Mike finally which should be arriving in the next few weeks.
2)Continuing with my education and being done in spring 2008
3) Losing those last piddly 20lbs
4) Finally getting with a good doc and taking care of my health. I have a healthy lifestyle which unfortunately does NOT include regular trips to a doc.
5) Mike graduating from elementary school
6) My "baby" turning 7 and officially beginning those "big kid" years. Ok, I am not looking forward to that
Leave behind in 2006:
1) all the stress, mistrust and bad feelings that are in the relationship betwen xh & myself.
2) the disappointment,loneliness & fear i felt when son's behavior was undx'ed.
Looking forward to in 2007:
1) taking care of myself. as i've been told- you can't care for son if you're in bad shape.
2) demand the respect from people that i deserve instead of letting things go "just to keep the peace"
3) spend more time with the nieces/nephews. i always wanted more than one child and i do enjoy the time spent with most of them.
4) i have big colorful plans for my yard this spring.
wishing you all a wonderful, healthy new year.
Happy New Year!!!
I want to leave behind:
1)being embarrassed in public with my son and apologizing to everyone or explaining.
2)being so hypervigilant of my son's behaviors/issues that I do not enjoy him!
In 2007 I would like to:
1)Use my time more wisely and I guess that would mean I need to be more organized!
2)Be sure to take care of myself. Like remembering to eat and to have exercise as part of my schedule.
3)Be a better wife to my husband. Not taking him for granted.
