The New Year…I’d like

The New Year…

·

January already and no major snow to speak of.  That usually means snow into April.  The seasons seem to be be getting more and more out of whack.  Environmental equilibrium out of balance. I’d like at least one snow -all- damn day, shut everything down kind of snow storm. Just one.

This new year I’d love to find a way for my thirteen year old to find a passion for reading.  I can’t seem to find anyway to pique his interest in anything, it is very frustrating.

·

I’d like to find more Michele time.  I’d like to do and experience more things that define me, who I am.  So much of my identity is tied up in wife and mother.  I don’t even know what I am comfortable with anymore, what suits me. Clarity would be helpful.

·

I’d like to make one new friend this year.  One I can set higher expectations with. I’ve been so down and disappointed with several friends this year, it is so crushing when people you really have counted on let you down. Or maybe I need to scratch the bonding with a new friend and focus inward…gruuaaaaaaahh..

·

I’d like to find more time to write in my diary, more time to write. period. Finding a way to better express myself via the written word is something I need to strive for…right? I used to be able to express my self with such clarity, and it is just gone. that passion. gone. ’05 has gotta be the year.

So I made Saturday my mental health day.  Jammies all day.  Subway munchies. 2 coronas, and pleanty of mindless televison.  I cannot believe how fast the tube can suck you in.  I do not watch all that much tv so watching all day was bizarre.  I ended up watching the Surreal Life on VH1. Have you ever watched this? OMG. Bridgette Neilson and Flava Flav. Apparently this is cast/season #4…I never heard of this show.  7 “celebrities” living in a house together.  Mindless tv indeed….
