Farewell 2012, What a year!

 

Happy New Year my friends!!!

I cant believe 2012 is coming to a close already.

Its been such an incredible year full of ups & downs, I would even say life changing in our household.

 

For 2012 I set myself a few goals, I wanted to be

Consistent

I wanted to get myself into some sort of consistent routine with my fitness training, I wanted to be a yummy mummy!!

Well I did get it all together for a while there & I was feeling pretty good about myself, BUT & theres always a BUT,

I got a full time job & haven't managed to be organised to exercise much since, so, as you can imagine this one is back on the goal list for 2013

 

I also wanted to be

CREATIVE

This I did do, I got more creative with my photography & I did a fair bit of sewing & some great party styling, right down to making a fantastic prop box for a photo booth at parties, which has been a real hit & left us with some fun memories.

 

My last goal for 2012 was to show

COURAGE

when I communicate

My marriage was going through some pretty tough times & I was desperately unhappy in life, so I had 2 choices.

I could throw it all away

OR

speak up & fight for what I felt was right & change it!

Well finding the courage to speak up brought about some pretty awful days, followed by lots of change & I have to say, this is the happiest my life has been for a VERY long time.

 

So it turns out that 2012 has been a very tough year but well worth the fight.

I'm hoping 2013 might go a little slower as we have so many big & exciting things happening in life this year, it would be great to take the time to notice them & live in the moment a little!!

 

I have been working full time(45hr week) for 2 months now & I have so much to learn in my job its not funny, but I really am enjoying the challenge.

It feels good to know I am building myself a new career. I turn 42 this year & really felt that this was my last opportunity to have a big career change.

 

Dream child No1 starts her studies in fashion design at Billie Blue design college in Sydney & has just moved into her first apartment, all by herself. She is so grown up & mature, I'm so proud & excited for her!!!

Dream child No2 did 10 months as a hairdressing apprentice this year, but due to a not so pleasant work environment decided it wasn't the career for her & has since quit & gotten a traineeship in Business Admin which starts if feb2013.

 

Dream child No3 has really come a long way, its safe to say we have this ADHD under wraps with diet & homeopathic treatments, NO drugs. He has lots of lovely friends these days, not just the other naughty kids. He goes into Yr5 this year & has also been elected as sports captain for his house at school.

 

Dream child No4 has graduated from kindergarten & is now a big Yr1 kid in school, she has had a great year & learnt so much it blows my mind, she also caught every cold, flu virus & bug including  head lice so I think she should have a good immune system for the year ahead!!!

 

There are some intersting things occuring on the dream house front as well, which I will save for another post.

 

So I'm expecting

2013

to be a fabulous year full of rewards from lots of hard work.

 

My goals are to be

Organised, Efficient & Consistent.

 

I want to be organised enough that I can exercise consistently & be efficient enough that my house stays tidy & organised while I fit in this busy work schedule around my mummy duties. I also want to ensure I keep communicating with the dream guy so our relationship stays positive.

 

Any tips GREATLY appreciated!!!

 

What are your goals for 2013, I would love to hear them, they keep me inspired.

 

CHEERS
