I know I don't blog for my many followers, I do it more for myself. The writing is therapeutic, and it is mine. And right now, there is not a lot I can call my very own!
My new blog will be a space for me to continue to challenge myself to be selfish. Namely, I want to regain the essential part of my identity which has been missing for a little while ... fitness, health, competition. I don't want to be a martyr anymore, complaining about how I sacrifice for my job and family, raising a toddler. So yesterday while driving in the car with Colin, after actually having gone to the pool and swam by myself, I declared my new years resolution: "I'm going to be more selfish!"
Lately, I've been working my spirit to bone, teaching kindergarten, raising a toddler and being pregnant, leaves NO energy left for me. And it has sucked, so I have two more months of work until I'm off on mat leave and I couldn't be more excited to end the "All work, no play" chapter in my life.
But first a few pics... (I know not a good start for my selfish endeavour!)
We took these in the fall, our first attempt at family photos... thanks to mom for taking them! Even though we were too late for the colourful leaves, they still look pretty good.
I'm dressed ready for a funeral... trying to look as small as possible! Not easy in the first half of pregnancy, you just look fat before your belly "pops".
This one is my favourite! Reed and dad having fun... but look who's grumpy-pants in the background! It makes me laugh every time!
