Onto 2014


Happy New Year!

We spent New Year's Eve at pajama party, who wouldn't want to ring in the new year in pj's!?! Best idea ever! We all made the countdown to New Year's in New York, I think it's been a good 3 or 4 years since we made it to midnight here in the Midwest. MJ was a rock star staying up late. It wasn't until 11:30pm when we were starting to pack up to leave that when his meltdown hit. I don't blame him, he was the last kid and we were the last couple to leave thanks to the hubs! MJ realized all his friends were gone, no more stimulation and the lack of sleep caught up with him. Poor kid made mommy pay for it New Year's Day morning.

Onto this year's goals....
I have big hopes and dreams for 2014.
Endless possibilities wait ahead of us. I have no doubt it will be filled with some major ups and downs but I'm wager to start filling in some pages. This year I broke down my goals in categories for me personally, health wise, for my family, for just MJ, and for the hubs.
