So it’s 2009…wait, what??!
Yep. It already is. Can you believe it? Craziness. I woke up this morning realizing it’s already the 8th and I hadn’t written a blog yet for this year. Man am I slow, heh.
Well, I have a bit of excuses…Stress, being pregnant, stress…oh wait, I listed that one already! But it’s definitely a factor in my and my hubby’s life right now. But what can one expect? We are living in a bedroom in my parent’s house, and it’s a crazy situation. We are trying to make the best of it. I give major props to husband–he’s a saint of patience (well, most times!), and good Catholic mind. And he has to deal with me! Crazy, pregnant, stubborn, stressed-to-the-nines, hating being here, not fully understanding my faith, etc…So he deals with a lot.
Plus, we’ve not been able to find him work yet, and it’s getting tough. Christmas we a disaster of stress, sickness, fighting, and over-all wastefulness. He was sick in bed with a terrible fever and stomach bug, I was morning sick all day, Long Island Sister and I were at each other’s throats…so yeah. The gifts were nice, but it was just chaos. As usual here. I wanted to much more for my first Christmas married, y’know?
But one thing I’m learning as a married woman in a poor, chaotic situation–I’ll have to settle for a lot. We live, we learn.
New Year’s was slightly better–ok, much, because one of my best friends from NY, who I’ve not seen in over a year, came down to visit, and ended up staying for 3 days, which was awesome! But there was a lot of tension between hubby and myself, and certainly parentals, so it made the visit a bit stressful. Poor guy, he’s a sweetheart. Ugh. I can’t wait to be out of this house!
But I am trying to find myself wasting less time this year, and have decided that I want to concentrate more on writing stories/my book than articles. It’s just not my thing. Not right now, anyway. I’ve been getting my letters written, trying to get the inclination back to draw again, and keep things clean in our little room. But I get so bored easily. There’s only so many movies we can watch and time we can waste…gaaaah!
We’re also talking about the whole moving thing…but that’s another blog for another time. Peter wants to stay in PA, I’d rather die!
I can’t believe it’s 2009 already. Of course I still keep writing ‘08 on my letters and such. It’ll catch up though. My resolution this year is to make something of my time, and to get more focused towards God’s will for my life. That’s all I can do…
