1) What did you do in 2011 that you'd never done before?
Took a baby on an airplane! and a helicopter for that matter. Both terrifying but for different reasons. Plane: afraid Bobby would act terrible, scream, cry, I would receive death glares from passengers. Helicopter: You are much more aware of how HIGH and how dangerous what you are doing really is!
Took a WHOLE week's vacation after Christmas...MUST REPEAT every year. HEAVEN!
2) Did you keep your new year's resolutions, and will you make more for next year.
Last Year: Get out and be more social...I am soo bad about being a home body and I am afraid life is going to pass me by!
Success....I did get out more (in comparsion to the year before anyway). I took a trip out of my comfort zone and I tried to length the cord between Bobby and I a little bit. I will always be an obsessive mother...but I tried to remember who "I" am as well.
This year: Stop cussing.
