New Years Day 2013

Well apologies for being supremely stereotypical and having another go at writing my blog on New Years Day...
It just happens that I woke up at 4:30 this morning so have been entertaining myself on my phone and Facebook, other blogs, twitter and Instagram just aren't cutting it!

Too many people posting about drinking and partying and telling the world how much they love their families (though I wonder if they told their families?)

So here I sit and what do I have to say?

Just a vague reflection of life? A 'be grateful' for 2012 and reflect upon it, then make unrealistic goals for 2013? Sure! Why not?!

So to be completely self-serving, my personal achievements in 2012 were:
- housework. I was beginning to see it as daily things to do rather than the trial by fire I'd always tried to get out of. I even baked?! Homemaker goddess goal achieved.
- made another baby. Well to be honest that one was ridiculously easy. Embarrassingly so. But there it grows! Causing all sorts of pregnancy fun. Ps. I'm not a fan.
- I run!! Well, I ran! 8km most weekends around the river. I got to a point that it wasn't too hard! Hoping to get back there and increase my fitness after this baby... No many post-baby running fantasies...

Okay so biggest challenge?
- pregnancy. Blah. Hate it. Ick. Never again.

Nothing earth shattering, but whose is? I'm feeling very disconnected to the masses who are partying themselves silly and waking up with grand relationship/fitness/career goals... And not in an 'I'm better than them' way. In a WOAH, I'm so far from that path I'm having trouble even seeing it...

Nice to leave behind the expensive NYE outfit, the $100s of dollars gone and the smell of mass drinking on NY morning.

This year, I'll enjoy my pancakes but not because I'm trying to cute a hangover.
