Better in 2015

That is my goal and my resolution.  I've already done the kind of resolution-y things I would always resolve to do at the new year and then not do.  I see people I enjoy on the regular and I get regular exercise.  Those are big ones.  I made the doctor's appointments I've needed for years.  I think I'm hitting the balance between working hard at my job and not too hard.  I'm enjoying the company of my daughter and she is enjoying my company.  I know 4 is hard for many kids, but 4 is treating LB great.

2015 will be a year of resolution.  By 2016, I should be living in my own place with LB.  I will be divorced.  Hopefully I will still be running and writing.  Hopefully I will be dating and I will feel like I have a good community.

Where this blog fits in I'm not quite sure.  I'm writing very little here because I've been working on off-line writing projects that are more satisfying for me right now, and also because with everything I write here I need to think about what a family court judge would think.  B and I are both committed to joint custody and co-parenting, but it would be stupid to pretend that I'm not parenting in public on this blog.

(As I write this LB is singing a song she made up about "LB and mommy and mama have family time," what a cuteapuss!)

  1. The approach you have to this upcoming year is inspiring. I love that you seem to have accepted where you are in life and, more importantly, where you plan to be a year from now. That takes bravery.

    Your comment about the blog being "parenting in public" is interesting to me. I truthfully have never thought about it that way. As usual, you've given me something to think on.
