3 weeks into the new year, how are your resolutions?

I feel like I'm doing ok. I two resolutions, possibly 3 if you count the standing resolution that I have every year.

1) (the standing resolution) - open the mail.
2) be a good mom.
3) take responsibility for my frustration.

that third one encompasses quite a bit. it boils down to remembering that people can't read my mind. and instead of being all pissy to people when they don't do what i want, or expect, i am trying to communicate when i'm going nuts.

so far so good.

mr man, just now: "honey, did you find your stitch?"
me: huh, what? oh, uh, no, i'm done.
mr man: (as i type this) are you trying to google your stitch?

You have made something here more beautiful than I have every made. Little man J and the little coat. : )

Little man, in a little coat....

I think it's perfectly reasonable to expect people to read my mind--I can't do it for them! :)
