Forever January will be a month of new beginnings for me. Everyone gets that vibe at the start of the year, I suppose, but it especially rings true for me since Reid arrived on January 1st. It’s just all so new and although I feel like I’m perpetually behind, it’s refreshing to turn the calendar to a new year and begin again. Moms love fresh starts. This is probably why I’m a big believe in nap time … it’s like getting two wake ups, two opportunities to start again, all in one day! Now, the first month of the new year is practically over! Which also means I’m on the brink of having a 1 month old! HOW?!?
Somehow, amidst a month of a new baby, car accident, lots of car shopping thanks to said accident, and touch and go illness I managed to keep up with a handful of work assignments. If they don’t make sense, please don’t blame me, I’m running on very little sleep and possibly a negative amount of energy!
