Here are 10 things I realized in 2010:

1. When I exercise, I lose weight.

2. Buying clothes for my kids is a lot more fun than buying them for myself.

3. The more money we make, the more expensive the breakdowns. (We’ve had a car accident deductible to pay this year, as well as a HVAC repair, a blown transmission, and now a $3,000 tooth.)

4.   I can only do one project per weekend. It is impossible for me to get more than one thing done.

5. When I don’t go to the store with a list, I come home with a trunk full of junk.

6. The stresses of getting out the door on time in the morning are greatly decreased when I get up 30 minutes earlier.

7. I, for the first time since we moved to Texas, feel like I’ve developed some quality relationships with other women.

8. Organization in my environments allows me to thrive.

9. I’d love to have another baby, but that will not be a reality for me/us. (Actually, I’d prefer to have 2 more babies.)

10. God is evident in my life and provides signs and blessings around every corner. I struggle with not being worthy of all that is in my life, but it is teaching me to love unconditionally.
