Day 194: The first day of the year

Today was one of those days that I really hope does not set the tone for the rest of the year. Everyone always places so much weight on the first day of the new year and believes that in order to have a great year, you have to have a great first day. I have tried to buy into that and make every year good by starting out well, but, every year, that has failed. No matter how good or "perfect" that first day is, the year does what it is going to do. There are ups and downs in the year and no matter how clean my house is on that first day, it always manages to get messed up and I have to deal with it.

So, today my house was not immaculate like I wanted, all of my laundry wasn't folded and put away, and my kids did not listen to a word I said. This first day of the new year, I spent it away from the love of my life and worried about him. So basically there is no way that today is just a taste of what the year has for me. This year, I my husband will come home, my house will be kept up, and not everyday will be a bad day where the kids don't listen. They will have good days too. So, despite how difficult today was, it is not the tell-all of my year. I won't let it be.

Another day done, just getting that much closer to seeing my husband again. Here is to the start of the year my husband comes home. 2012 will be a great year.
