Almost ONE Year

Wow, Sky is almost a year old! I'm still organizing the pictures. I am making progress though. I didn't keep up with the "Memory Books" completely, but I filled in stuff here and there. I can't remember stuff, the year is sort of a blur. Yesterday she took 4 steps on her own! She loves the water and really loves her weekly swim class. Though I think she goes there just to hold on to the rubber toy goldfish. She has one in each fist the WHOLE entire time and will NOT let go without a hissy fit. I let her have them. That's what she thinks she is there for anyway. Maybe I'm too permissive. Oh there goes my "inadequacy as Mom" thing again. I'm getting better with it. I'm becoming more confidence. Now, when people give me advice, I just act interested while thinking to myself, "who cares?" Some of it's useful I guess. I do things my way. So does Skylar. And that's that.

Now I've Mommed for a year, and I'm catching up on "my" life. The most important thing to me all year was focusing on
Sky, but now I can "balance" her life and mine. Free time was spent organizing my house, getting things in order, just trying to accomplish basic things that used to be easy: cleaning, making dinner, getting through the mail and running errands. I am definitely not Super mom or super person or super anything. I don't care about that either!!

I have some goals: to finally take the test so I can get truly certified as a web master, to actually do some web stuff, organize my house and photos, lose some weight and get into shape, work on my family's house upstate, and have fun with Skylar of course.
