I am homesick. It didn't really hit until last night, but there's nothing Chris can do until Sunday. I haven't brought it up with my dad yet, since there's no official plan, but maybe I'll be going home this weekend. Thing that sucks is, if I do go home, our plans for Vegas are cancelled because we can't afford two trip this far north. We'll have to come up with something else to do for our anniversary. Which always tends to suck, because he never plans things ahead, only a week or so before. I won't get into that though.

I'm mostly interested in going home, because of Anika. I'm worn out. Usually, when we're at home. I'll let her cry it out. If she's been changed, fed, played with, slept, and she's still crying over nothing and then giggling about it two seconds later, like she has been doing for days now, I just let her cry it out until she figures out how amuse herself. But here, I feel obligated to keep her quiet. My dad seems tired of it and I don't blame him and he keeps commenting on how the neighbors can probably here her. I'm tired of trying to entertain her every second of the day, when her crying is mostly due to the frustration that I won't let her get into things or put whatever she wants into her mouth. She's crawling now and she's a pain. She hates sitting in her playpen. She's becoming spoiled and expects me to do everything for her, even things as simple as sit her up when she's laid down. She's capable of getting up herself. I'm just tired and I miss my old routine, which had been working for us. I also miss my husband. It isn't like I'm here because life sucks, I do have a home and a life back in Queen Creek, that I put on hold and feel left out of.

Okay, so New Years resolutions. Mine are focused on my writing, because I really need to start wrapping things up then start looking into the publishing process.

1. Finish Julian completely this year, all edits and have a manuscript ready to send out.
2. Finish Caitlyn, and possibly have it in the same state, ready to send eventually.
3. I need to finish editing Ethan and adding in more detail, better sentence structure and a more full storyline. 50,000 words isn't going to cut it.
4. I need to come up with titles for my books.
5. I would like to be able to finish all those prompts I have this year.
6. read 50 books, ha yeah I'm trying that again.
7. Participate in project 365, which is a picture a day. I've already started but I won't be able to upload them until I get home. ~365@IJ.COM
8. Educate myself of my profession. I need to know the ropes. I need to know what I'm involved in.

I think that's about it. As for personal goals, I would like to survive the year without the annual summer emotional break down, due to the heat. We are also in the process of getting things together to move to Kentucky at the end of our lease. Kelly's hopefully coming out in June and there are so many things I want to show her!
