Some helpful instructions from my 2009 self to my 2010 self.
1. Don't bother eating Cap'n Crunch cereal. You think you like it, but actually, you don't. Try to remember.
2. Have this baby. Do it in mid-to-late February. Do it pretty much the way you did Johnny's birth.
3. Go easy on yourself. No one is as perfect as you think they are. And even if they were, you don't have to measure up to them.
4. Go easy on Charlie. He's only four and, gosh, he's great.
5. Go easy on all the poor incompetent strangers you might come across.
6. Try making some new ice cream flavors. Burnt Caramel Gelato, anyone?
7. Go somewhere. Plan a road trip or two and make it happen. Gotta see what that dark green money-pit can do out on the open road, right?
8. When you look at your kids (and husband guy for that matter) try to actually see them. You'll enjoy them a lot more that way.
Love you! You can do it! (Remember that I said that!)

I don't like Cap'n Crunch either. I used to...especially the peanut butter ones. Now - no flavor, no crunch. Jerk Cap'n. Good luck and best wishes for your 2010.
Cap'n Crunch. Good heavens! Did I ever, I mean ever, serve that to you for breakfast?
Cap'n Crunch tears up the roof of my mouth.
Love your guidelines for 2010, you can do them!
I think we should try and get together sometime before this babe of yours is born...and as soon as my fam is all healthy.
Elk Grove would be a wonderful destination for a road trip. We have plenty of room and promise you'll eat well! Good luck with 2010 goals!
I love reading your blog. It somehow reminds me of some of my own feelings (past and present). The thing that got me through adjusting to three (which I am still doing) is that life goes on and I can only do the best I can! I stress the point the best I can!
