2010 in Review...
Happy New year. I can't believe I'm saying that already. Where did that year go! It is normal that I do a year in review. I have not been as good about posting as keeping up with my life as I should have. I have let it go by the way side. I have 4 now to do and if I do it more often I would not have as many problems.
So all that said, this is going to be a review of the last year. I have had a hard time keep up with everything since Mary was born. Whose fault is that? Well mine to say the least. I have been horrible at doing what I should do.
My reading started out great for the year. I got close to my goal of 40 books. I had 3 books I started and did not finish. I finished with 39 books.
Mary was born in February. She will be my last baby. It has been hard to watch her grow up. She has been a great baby. She was easy to take care of. It has been hard doing laser with her, but okay for the most part.
Amelia had another trip to check for pneumonia and then started seeing a plumary doctor to have her possible asthma looked into. Then she started medication for it. It has been an up and down trip for that. She also had a sweat test and lots of fun with that. I also got a trip to the ER with for her hurting her neck and a stay in the hospital as well. Amelia also did potty training and was potty trained. She did it when she wanted to.
Rose has made great progress this year. I call it the year of progress for her. She is talking more and more and doing great with it. She got to be the big sister and do more and help mom lots. She liked to help.
I saw my mother 3 times this year. I saw her when Mary was born. For Mary's blessing and then for Rose's 5th Birthday party. It was a great time. I loved having her here. She had a few hard times, none harder than her having a car crash and ended up in the hospital in a neck brace. She is an amazing woman and has taught me so much. I would do another to fly out and just be with her for a few days. But it is not possible for me. She is wonderful and care for so many...more on this later.
Paul and I had a great year together. It was hard with is work being hard, but it is a wonderful year for us. I love him more and more each year. We have been in Massachusetts for 13 years now. We got to go out a few times thanks to friends who cared. It has been good.
I saw a few movies in the theater this year. I took my girls to their first movie in the theater. I'm ignoring when someone else took Rose. They don't exist any more. They made choices and now I'm am moving on. I saw Iron Man 2 and Toy Story 3. I have a few others I wanted to see, but netflix is okay to keep track of movies I want to see.
TV shows has been something interesting. I'm still watching Fringe, Top Chief, Doctor Who, Stargate Universe, Caprica and a few other that I can't think of. I started watching new parenthood, The walking Dead and a few others. I know I watch more than this. But it has been interesting. The Walking Dead is hard at times for me. I don't do well with those movies, but still like it for some reason. So lots of fun things.
So book club has been great. I love it and we did a few fun things this year. It has been something fun to have. I like it and just enjoy the company. Mary went with a few times and now is staying home. The first time she stayed home I cried the whole way there, but it was good for me. Lots of good books were read. I look forward to more of that.
The girls and I did lots of fun trips this year. We went to the Ecotarium a lot. A trip was also made to the butterfly place and then to the Museum of science. A few other little places in between. It was a fun trip for them and for me. I love seeing the butterflies and taking pictures of them and the girls. It has been so much fun for them to enjoy it. I also started taking them regularly to the library. They enjoyed that a lot. I think they look forward to it each week. They like their routines. We also went to the Walking with Dinosaur show and the girls loved it.
Something different for me is I started doing more school work and settings for the girls. It has been a long time coming and needed. It is not easing preparing each day for the school It has been each day we do something. It is never easy and yet I keep adding and doing more for it. I do it for Amelia and Rose. They both need the extra work. I also started doing some pre-reading work with Rose. It is never easy but worth it.
I have let cleaning and organizing go by the way side. So much of it needs to be done. I left to many projects undone in the last year. They need to be started up again. Nothing should stand in the way of working on it at least 1 hour a day. In one hour you can do more than you think when you put your mind to it.
Many friends have come and gone. I have gained many close friends and some others have just gone. It is something that happens over and over. It is not easy but it happens. I look forward to different and many things happening with friends in the future.
I have connected with many people on facebook. It has been fun and yet it is distant at the same time. I enjoy some of the games, but not other times. I'm working towards less on there, but it does keep me connected with a few people.
I have had many ups and downs. It has been hard to add a third child and yet at times it has been easy. They girls get along and play and Mary has been added into a lot of that. I'm enjoying them and their moving and being different. It has been a year of change and lots of doctors visits. I hope to have less doctors in 2011 but who knows what will happen.
This has been a year of change and adapting. I am as always glad when a year is behind me and I look forward to the next year. May it bring me happiness and many wonders to see.
