Ok, so it's not all bad, but it's been a bad year
I won't be overly expository here, but...weighing it out...
Bad Things, in no particular order:
1. Hubby's spinal surgery and yearlong/ongoing recovery
2. Rachel having a extended terrible twos. She's 6. Years, that is. (That at least is getting a bit better...I think...)
3. Work getting more stressful and unpleasant
4. Stepsister died
5. Stepdad died. This one especially leaves a void, he was one of the sweetest people I know, and the kids loved him too.
6. Hubby's great aunt died
7. Co-worker lead in my area quit, leading to more of #3.
8. Hubby being worried about his job's long term prospects too
But there are good things too, I would just appreciate 2011 moving on out so that maybe we can have a year where something terrible and stressful isn't overshadowing all the rest.
Some good things, again in no particular order:
Rachel was tested for and will start in the gifted childrens program in the fall.
Hubby *IS* recovering - we've gotten far enough so that we started going back to the gym.
Family that is caring and supportive
We got two adorable kittens about a month ago. They might be the sweetest kittens ever. Even Macy is starting to not hate them. Hubby won't let me go back and adopt their brother though :|
Karate has been a good activity so far, the most suprising thing is that I'm still doing it too!
