But I figured I would do a year in review of sorts. . .
Some favorite posts of mine from each month that has gone by. . .
This time last year Randall was in the hospital fighting a flare up of gastroparesis. So already things are starting to look up.
In January we had several visits to the hospital and I wrote about the one time that I let my armor crack. I also had a talk with Kaylee about boobs. That girl is something else.
In February, I realized that I have the tools at hand to keep Kaylee in the loop, where her Daddy is concerned, when he is sick and in the hospital.
March rolled around and with the nudging from a friend, I tried writing with The Red Dress Club (now known as Write on Edge). My first attempt was writing memoir about a room from my past. A few days later I stepped out of my comfort zone and tried my hand at fiction. A fiction post about water. . . How it can give life or how it can take life away. . .
March is also my birthday month, so I shared a memory from my nineteenth birthday. The memory of a gift given that I wasn't totally prepared for. . .
April. . . Well, April I didn't blog very much. But I did find some new found respect for my MIL. I also went on a field trip with Kaylee's class to a local rock quarry and found an awesome rock. There also may have been a post about Kaylee being able to peel the paint off the walls with her farts. . . But don't take my word for it. Heh.
In May we celebrated Kaylee's ninth birthday. I also wrote about losing touch with my BFF from high school, missing my sister and making one of the hardest decisions I have ever made.
June brought around me complaining about the weather, my first guest post and the last day of school.
In July, I talked about the Fourth, Ten Thought Tuesday style. I also talked about how I'm not a fan of other people's kids, how one time, I thought Taco Bell was feeding hookers and then I got serious and talked about one of my miscarriages. . .
August brought around another bout with pneumonia for my Mom. She was hospitalized. It also showed me the dysfunction that is my family.
September came around with the first day of school. Kaylee got sick half-way through the month and about drove me nuts and I wrote a letter to my Mom.
I spent the beginning part of October avoiding everything and ended it looking for my voice. . .
We started November off with an awkward and embarrassing moment. Then I was diagnosed with diabetes. And I ended the month wondering something that I think every Mom wonders at least once while their kids are growing up. . .
December started with a giggle {because I might be a little crazy} and I like to tweet. I shared memories from a day that changed my life forever. I also shared memories from a time when I made some pretty bad decisions.
And that wraps up the year.
It wasn't as bad as I remember it being.
But I am still ready to see 2011 hit the road.
How about you?
