Wait..What? Now I forgot what I was gonna write....Anyway, finances are finally under control (for now) and I just moved into a new house in a great area that I never, ever expected to live in. We were supposed to be in a few days before Thanksgiving but a week before Christmas wasn't so bad.

I'm happy about finding this forum and interacting with you great people.:)

Discovery! finally.

Thank you to everyone on this forum.

2008 was one ******* of a year, and I am glad that it will be over soon. But there were a few very bright spots, and they were almost all related to this forum.

I am extremely thankful for the friendships that I developed here this year. I'm not sure how I would have survived 2008 were it not for people like Addaway (I'm working on luring him back, btw), Grafter, Meadd823, Kilted_Scotsman, SuzzanneX, Retromancer, Niafarai, and Driver, to name a few.

I am glad to be alive, healthy, wea;thy and happy. BUT thank **** its over.

Need I say more? :D :cool:

2008 has been our best year yet, and here's hoping I can say that at the end of every year.

So much to be grateful for.

- to improved development in my sons verbal and expressive language. he's still behind but has come SO much further than I anticipated. and is progressing at a faster rate than a year ago.
- to improved behaviors with age and appropriate medication and behavior management. he still has occasional slip ups, but they are much less frequent. much credit is deserved by my little one, it's tough for him.
- a job that understands that life exists outside of it and a boss who never makes me feel as though I have to choose work over taking good care of my son. I tell you, no amount of extra pay could replace the stress that has been lifted off of me.
- to quitting drinking in January and haven't had a drop of alcohol since.
- to quitting smoking in November and no relapses. One of the most difficult things I've ever done.

Goals for the new year:

-re-evaluate my expectations of my sons ability to learn. i've really underestimated him and i think that may have held him back by not challenging him more.
-try my dernedest to walk the thin line of challenging my son while not overwhelming him
-and the usual, exercise more. geeze.

Let's just say that 2009 will be better.

2008 in review:


Hired in February. (Didn't really like job, but it was great to have something!)
Moved in May to new apartment.
Philly Lindy Love (dance event I helped organize) was successful.
Roommate flaked out, and I had to find another roommate who moved in August. (fantastic roommate!)
Started dancing tango again.
College friend's wedding
Brother's wedding
Cousin's wedding
Fired at the end of October. (Scary in this economic climate, but I really hated that job, so maybe it's for the best.)
Started dating current boyfriend on Halloween.
New roommate found out in December that the trust that was funding her scholarship went bankrupt and will be paying tuition, but not living expenses. Start searching for new roommate again.

So there were some good things this year. I may not have liked the job, but at least I was hired. Several weddings were nice events. Philly Lindy Love went well, and I met a great guy. I struggled with depression this year, but I went and sought out help finally in October, so that is progress, and I'm seeing a counselor now. Hoping to get into grad school for library science this year. Need to focus and study! (Eeek!)

:) It's over, I get to try again:)

:) It's over, I get to try again:)

I HEAR THAT!
AND SECOND IT!
oh yes!
wow, SO LITTLE WORDS, SO MUCH MEANING!:D

freedom to live our lives again ~ my baby graduated high school, making her (technically) her own adult person.

i met the man i love <3

change much much change. with my daughter moving out and to north carolina this has been the hardest change of all.

Was a heck of a developmental year. Tons of *aha!* moments (in all areas of my life), most of which stuck. Started off really rough... ended calmly. Sorted out a lot of crap. Had a couple MAJOR learning experiences and learned just how fortunate I really am.

Feelin' good about '09.
