No particular order, but probably one of the worst years of my life (I've had worse things happen, but good God this year was just one thing after another:
1. Seeing my daughter lose 4 friends to suicide in less than 3 months, and then a 5th in a drive by shooting meant for someone else - on his birthday. I can't describe the effects these events have had on her and who she is.
2. Ended a relationship that I thought was "real" - and having my heart broken making me feel (and probably act) like a teenager. Humiliating...but very educational.
3. Meeting Mamarazzi - who has become by far one of my closest friends and I will forever remember the S#!+ we've been through this year and how we got through it all together. Without her I don't know what I would have done.:kiss:
4. Vacation with Mamarazzi ! Wooooo hooooooooo! Probably the best part of my year. :cheering:
5. Went back to my hometown after being away for 20 years. Had an amazing time and got to see old friends and where my mother is buried. Very bittersweet trip.
6. Made lots of friends on Fierceboard and some of them have become friends in real life! I'm so glad I found this place...where I can fight battles where it seems we will fight to the death...and still be friends the next day. :starwars:
7. MY DAUGHTER GRADUATED HIGH SCHOOL!!!!! 7 months early because we switched to home/online schooling. :chestbump:
8. Spent my first Christmas without my kids since they were born. I was supposed to go to Paris with my sister so the kids headed off to grandma's house for xmas, but my job rejected my request for time off. (see #10 for why this is now 100 times more annoying...):banghead:
9. My sister's cat died the day after Christmas - I know...doesn't seem like a big deal, but that cat was HER LIFE (like a child...) so it's a pretty deal around here.
10. And now...thanks to my boss, JUST IN TIME for the end of the year I have managed to squeak in a last second entry for this year: Lost my job. :help:
