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.:eek:
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:
