2009 in review

Wow – in 3 days it will be a new year and a new decade! I am shocked that these past 10 years have gone this fast…

This year has been a strange one. I’ve learned a lot this past year and needless to say, I’m going to take what I’ve learned and use it forever.

This year there has been some backstabbing, not only to me but to some important in my life. There has been badmouthing, and what makes me mad about that, is my son was the subject of some of this and that pissed me off to no end. What gives an adult the right to talk about someone else’s child? I am not going to go into detail, but I hope they’ve learned from their mistake. Liars – well…not only was I lied to but some others in my life were as well and it sucks when someone likes right to your face and then expect you to forgive and forget…well I did do some forgiving, but I will never forget, ever. Drama – plain and simple – the drama was surrounded by negative people and I’m glad to say that my drama has been gone since the end of summer and it feels great! I mean there’s been a little – but nothing so dramatic that it is going to piss me off, ha! Let’s see, I’ve had my ex contact me twice - funny! Made it to my 10 year wedding anniversary – lol. Kids made it to the 10th grade… :). Gained 2 new hats, NJROTC treasurer and VAC Secretary. Reconnected with some friends in NC & relived some memories and even reenacted a memory – shaving cream fight! Had a wonderful time at NASLL’s first annual Carni-ball – with some whipped cream too! Made new friends, got rid of some old ones who were a bit negative. Finally told people in my family how I felt and they still don’t get it.

I’m sure there’s more, but my memory sucks, but 2010 is going to be the beginning of a wonderful life for me, took me 37 years to figure out, but finally I did it!

I need to go and I think this is my last post of 2009, so look for me in 2010!

Long Time No Blog…

Wow, it’s been a long time since I’ve posted. Been busy I guess!

Let’s see…since my last post, just been busy with getting ready for the Holiday Season, and playing taxi to the kids!

RJ has been busy with NJROTC stuff at school. He had a drill meet a few weeks ago and I was able to watch it, it was phenomenal! I was very impressed with the drill team. No dropped weapons at all and it was very unique. He was doing wrestling then decided not to continue with it because of NJROTC, which keeps him busy.

Janie has been busy practicing her Cello and they had their Winter Concert last week and it was amazing. She is still involved with softball, but not as much since it is winter time. She finished up with her Cross Country stuff, whew!

Recently Janie drove to the mall and had a little fender bender, nothing bad and it was in the parking lot, so no damage, just some paint trading. She is okay and is back to driving.

Let’s see…oh Family! HA! I have to get this off my chest, just because I’m huge on family and no one in my family understands. I am 1 of 10 cousins, I have 4 who are older, and my older sister and 4 who are younger. I feel like I don’t have any cousins really, and that did upset me for a long time, until recently. I have many people in my life who I consider family. I have always wanted a large family, but I only have my 2 kids, but I’ve become mom to several others and that makes me feel good. I have friends who are close enough to me that I call my sisters/brothers, and my kids can call them aunts/uncles. I just wish that my dad and his siblings would get over whatever their issues are and talk. I would love to have a family reunion and get my aunts and uncle together and their kids and their kids. It would be fun to get to know my younger cousins and maybe show my older cousins that it is okay to claim me, not saying they don’t, but at least acknowledge the fact that I do exist. It’s all good though, like I said before, I have my friends who are more of my family to me!

2010 is around the corner and that means changes for me. I’ve said this 100 times before but this time I mean it. They are good changes, I think. My last post for 2009 will be my changes for 2010 and then I will start my new blog for 2010, http://letgolaughing2010.blogspot.com/. This blog will still be up, because I may have to refer back to it, but I need a fresh start on my blog for 2010!

So for right now, HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
