We said Good bye to 2010 at home with a few buddies from James' work. Some of our closest friends weren't able to make it, but that is ok. We had a good time! And it was nice for all of us. We had finger foods, and played games and just enjoyed being here.
But as I reflect back on the year of 2010, there was some good points and things, but it was over all a very HARD, ROUGH, and not so good year!!!! The worst year I have ever had in many ways! It was just unbelievable at the ugliness, illness, pain, anger, and everything else I could mention here! It was full of heart ache. Happy moments were over shadowed by some kind of negative! It was horrible! But in the end of it, a few really good things did happy... (Stay tuned to see those)..... So with all that I am really looking forward to 2011!
Started on Jan 1 with me being sick and stuck in bed.
Jan was full of trapped out days, due to weather, for Daddy!
We finally had Lil K’s 2nd Birthday party, a bit late.
Mommy burned her eyes with a flash fire at the fire place.
We did get lots of days to play in the snow and ice.
Feb, back home (
March we saw Lil K’s adoption!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So thankful Mom and Dad were able to be with us!
April, For the first time in 2 years hubby and I had a date without kiddos! WOW! And he took me to see Bret Michaels! AWESOME!
Was spent with progression of my pseudo tumor cerebri. Now we were seeing passing out spells and much more. Not a good thing.
April ended bringing me several recruits for my Scentsy Team!!!! Woot Woot!!!!
May comes along, and it was ER trips, huge knot on the back of my head, no more driving far distances, if much at all. Tons of new really yuck health stuff.
May was our family reunion, again a trip to the ER!
June more medical drama!
A trip home because my sister was fighting for her life!
But then it didn’t stop there, now Lil K is in the ER, being admitted to the hospital, and surgery!
Father’s Day we weren’t even with Daddy. We were still away with my family.
July was filled with mini trips while we had company, so glad
Another round of ER and doctor trips to now have Neuralgia in my head!
Met my parents half way, so they could keep the girls while I was away! They wanted this time, and I needed them. Who would know it was my very last time to see my mom in a happy healthy normal way! Would I have let them head home so soon? Would I have ever stopped hugging her?
A trip to
Aug started out, so so! Nothing to exciting either way really, until what?
The doctors tell me that they think I have cancer! NO NO NO!
Sept starts with insurance drama! CT scans aren’t approved and surgery is postponed.
Sept 7, Mom called and said I have a headache and I am going to bed. I always love you, baby girl!!!!
Sept 8, she was horrible sick! Rushed to the ER and what? Being put in ICU.
Sept 9, she was put on life support! What a horrible trip to get there!!!! It took me way to long to get the hospital to my Momma!!!!!
Sept 11, Lil E's birthday, spent at the hospital! But she did get to see Mamaw!
James gets that the news that our location is shutting down, and we have to transfer again! We did pray for the location and home of our choice! We asked God for his favor in this!
I was a total wreck during this time and I almost lost myself in many ways!
Sept 20, We turned life support off and Momma passed on. I layed in her arms until her last breaths.
Sept 23, we laid her to rest. Forever in our hearts! We love you, Momma/ Mamaw!
Sept 26, we headed home after being there so long. I cried all the way home, especially when it was times for momma to call.
Sept 27, back to life and how do I do this????
I threw myself into house hunting!! Hopeing this would help me.
Oct 2, we got the call, my brother in law was in critical condition, and having seizures lasting over 5 minutes. They found his brain tumor.
Oct 8, my brother in law’s surgery and my surgery.
My mass in the neck was NOTHING major, just a cyst! God proved he was still in charge, not what the doctors thought!
Best news comes that my brother in laws tumor was NOT Cancer!!! Praise God!!!!!!!
Oct 16 my niece got married! A big happy moment for our family!!! Just was the first super special moment without Momma. So hard.
Missed Halloween trick or treating because our stupid town changed it. The girls were so disappointed.
Nov~ ended what I thought was a real and special friendship! But learned the hard way, it wasn’t! And by far that I had been played!!!!
Nov, went to help with the garage sale so Dad could downsize. Watching Mom’s stuff go was bitter sweet. She would be happy it was going to help others, but hard to see it all going too.
Thanksgiving, we stayed home, and had our friends over. It was nice.
Lil K's birthday! My Baby isn't a baby anymore!
Dec, On our 11 years anniversary. And we found our house for us to move to!!! Yeah!!!
OH slow down, not going to all go GREAT, truck troubles, RC Engine issues, and issues around the house!
Dec, filled with lots of special memories and activities getting ready for Christmas, such as baking, bow making, crafts, watching movies, enjoying Christmas Lights, and much more together as a family!
Mom’s headstone arrived and was set up the 21st!
Busy packing and was sick. What a way to end the year.
In all this, I have been reunited with a few people from my past!
And in it all a dear friend and I reconciled after being a part for nearly 2 years over something so stupid and trivial!!! Both too stubborn to realize what we had until we thought it was gone. So thankful that God brought us back! And that he reunited me with some other important people!
That’s just a highlight of the 2010 year! So to say the least, I am ready for 2010 to be over!
On to 2011, I have great expectations and I’m ready to see it here!!! I’m excited for what is coming our way!
What’s coming in 2011 ~
I am excited for our Move! Our new home awaits! And I can’t wait to decorate it up and make it all awesome for us. It’s going to have a lot of cowgirl stuff. I can’t wait.
