Happy New Year

Wow, two months since the last post! Abi goes to school and WHAM I'm busy! Who knew? I guess everyone who has had kids go to school...

It's not that Abi being at school has made me busy, it's just with my new schedule at work, and trying to find the time to spend with abi has quashed a lot of our free time...plus facebook ;)

This time last year, I resolved not to resolve, and I have to say, it worked! This year though, I am back at the old tradition...minus the lose weight part...I'm fat and loving it ;)

So, what did 2007 bring? besides a truckload of shit? Well, I guess lessons learned...which is always a valuable thing and makes a person who they are...so worth the shit? Maybe, but not entirely.

2007's Moments:

• The hubby got a nose job of sorts...course a year later it hasn't helped much in the snoring department.
• I survived the threat of a union strike...and didn't have to freeze the nipples off!
• Had yet another dearly loved family member pass away...who we are still mourning and missing very much.
• A year supply of abigailism's which will never be forgotten!! That kid is the joy of my heart and makes me laugh SO MUCH!
• Had my first annual St. Patty's day family celebration...even had a few leprechauns visit!
• Got abi registered and accepted into a great school
• Had my HUSBAND correct my spelling...ouch.
• Found out I was pregnant, and spent three days in shock.
• Lost the baby, and spent the entire summer questioning God.
• Got in a great number of fires and bottles of wine over the summer with wonderful friends.
• AGAIN had the reality check of life, spent many nights and days in tears and wondering if God was listening at all, while we almost lost an amazing, wonderful and true friend.
• Spent a month in shock watching my 'baby' get on a school bus!
• Got to spend ringing in 2008 with that true friend at the Keg...and actually at the restaurant, not in the hospital with take out boxes like originally planned!
• Thanked God for the miracles of this life, His love for us, and most of all, for answered prayer.

So here's to kissing off 2007 and hoping 2008 brings in more giggles, and gut-wrenching laughs, and truly amazing, wonderful, and awesome memories!

The resolutions? Well:

• to accept what life brings...all of it
• to really work at finally forgiving and forgetting the hurt that was brought on by a person who I mistakenly held on a very high pedestal for way too long, 10 years ago...especially when they don't even know how much and how they hurt me.
• to focus on my family here in Winnipeg, who have been here for me in so many ways and who I love deeply.
• to put the past in the past and not care anymore about it. They live their lives and I need to live mine.
• to do more housework...yikes did I just actually write that down??? and I'm not even drunk!
• to work on my lack of patience...I said WORK ON IT.
• to save some money

tune in next year to see how this all turned out! HA.

Well, to those I love and hold dear to my heart, I wish you all the very best 2008 has to bring you, happy memories to add and share, GREAT HEALTH, and happiness, true happiness.

Peace,
