WTF 2021! Why are you trying to compete with 2020?! I really thought 2020 was going to be a hard one to top but looks like 2021 was up for the challenge. It said…watch this.
This year we brought home our new puppy, we lost our sweet Henry. After back-and-forth online, in person learning for the kids, The school year started all back to in person. We were able to go visit family in New Jersey and celebrate birthdays, we were able to go on a family vacation. We sold the house where we started our lives together and we raised our babies. Matthew getting braces. Me falling all the way off the healthy bandwagon. We also had the scare of a lifetime, emergency room visits, 911 call, ambulance and firetrucks arrive at the house. We had scary late night emergency runs, surgery, Quick turnaround flights and a whole slew of pure raw emotion.
Now that the year is wrapping up I’m praying for only good times ahead. Christmas shopping, birthday shopping(for Matthew, 11!) I planned a birthday party, school book swap, school winter parties, Ollie just turned 1, and mom is back for the rest of the year.
The very bitter sweetness of this year has me torn but so thankful. They always say you can’t have the good without the bad but I’m pretty sure this bad nearly broke me emotionally. Never have I felt so alone, never have I felt so confused, so lost and so helpless.
But now looking back we overcame it all together, as a family. But listen 2022, don’t get no mofo ideas! She ain’t playing with it, Go easy on me!
