2010: The Year from Hell
Tuesday, July 27th, 2010So far, 2010 has not been a great year . . .
In January:
- Kimberlie’s mother died
In February:
- Mackenzie gets kid-mono. Between the two of us, we spent almost two weeks away from work, doing nothing but this:
In March:
- We went through a tough eating-out hiatus.
- T-ball. Need I say more?
In April:
- Tristan learns to stick things where they don’t belong.
- Tristan has a major accident during a day trip.
- I went to the doctor (for the first time in 20 years).
In May:
- A house catastrophe.
- No raises at work.
In June:
- I ended up in 2 graduate classes during a 4-week summer semester. Of course, I ended up with A’s, but it was a tough month.
- Mackenzie ended up sick (and very irritable) for half of our trip to Philadelphia.
And now, July:
- The cat chewed up my Macbook power cord.
- We lost our “free” cable and I my iPhone and digital camera went for a swim . . . in the same week.
- Ants seem to invade a different room of our house everyday.
Of course, there are things that have been happening (or not) all year:
- The stock market has really sucked for the last few months.
- I’m 31 and still not rich enough to retire.
- Publisher’s Clearinghouse still hasn’t knocked on my door.
Don’t get me wrong. I still love my life. But even number years just never work out for us. 2008 was equally as bad. 2007 and 2009 were fabulous. Let’s hope I can make it through the next five months alive!
