2012 in Review

The year 2012 is almost over, and good riddance.

This year started off on a bad note. Today, one year ago, was the last time I saw my aunt in person before she got put into a coma. I talked to her on New Year's, and my last words to her were 'I'll call you later.' When I tried to call back, she had gone into distress and they had put her into a medical coma.

I'm not expecting the next week to be easy. I'm going through a lot of emotions. Husband is too. But I'm doing like I usually do and try to be strong for everyone. For example, I have to take Little Miss and Husband to the doctor today. Little Miss has a cough that won't go away and I suspect Husband has the flu. For once, I'm the healthy one, having just gotten over a sinus infection.

My house got broken into this year, and while it sucked, they didn't take anything that can't be replaced. And I got a job for the first time since 2010 as well, but when Husband (finally) got hired, our schedule's conflicted too much and I ended up leaving my job to stay at home with Little Miss. Not that I minded so much. Working nights and taking care of a four year old were a bit more than I could handle, especially since we couldn't really afford daycare.

My grandmother got sick and ended up having to be put into a nursing home, where she will more than likely be for the rest of her life. This kills her, I know. She's 97 and such an independent woman. She hates being at the nursing home, but she knows it's for the best.

There have been so many more things I could bitch about that happened this year, but one big thing that is a good positive - Husband finally got his job. He loves his job, enjoys working and providing for us and I'm glad he does. Not because I don't like working, but because I know he wasn't happy sitting at home doing nothing all day. We've also decided that I can go back and get my CNA license and possibly go back to work when Little Miss starts school, though I'm still undecided on if that's what I really want to do yet or not.  I suppose we'll just see what happens. After all, she doesn't start school until August anyway.

God, she'll be five. Five! She's getting so big...I told Husband that I'll probably mope around all day the first day of school. He laughed.

Here's to hoping 2013 has more good than bad. Hope everyone else has a Happy New Year.
