2009 really wasn't a horrible year for us for which I am thankful. My kids all fared pretty well. Addy was admitted to the hospital twice in February, which turned out to be a blessing since now she has in-home nursing care while we work!
Jarika probably had the roughest year of all of us, I am so hoping 2010 is MUCH better for her! I really don't see at this point how it can't be, she's going to turn 18 this month, she got accepted to the college that she wanted, is going to graduate in May and will be moving out before she knows it. It's bittersweet, I hate to see her go this summer, but I know it will be so wonderful for her to grow up some and enjoy all of the aspects of college life! 2010 does hold a lot of changes for our family when it comes to Jarika leaving our home and going to school, but I think we will manage.
It looks like my mom will be having a rough start as well. She is having her first major surgery on the 19th of this month. I am praying that her back and leg pain is helped immensely by this first procedure! Not sure when the next one will be.
When we brought Addy home in 2007 is had in my mind that we would start the international adoption process in 2010. Unfortunately it doesn't look like that's going to happen, but I am still hopeful that it will happen eventually. It will happen if Scott and I win the lottery this year! I guess I should start playing the lottery huh?
This will also be the last year that I am in my 30s! I turn 39 next month and it doesn't bother me in the least, I guess I'm just in denial!
I haven't really made any resolutions or goals for 2010 yet. I do want to be healthier and there is a plan for that in place. I also want to continue on a positive note when it comes to finances and that's about it. I am so blessed in the fact that there isn't anything about our marriage that I think needs work! I could probably be a little more understanding when it comes to Scott's "narrow interest focus" of geocaching, but that's it!
I want my kids to be happy and healthy just like everyone else does! However, when it comes to a child with significant emotional needs and another one with special needs, that is a big request!
