2010....ahhhhh 2010.
There have been good times, there have been bad times, there have been inbetween times.
I have had my share of worries and woes but Im also very lucky that at the same time, all the way through,even on the days when I didn't appreciate them, I have been married to the best guy in the world, have 2 awesome children (with another on the way ) and have had great friends who have been my rocks at many times.
Im just grateful for all of them,and if all I have to reflect on for 2010 is all those special people,then I count it as a good year |
like like like like like. This is such a good way to sum up my year too (except I have only one child and one on the way). Such a beautiful way to put everything in perspective.

2010 - we found out Taine was autistic. I feel like rather than tearing us apart, it made us "team Marama". It has been hard, but not as hard as I thought. and taine is thriving and happy, and we are learning that 'wait and see" is a superior tactic than "intervention" at the moment.
jake started school full time and he too has thrived. his reading and maths are really good but more importantly, he is loving school and has some good friends.
Family wise - have had some extremely tough times with a suicide attempt, severe alcoholism and separation. But feel happy with the way we've coped.

2010 wow it has been a busy year. Both good and bad and even with the bad there is always a silver lining. In dec 09 we decided to move back to NZ. Moving countries with 3 kids and a cat and dog is quite a stressful thing. My hair fell out and my eyelashes in one eye fell out. I also gained 30 kgs. Great.
The kids started their schools where my son was bullied. Called an F'in american and a Texas B@#ch. I told him to tell them that he was born at national womans hospital in akl but to no avail. He was strangled and kicked and hit in the playground because he has an accent. He is a social kids so this was a very new experience for him. Also his lunch was stolen for 8 months and he didn't tell me because the kid was offering protection for him. (9 years old) Principal always called me to say the other kids were reprimanded but it still continued. The other 2 kids settled in fine and things seem to have sorted themselves out with him now. Touchwood.
Then mum got cancer. After a major surgery (she has poor health so it wasn't certain she would come thru the surgery) and rounds of chemo it seems like it is dormant right now so that is great. Dad in the meantime had a stroke in 2008 but has continued to have smaller ones and can now not talk and lies in bed in a nursing home. I constantly feel guilty because I hate to go visit him as he always asks me to take him out of there. There is no way I could look after him as he needs medical care. I also feel guilty for thinking it would be kinder for him to pass now.
I mentioned earlier that I gained a lot of weight so I decided to do something about it. I had a gastric bypass a month ago. The best decision I have ever made. I have lost 20kgs and have another 35 to go. I have enrolled in teachers college for next year and finally have direction and a purpose for me after raising 3 kids to school age so far over 14 years.
So the first half of the year was challenging. The second half was taking control and next year we will be reaping the benefits.

That is so horrible!! Kids can be so cruel sometimes, any point of difference, they pick on! It just seems to be getting worse and worse. Hope things have improved for him.

So the same kid that was offering him protection, was stealing his lunch?! You poor boy, breaks my heart!!
Good on you for doing something for yourself though all that crazyiness! Hope your mum continues to improve, and your poor dad.

hmm.. i think 2010 has been a pretty good year for me. these things are sort in order of events lol. though i couldnt not put our baby at the top of the 2010 list lol.
- started with my youngest being born in Jan couldnt imagine our lives with out him.
- found out my sil was pregnant. exciting stuff.
- my oldest son was diaognosed with autism (for us that was a good thing - it was an answer).
- had an awsome night out with my oldest bestie, which lead to a lot more nights out with my bestie. with more to come.
- same night us above learnt that my sister was pregnant, very exciting.
- my 2nd son started daycare.
- My oldest son started school, this was a huge achievement as we didnt know til 2wks b4 his 5th birthday if he would be able to start school. but he did and i didnt relise how big a milestone that was for myself til i was walking him to his class room.
- I relised that I wasnt finished having babies like i thought i was.
- learnt a lot about myself this year and the people around me.
- i decided I dont care if some people dont like my care free parenting style, thats not my problem. my 4 boys are and have always been happy healthy children. and im not pulling my hair out, it is what suits our family.
- DH decided that he too wants another baby.
- my oldest learnt how to spell and write his name (again for us that is a big thing from him)
- more exciting things happening for me but thats between me myself and i, for now.
looking forward to 2011.

2010 has been about adjusting to life as a f/time SAHM (decision to NOT go back to work was a long though out process, and a last minute decision), adjusting our household back to 'just us' (FIL moved out in June) my baby girls 1st birthday, and watching her do all these amazing new things that I missed out on with my oldest, and managing to get preg again without any hiccups along the way. Was also about saying goodbye to one of my closest friends as she moved to Oz, and making new friends within other coffeegroups.
