2010 recap better late than never

I was reading some blogs last night and came across some questions to recap 2010,here we go!!

What did you do in 2010 that you had never done before?
I had a c-section! It wasn't horrible but I can say it takes something away from the birthing experience. I don't really get that "I did it" feeling. Maybe if I hadn't had my tubes tied and had to be "knocked out" after she was born I would feel different. But I only saw Karly for a few seconds and then she was taken out to the nursery and I didn't see her for about 2hours!!

What would you like to have in 2011 that you didn't in 2011?
More time with friends. I don't see many people being home and we don't get out with friends much because not many friends have kids. I'm hoping to change that this year!

What was your biggest failure?
I really feel like a couple of things were failures this year. I feel like the kids didn't get the best of me. I needed to be more positive with them I got too aggravated to fast over too much. Ricky didn't get the best wife. Lots of days of him coming home to a mess of a house, no supper cooked and the kids and I ill. That isn't the kind of home I would want to come home to and so I'm working on making it a more positive place.

Did you suffer illness or injury?
Ha! I had major kidney problems while pregnant, gallstone issues while pregnant, had a baby. Four weeks after having a baby had to have emergency surgery to remove that lovely gallbladder. It was a very busy medical year for our little family!

The best thing you bought in 2010?
Umm a new car? Lots of pink clothes? I have no idea!

What was your favorite TV program?
Parenthood!! It's a great show that hits home for us alot!!

What was the best book you read?
Title I'm not sure but I read lots of books by Mary Higgins Clark

What was your greatest music discovery?
I think I discovered Pandora music in 2010 if not then we will just pretend I did!

What was the best moment?
Umm do I really have to say it.................Karly!!

The last question was about what would you like to change this year.................maybe not to procrastinate and take 23+ days to fill out a quiz about the previous year!! :)

I'm tired

I'm tired of lying for you.
I'm tired of covering for you.
I'm tired of trying.
I'm tired of calling.
I'm tired of wondering why.
I'm tired of crying.
I'm tired of explaining.
I'm tired of wishing.
I'm tired of hoping.
I'm tired of making up excuses.
I'm tired of thinking I did something wrong.

I'm just tired.
