I'd like to return 2008 for a refund, please. Well, all but that one bright day in November. It's just been one thing after another, especially these past few months. Abi broke her arm (9/15 and she's still in a splint because the bones are healing very slowly) and then it all went to hell.
Peter had surgery on his shoulder the end of October...the surgery went well but the healing didn't and insurance cut off his physical therapy before he'd had all he needed. Blah.
Then my daughter, six months pregnant with her first, lost her job the day after election day. Fired because she is pregnant. Really? Yes, really. She's filed a complaint but it won't do her any immediate good.
Her partner changed jobs for better pay and then was 10 mins late just once due to a crappy car. Unfortunately, he was still within his mandatory 90 day probationary period. So here they are, expecting baby Jack in February and neither has been able to find a job. Their rent is due in 5 days.
We can't help as much as we'd like because my husband was recently informed his employment contract won't be renewed come February. We're waiting in hopes of another prospect.
Kait (and her brother) experienced yet another loss when their grandmother passed away from metastatic breast cancer on Dec. 9. Cancer sucks.
We found out my dad (Ray) has melanoma on his leg. He has to have surgery and a skin graft. The docs think they may get it all but, still, scary stuff and again--cancer sucks.
If all that weren't enough, my Sofie bunny died suddenly last Saturday.
Whoever put the curse on my family, enough already! I'm tired.
I'm off to see if I can knit a Happy New Year...

Your family sure has had its bumps now hasn't it. I will keep you all in my thoughts.
I'm so sorry things are going so awfully for your family. Here's hoping the New Year turns everything around.
I love you!
Now, maybe we can set up some sort of fundraiser, and find a cure for cancer, and, and, now we're back at I love you!
I am sorry, Shannon. I will be sending you and your family and friends lots of positive thoughts. And if you were here, a big hug.
Like Holly said, I love you!! I'm so sorry to hear about both cancers and about Sophie. What a sucky end of the year for you to be going through. My thoughts are with you. Let's get together soon. I miss you!!!
XOXO
PS Miss you too, Holly!
Wow, that is a lot of stuff piled up on you and yours. 2009 has got to be better.
Oh no! 2009 just has to be better for you. A new grandbaby to look forward to! Cancer blows, there was this old couple that used to come to my library and she wore a pin on her purse that said Cancer Sucks. Find one of those, it should help!

Wow, that's not been a good year, has it? Here's hoping that 2009 is the year all your ships come in and all your lives are filled with happiness. A new baby is a good start - there seems to be so much extra love around a new baby!
