Only 4 months to go......
Is it just me? or has this just been a sh!tty year for everyone 
I'm sure Poppy and SM will be happy to see the back of 2009 and are hoping for a better year in 2010. 
Seems to me that some years tend to start off bad and just get bloody worse
I know things could be a lot worse, I try to remind myself of that regularly.
Yes, I'm having a bad day....so, how's your year going?
not looking for sympathy, karma.......misery loves company

Got my green card
Had a baby, who at four months is the size of a six month old and has two teeth already.
Everything else has been shit, roll on 2010

Hopefully he will move to SC within months of that occasion so I can go back to singledom and peace and quiet.

Re: Only 4 months to go......
Much as I am hating the thought of Christmas sneaking up on me, I sure will be happy to raise a glass to the back of 2009!!!
Of course, this time next year, I could be looking back and thinking 'that was a great year' I'm usually the eternal optimist

I haven't been shy about sharing my mishaps and misery here, 
, however one bright spot (because there has to be one you know) is my little ray of sunshine granddaughter. Hope to see her over Labor Day.

What amazes me I keep myself to myself, in the real world I am a very private person and a workaholic, but drama finds me its not as if I am married or have kids to bring it in the front door

Hope you all have a much better year next year.
Everyone around me has fallen apart this year....I keep wondering how I've got by unscathed

Re: Only 4 months to go......
Well, I had my first kid, sold our house, bought a new house, have a job, have good health (relatively!) and a few other bits and pieces so I guess life is good. Some bad stuff but all in all, decent year so far.

Re: Only 4 months to go......
I want to scrap this shit year right now and go straight from August to January 2010. That way at least my winter will be warmer.
