Nate & I have never been huge New Year’s Eve folks. I have never been one to make resolutions, or feel the need to celebrate the turning of one day or year. These days, I could not stay awake until midnight if someone paid me. (okay, maybe if I was paid. Pampers are expensive) But as 2010 approaches, I felt tempted to do one of those oh-so-trendy 2009 Year in Review posts.
But then I realize that my life is pretty lame & y’all have been reading about it all year. So in a short summary, I started off the year getting drunk as a way to cope with the miscarriage:
& that alcohol led to drunk sex, & then I ended up peeing on something that costs $20:
& as a direct result of both alcohol & the pee stick, I ended up looking like this the majority of the year.
But you already know that.
Looking back on a year ago, New Year’s Eve 2008…I was so profoundly heartbroken. So miserable beyond explanation, so sad for a year that left me broken in numerous ways. & now, I have everything I dreamed of, proof that a single year can change your life forever. & for those that are left hurting over 2009 the way that I ached over 2008, I simply hope that 2010 brings a better year.
As far as resolutions, check back on Monday, January 4th as we start McFatty Monday & I begin my first New Year’s Resolution…well, ever.
HELLO, 2010!
Congrats and Happy New Year Blair! I am so happy that everything worked out for you and your beautiful family!
Just wanted to let you know I have passed on a blog award to you! Go over to my blog and you can check it out
Hilarious! Congrats on a good year! And great post!
I'm so glad 2009 brought you all of your dreams!! You definitely deserve it! This post made me cry and brought me a little hope all in one! Thanks for sharing your world with us, it lets me know that I'm not in this alone! Love you girl!
I can't wait to see what your blog will bring in 2010! Hopefully more coffee spewing out of my nostrils in the morning.
And I sincerely hope 2010 is better for our family than 2009 was. Not that it was terribly bad but I'm having a rough go of it right now and I'm banking on a clean slate.
Happy New Year to you and the family! I'm so very happy that this year was able to help heal some of the hurt you experienced in '08. I wish the best for you guys in 2010 and I look forward to watching that handsome boy of yours grow up!
Cheers!
Well I thought I was done crying but this brought the tears rushing back. My miscarriage started last year on New Year's Eve and a week later I drank my sorrows away. I kept telling myself that I'd be lucky in 2009 just like you. It never happened and last night my DH and I sat on the couch as I cried realizing that it never did happen for me. Reading this post gives me hope, maybe 2010 will be my year.
Happy New Year Blair.
I say AMEN to your hope for us that need a good 2010!
Congrats on the past year! Funny how things happen … and always for the best. That pink top looks awesome on you, by the way
Happy New Year!
