Our little pal *getting into stuff*2008 was quite a year. Most say it is a year that we will not soon forget. I tend to agree, but for reasons other than what the average person thinks. Let's see, in 2008 I accomplished a lot. I did things I have never done before and things that I may never do again... In 2008, I:
- had a baby;
- watched said baby grow from an 8.9 lb newborn into an 18 lb *almost* toddler (how the heck does this happen?);
- shed more tears than I ever have; both happy and sad tears;
- lost 34 lbs, but still have more to go;
- lost part of my sanity;
- lost part of my memory
- became a baby chef;
- became a master entertainer (baby entertainer, that is...) according to my friend Kelly;
- became oblivious to nasty diaper changes;
- went several days without showering;
- discovered that Darren is possibly the best father someone could ever ask for;
- instinctively walked to my baby's room several times at night to check on her;
- wondered what I'd gotten myself into, but....
- shortly after, realized that having a baby was the best thing I had ever done;
- travelled to Ottawa, Thunder Bay, Mississippi and Mexico;
- made a plan to give my baby the best life there is....
I know the new year is all about resolutions. For the first time, I don't really have any. My brain refuses to let me make any; although, I've subconsciously resolved to watch what I say in front of Carys. She is a *knowing* little girl who watches me intently while I say something to the dogs. I would hate for her first words to be "Paddy, you da*n dog, get in the frigging house now!", in a tone that is really not appropriate for any household.
