Facebook is full of posts with people looking back over the year, it's highlights and lowlights....so I was trying to do the same but my brain has gone blank.
It's gone incredibly quickly. I know a lot of my friends have had utterly shit years and that's what keeps popping into my mind when I try and look back at ours! I can't say it was utterly shit. Bits of it were horrific.
Toby cutting his leg open at the airport, the horrible stitching of the wound and missing part of our holiday (though the silver lining from that one was a huge insurance payout and another holiday booked for May next year at Center Parcs that I can't wait for).....
Toby getting diagnosed formally with ADHD (though the silver lining on THAT one is that he's now medicated and doing brilliantly at school. And is taking his medication like an angel - something I thought we'd struggle with).....
Losing both my venues for teaching (though my life is chaotic enough at the moment caring for 2 ADHD boys, an ADHD hubby and being Chair of Governors at school so it freed up my time...and it's been nice to be missed by lots of mummies who have said lovely things about me!)
Good things - I changed agent and am feeling very optimistic about the future (even though I didn't get any work from them this year, I had a couple of really great auditions and came within a whisker of a sitcom). I had an amazing time in Detroit with my sister. And when she came over in the summer. But it makes me miss her more!
Everything has two sides to it here doesn't it! A seesaw kind of a year. A half full and half empty glass.
I can't believe that in a couple of weeks I'll have a 7 year old and a 9 year old. And that Oz will be 10 in the summer. Talk about time flying.
I've felt a lot of love from friends and family. Still a big hole on the friend front that I don't think about all the time anymore but I still miss. Always wonder if she reads this.....
But anyway. May your 2014 be amazing. If you're reading this then thank you and I'll try and post more next year! I got a fab little camera lens attachment for my iphone from my lovely hubby for Christmas - am going to attempt to do PAD again which always makes me blog.
I don't know if I'll make it to midnight tonight - we don't really do much on NYE - it's so expensive to go out, hard to find a babysitter and it's always a bit anticlimactic......but whatever you do, I hope it's good.
See you next year.....
