What a year it has been!

I must admit that I am not the least bit unhappy about seeing the end of 2008!  What a year it has been...especially dealing with my mother's health.  The holidays have been tough, but we had a good day yesterday as the cast was finally removed from her ankle. Now physical therapy can move forward.  I just don't know what she will be able to do in a few more weeks.  This being the FOURTH episode of falling and breaking!!   We are hoping that she can move back to assisted living......."skilled" care is a huge financial undertaking.....not to speak of just plain depressing!


So.....surely 2009 has to be better???  


I'm taking Christmas decor down today and tomorrow. I didn't do as much this year so it will be a simpler job.  Plan to spend a quiet New Year's Eve at home....grill out a couple of steaks....or maybe dh will do the grilling as it is supposed to be 20 degrees tonight.  Thats COLD for us!!


Have a save and happy celebration and start the New Year with optimism for the new possibilities and opportunities!


Hugs, Sooze

You sure have had a time of it Sooze. P&PTs for a safer and healthier 2009 for your dm and a calmer year for you. You certainly deserve it.


We'll be staying home also. I ordered a ham from Honey Baked for tomorrow so I think just some soup for dinner tonite.


I'll add my thumbs up for a 2009 full of optimism and opportunities to yours for everyone here at WB.

HI Sooze


Sending a bit of magic dust your way. 2008 was not the best year for you or your Mom. I am sure hoping that 2009 will be a much better year for you all.


Happy New Year enjoy your quiet evening.


Love ya

You sure have had one heck of a year, Sooze. Here's more magic dust, since one can never have too much. It's flying your way on my good thoughts, that 2009 is a very good one for you. Hugs.
