Last year:
* Father-in-law has cancer - that sucks!
* Ayla and Harlee turned 2 - yes..they can walk...dammit, now they run. Shopping anywhere now is taken to a whole new level of hell!
* Willow turned 5 - started kindergarten...all day...all blessed day! Then falls asleep when she gets home.
* Quinn is 13 - she is a whole lot of beautiful, followed by a mouth and attitude that generally pisses me off.
* Zane is 6 - now I wish I had more boys, other than destroying things, he is a dream.
* Dave turned 40 - with a lot more gray and still the same stories...it doesn't look much different than the thirties.
* I turned 39 - Jack Benny has nothing on me...and if you don't know who that is...oh well, go back and check your My Space.
* Someone hit Dave, again - Nope, wasn't me. He was struck from behind in his truck, sitting waiting to turn the corner to our house...geez whiz, he had to do it in front of the house. How convenient is that.
* Took a walk on the wild side - had a party at Odyssey 1, playground for rabid children. WOW! What the hell was I thinking...oh yes, I remember, it's Sunday...how busy can it be?
* Girl Scout Cookie season came and went - a whirlwind of hurry up...sell, sell, sell...guess what coming on Jan. 9????
* Tax season gave us enough to float on top of the water, but then the raft blew a leak and we went back to bobbing in the sea of poverty.
* My parents parked in Tacoma, which gave us a "babysitter" for the kids...all the kids. I got to sleep...for a couple of days. But like all good things, the twins came back early. I think they broke their grandparents.
* Ayla had surgery - that was truly hard. It was a minor surgery, but it freaked me out never-the-less because she was anesthetized...then she went and fell on the site and it ballooned up with blood to the size of her fist...ugh!
* Snow, snow, snow...we now have no place to go. The first white Christmas that I remember in my lifetime. We got about 2 feet, maybe more.
* Snot, cold, vomiting galore...pick a month, pick a season, it tends to blur. It's always a good day when anyone isn't sick!
What to expect for this year:
* Zane will be 7, he gets cuter every year.
* Willow will be 6...beautiful, but ohh, what a teenager she will be.
* Quinn will be 14, oh shit, she will be driving in 1.5 years...can someone write 
me a prescription for Valium?
me a prescription for Valium?* Ayla & Harlee will be 3, if they make it past 2.
* Dave will be 41...he..he..he...he..ha...
* I will be 40...really??? What the hell, I guess those line on my forehead really do mean something.
* I have a max of animals I will take in...5 cats and 1 dog. Okay, maybe a fish.
* I get to be a real programmer...wow, like an adult and everything. Maybe I'll even get paid or something.
* My last year doing cookies for the service unit, but now 2 girls selling cookies...
* The best part is that I am looking forward to spending it with those I love!
