I am so ready for a new start. 2013 was craaaaaazzzzzzzzyyyyyy. Here’s why, including the good, bad, and the ugly:
1. Major family crisis, which included 8 months of multi-systemic therapy (MST) for whole family.
2. Oldest son went to private school, then back to public school. Talk about IEP mess.
3. I began two more direct sales businesses– doTerra and All’asta. I still do Wildtree.
4. My scrabble tile jewelry and craft business has taken off.
5. Another undisclose-able business venture is in the works.
6. Oldest son preparing for post-high school education.
7. Daughter began going to a charter school, which is oriented toward gifted kids. It’s been a challenge adjusting, for all of us. We really miss our neighborhood school, but she is in the right place.
8. I had one of the most challenging classes of my “career” teaching part time at a local college. So challenging, I was tempted to quit.
9. I had the amazing experience of being the guest speaker at an event for special needs moms / caregivers / wives.
10. My hubby and I went to Hawaii for our honeymoon! Then we came back and celebrated 14 years of marriage! Thanks be to God for my parents, who we flew up from OK to watch our kiddos, and to the three support people who came in to check and make sure everything was okay! (We had made the arrangements, and then a week later the family crisis hit.)
So, good by 2013… to the good, bad, and the ugly. And hello, 2014, and all your goodness, badness, and ugliness. For my next post I will share with you my goals and hopes for 2014.
Happy New Year!
