Questionable

There are so many things that I would like to get off my chest today. I, however, am not going to vent about everything that would just be too boring for you. I am looking forward to a New Year in hopes that maybe it will bring me some better luck. Then I think to myself that I wish for that every year. Obviously it hasn't got me too far. Then again, my luck could be worse.
I have decide to list the bad things that have happened to me in 2008 and then then good just to see which one wins!
The bad and the ugly....Spent all my income tax on a new van and a TV, lost my blazer, wrecked new van when I hit a deer, had to drive a PT Cruiser for a loaner (this is bad when you have 4 kids!), stop receiving child support, my very good friend moved 3 hours away, lost another close friend and family due to a controlling man (hers, not mine), had to deal with my daughter(Mudd) losing 3 of her pets to death (one I ran over myself), having my daughter(Mudd) almost lose her foot, lost child support for a second time and then last but not least wondering how the hell I was going to accomplish Christmas. (amongst all this trying to keep my marriage intact hasn't been easy either)
The good and the better.....Got a nice new van, blazer didn't go on credit report cuz it was listed with BK 2 years earlier (we were paying on something I guess we didn't have to), started to receive a few months of child support, still good friends with he friend that moved away (going to see her Friday), daughter did not lose the use of her foot (missed it by 1/2 centimeter), oldest daughter(Nanners)did good with soccer, both oldies did great at 4H, both doing good in school, Fidget is learning things so fast, I was able to accomplish a Christmas, and the biggie....My Minnie was born.
You know, when you put all out there like that it makes me smile to see all the good things that I have and that things aren't perfect...but hey!..That is just fine for me! We are all here and we are all together. (including the marriage that is still intact). I guess people just take a lot of things for granted and I guess that at times I can be one of those people. But then I come back to reality and realize I wouldn't change anything for the world!!!(ok maybe my own house)!
