Forgive Me WordPress, for I have sinned…

I was D.R.U.N.K

That is my excuse for not posting yesterday, I know, not a great start to my daily post pledge of 2011, considering, yesterday was the first day of 2011!

I absolutely had no intention to get drunk, my intention was to take in the bells with my family then go to bed…..

I did take the bells in with my family, then, my neighbour came in.  Her husband was looking after their son, so she demanded me go into her house and wish her hubby a Happy New Year.

My hubby stayed at home with the kids, off I went with neighbour, we then heard music from our other neighbours house so we went to wish them the best.  Left at 7:30am

Oh my days!…..It did feel like working a night-shift, bar the alcohol, and the music, and the general hilarity.

I woke up at 5pm, but refused to get up in case my evening happened to reappear in any form.

It was safer to just stay put, I got up today, 2nd of January, very tentatively, still feeling pretty rough! And swearing on my life I will NEVER, EVER, Drink again.

*groan*

My last post of 2010

Going to be short and sweet, 1/1/11 rolls in here just under 4.5hrs, this is actually the very first year we are not going out.  Hogmanay past, the in-laws have taken the kids while we go out with the grown ups.  This year we decided to stay home and have our next door neighbours first foot us.  She has dark hair so hopefully she will bring us good luck so we have a better year than 2010.

Looking back on 2010, we have had our ups and downs, we have had to deal with my husband’s mother battling breast cancer in April, she had a mastectomy in May and finished her last round of Chemo in October.

My husband’s company went into administration in June, but thankfully the business was restarted again.

My furbaby (Molly the Westie), who is 8 had a tumour removed from her eye.

I broke my ankle in August resulting in me withdrawing from my first marathon.

On top of the bad, we have had also had our good.  My son starting school, which has helped bring his confidence out.

My daughter progressing well in her cheerleading and dance class, and hopefully will be attending her first nationals in March.

We also took the kids on their first holiday abroad, to Turkey, in October.

But all in all, we have had a lot of good times, we have a home filled with love and laughter and we are a really strong team.

So, in hindsight, I wont be sorry to see the back of 2010, but looking forward to a happy and healthy 2011.

I wont be making any resolutions, I always find I just set myself up for failure, if I do.  But I am going to relax, oh, and try to blog post daily…*laugh*

May 2011 bring you much joy, happiness, good health and peace.

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And days o’ lang syne!

Happy New year ♥
