It's my blogoversary and what have I planned?

NOTHING!

No cake. No icecream. Forgot the chips (remembered the dip. get it? i'm a dip? HA HA HA!)

Forgot normal humor.

Last year? I did a great summary of the year.

I will do one again. Eventually. Not today. Though we have no plans today and I could I feel like a lazy ass.

Quick summary of the year?

Liam was diagnosed with autism. We actually had Christmas at home. My girla turned a freaking year old. I went to the loony bin for nearly a week. Got fatter thanks to my meds. But saner too so whatever to fatter. I was already fat what's another 15 pounds. My mom started acting saner after plenty of insanity. My kids are brilliant and fabulous and decided they like each other which makes my heart try to explode every time they giggle around playing. Somehow my husband still wants to be married to me. It was a much busier year than that yet my brain? Got way smaller this year too. Oh! And let's not forget our car drama! We purchased a CROSSOVER (fancy way of saying SUV with a different body style since SUV's are considered the devil these days) and life is happy. ALL THE ROOM!

Also? I lost a shitton of readers because dude, I'm just not a "funny blog" anymore. But even better? I gained a few fabulous ones and kept ones i don't deserve to keep. And I stopped reading almost everyone's blogs except every long long once in a while because I feel guilty about not commenting and being a lurker. I'm a dumbass. Yet I really do have an amazing group of people who read and support me and I am really blessed by that.

Oh. I guess I didn't forget the WHOLE celebration. I am eating toffee almond chocolate bits for breakfast. I'll even share.

To celebrate? I present you my three favorite people.



And a bonus shot of Liam being goofy when I told him to get in his seat while I loaded the stroller up. Usually? He hops in and tries to do it up. Not that day. (And Lily WILL be turned back around this weekend. I just can't do it and Josh hasn't had time. Extended rear facers we are!)



And because she's so cute even while bald and even cuter when she lets me stick a headband on her head because I AM SO SICK OF HER BEING CALLED A BOY!



And, well, he's always called a boy but that's probably good considering he IS a boy. A boy who loves his mama and kisses me more than ever. That should be one of my number one happy things of the year. My baby boy is back to giving kisses. Fucking autism taking that one away for over a year.



And really? He's SUCH a boy. (who got a haircut yesterday! hell hell HELL I tell you. I did it alone. I also got stupid(er) this year and think I'm superwoman. I'm not. Will post pics along with, oh, everything else I'm behind on soon like)



And the best pic ever? They were play attacking each other then collapsed in a heap to watch some tv and have bottles.

And they stayed that way.



So the last year? Has been more challenging than I could have ever imagined and even more rewarding.

And my daughter just stole half a piece of my chocolate and is downing it. Where's the camera when I need it? She is so her mamas girl.

Let's just hope she skips the potty mouth crazy bits of me. She can have the rest because this year? I realized that really? I'm not that bad. Not at all.
