So far I’m starting this year out hard!

2010 was a bad year for me, even though I paid off my mortgage and my sister had a baby!  I’ve been hoping that 2011 would be a much better year, but so far, the year is starting out hard!

Hard Events of 2011, so far:

• A old friend’s dad died at the very beginning of the year.  I went down alone because everybody in my family was busy.
• A co-worker’s father-in-law died and we were short-staffed at work, so I volunteered to cover third shift while he was in china for two weeks.  This shift was draining…  I won’t be doing this again, EVER!
• It was determined that my son needs braces, BAM… getting them will cost over $4,000!
• I went to lunch one day at taco bell, and hit the snow-covered wall rim of the drive-thru with my tire, boom I got a flat!  Of course I didn’t bring a coat since I knew I was just going through the drive-thru.  So there I was changing the tire out in the snow without a coat on.  Next I took the tire to a shop to get patch, but the side wall had a tear, so I had to get a new tire grrrr!

No doubt, this is a horrible start of the year!  You might think I would be down, but I’m not.  Life happens and you need to keep a positive outlook no matter what!  So to the year 2011, I say bring it!!!

Life is full of bumps and this year I’m not going to dwell on my problems!  It’s full steam ahead for me!

How is your 2011 so far?  I still believe this will be a much better year for me that 2010!
