Happy 2009 Ya'll!

Wow...another year has flown by. This year has already been plagued by both good and bad luck...no surprise there..lol.
I was lucky enough to go and spend the day with my first daughter and my grandson, her mom and family. We had a blast, myself, Katlyn and Caleb. Ate, and ate and ate, played uno and just talked until the time had flown by. :( Then that is where MY luck went south, trying to get the car loaded and ready to go so that I didn't have to worry about anything more than coat, purse and children, I miscalculated the steps and down I went. I heard a very loud pop and prayed that it wasn't me...and that I would be able get up. I did get up, and at first, other than feeling a little tender and throbbing, I was walking fairly normally. Of course I went back inside and sat down only to feel intense pain when I got back up to leave. UGH! I had to drive for two hours with a sprained ankle on New Years Day...Happy New Year to me lol. I have had a few jammed fingers and a badly sprained toe before, but this was new to me and damn it hurt :(. Of course the one thing that was stressed, STAY OFF IT!, was nearly impossible. My hubby had to work the next day and heaven forbid I ask my daughter to do anything...get the typical eye roll and sigh and then I'm irritated and do it myself anyway. Then for the weekend anytime I asked my husband for anything, it was like pulling teeth, like father, like daughter..GRRRR.
Other than that, it's been fairly smooth sailing, if you don't include the 494.00 violation I got from the Toll Tag office for a car we no longer own. We sold my car in August and just six days after the sale, he went through the toll tag and didn't pay and then for most of December and the first couple of days in Jan too. Enough times to rack up a 500 dollar fine. I could not find the bill of sale and freaked, so I backtracked and found his name and number from an old phone bill. I called him and confronted him about it, to which he seemed genuinely shocked. Bullcrap! He told me that he had already changed the registration..Lie! I called DPS and they confirmed my suspicions and so I had to fill out and mail in a Transfer of Vehicle Notification...blah, blah, blah.
It was not only important I do this to get out of his fine, but when the registration expires at the end of this month, he HAS to switch it to his name....woohoo!
Two more things to ring in the new year, a code violation from the city to scrape and paint our house...YIKES...I guess that's pretty bad huh? Next but not least, the person I babysit for wants to renig on what we discussed at the beginning of the school year. I am going to do a lot of praying for a better year ahead... and hope ya'll have a great one too!
