2009 is almost over! Only 2 days left!! I, for one, am pretty happy that 2009 is saying goodbye. I am ready for a new chapter to begin with 2010!!
You know me, I love a good theme...and I like a good list. So I am going to give you my top five themes of 2009!!!
1. Sickness - OMG!!! Let's start with the bad!! 2009 was our year for everyone being down and dirty sick. Starting with Rocco's RSV to Bryan's multiple staph infections to Jillian's multiple ear infections and bladder infections to my staph encounter, this just wasn't the healthiest year for us!! 2010 is going to be different, I just know it!
2. Change - We went from a family of three to a family of four!! Rocco Harrison started out the year with a bang and hasn't slowed down. Now that he is walking, he is in to everything!! It has been quite an adjustment for me and Miss Jillian to share the attention. I thought there were times that Jillian was going to lose her mind at the thought of sharing her Mommy with this new creature but we somehow got through it. And they say, what does not kill us makes us stronger!! Right??? With Rocco's new mobility, the two of them are playing more and more together and it makes me smile. Well, maybe not "play together" but Rocco is more able to do what Jillian instructs him to do!!

December 24, 2009
Bryan started the year as a FedEx man and ended it as an HEB man. I am very happy with the change but Bryan is still adjusting. His hours are so much more family friendly which is the most important thing to me. Plus, can you beat the discount we are now getting on our groceries??
With the whole two kids situation and a full-time job, my hair went bye-bye in 2009. Really, I do not see a reappearance in store for 2010. I love it short and I think the style is here to stay. I have too much, waaaaaay too much going on, for me to worry with my hair.
3. Diapers - 2009 brought a whole new meaning to this word. For 6 months, we were diapering two children and it was really hard!! How do moms of multiples do it?? Every time I would change Rocco, I would turn around and have to change Jillian and vice versa. There were baby accidents and there were toddler accidents. At times, I felt surrounded by poop and pee. Every trip to the store included a purchase of diapers.
4. Twilight/Glee - Is this really a theme?? Hey, this is my list! If you haven't checked these out, then you are missing out. I am a tv watcher and a music listener. I used to be a reader. BUT for quite some time, I have been checked out. Nothing interested me!! NOTHING!! But in 2009, I was inspired to read ALL 4 books of the Twilight series and loved all of them!! I also started watching the TV show (on Fox) Glee. I LOVE IT!! It is so fun, smart, sassy, quirky, sweet, etc. I can't wait for Wed. nights. Also, the soundtrack (vol 1 and vol 2) are totally awesome!!! I get up in the morning and I want to listen to the music to get my blood pumping for the day!
5. Family - This year, Mom retired from school and Dad retired from full-time daycare service. Jillian and Roc now go to school M,W,F and get Grammie and Poppy time on T and Th. Everybody seems pretty happy with this setup.
Finally, the year is ending and the new year is beginning with a bang!!! My sister and Bryan's brother are getting hitched on Saturday. What a fun way to start the year! (Pictures will follow of the prettiest matron of honor, hottest (newly slim) groomsman, sweetest flower girl and most adorable baby boy in a tux that you have EVER seen!!)
Happy 2010!!! I'll catch ya'll in the new year!!
