This was my first full year of being a stay at home Mom....it was awesome, but it had it's challenges. Eric left for Ranger school on January 1. John would cry for him most nights. I would lay in bed with him for an hour or more until he finally went to sleep and by that time it was time for Chloe to go to bed. Around February John had a serious bout with the flu. I was up at night with him because that's when the fever would spike, I was so worried and tired. It lasted a good week and he started getting better then I got really sick and of course got a sinus infection. Being sick and not having a your husband around to help really sucks! We had limited communication and when we did it wasn't for long. Eric finally graduated and came back home in May.
In the spring while cleaning out the natural area in out backyard I ran into a little poison ivy. I have never had poison ivy and I thought I was immune. I should have known better with all my allergies, What started out as a few bumps turned into an eyes swollen shut, whelps all over face, swollen ears, awful mess. It took almost four days before the steroids and antibiotics even kicked in. It finally went away but all summer I would have little flare up of very sensitive skin for some reason.
We had a pretty laid back summer, just a few trips to the beach. This was last summer we would ever spend at the beach condo in Atlantic Beach. So long Sea Spray, you gave us so many memories that will be cherished forever!
Chloe started playing the violin this year. She was upset after her recital that they only played two short songs, but it was good and I loved seeing her play. We could have a budding musician.
It was a quiet year, but quiet is good I guess. I am thankful that all of my family is intact with no major illnesses or problems. I have a few goals set for 2012 so if I am able to reach them and maintain that will be my highlight for next year.
