And my preemie never dropped more than a couple of ounces because of my obsessive pumping and breastfeeding and getting out of the hospital a few hours after my c-section so I could start making the trek to the next hospital, where the NICU was. I don't know where I found the strength for all of that now that I look back... but sheesh!! OH!

I went on extended bed rest with a toddler and still made it far enough that my Phin didn't need to be put in a incubator or go on oxygen even when he was born 7 weeks early. I survived 3 months being pregnant and taking care of a toddler while living with my insufferable in-laws while my DH was 400 miles away trying to get us situated in an area I had never even been to. We moved 400 miles away while I was pregnant and caring for a toddler, which meant I was stuck alone in a car for 8 hours by myself with a 14 month old. I discovered a brand new me behind the lens this year, this biggest thing of all, for me. I found a place where I feel comfortable, and artistic, and at home, behind my shutter. **hugs** Shawna! For bringing all this to the forefront! I carried my preemie 4 weeks longer than everyone thought I could with my placenta previa!

I was the mom, wife, taxi driver, chief cook, and maid at my house. I put in over 700 hours of volunteer work at the kids' school. I have no idea how many hours I put in as the cubmaster too. I would guess at least 700 maybe more. I've learned alot more about digi scrapbooking. I love continuing my digi skills. I became a member of my first CT (for purpletulip designs), and guested for Kristin Cronnin-Barrow in August. I'm the neighborhood digi scrapbooking guru. I have taught 3 ladies how to digi scrapbook this year. I'm super mom. I always have extra kids at my house and feed everyone. I like to know where my kids are and what they are doing, so I make our house the party house so I can keep track of what's going on. This year I want to cut back some of my volunteer time and work more on my family and my hobbies. Well I guess that's enough for the contest. keepscrappin' kayla I had a busy year.

I literally just finished crying my eyes out because I am under so much stress and feel like such a crappy mom because I am so impatient with my kids right now (because of all the stress). Your post was really something I needed to read right now. Overall I have had a great year. I ran my first marathon, left an unhappy work situation and have worked my butt off to open my own practice which is happening on January 5th! And best of all I have 4 beautiful, healthy, sweet boys. Thanks Shawna! Wow.
