Hoping For A Better Year

Ok so it's been awhile since my last post I just discovered today that our site was back up and running again, thanks Jodie...
Anyway 2010 was not the greatest year for me but I keep pushing on hoping things will get better, somethings gotta give sooner or later right??
Steven is doing well as usual keeping his grades up and still playing baseball and of course wrestling. I don't know that I will ever figure out the wrestling jinx in this family I swear Steven gets hurt somehow every year, so far this year he has had a broken nose, although it wasn't caused by wrestling it was during that season, then yesterday he comes in looking like someone beat the hell out of him, swollen lip, black eye, etc good lord what will it be next???? I know he's not my little boy anymore hell he's 18 now but even still he is my boy and I worry about him. I'm still having trouble figuring out how I have a kid that's all grown up there's just no way I'm that damn old??? Yep I'm in denial and intend to stay that way for as long as I can that's just the way it is... So there's is this quote or saying or rhyme not sure what it really is but a friend of mine sent it to me and I was reading it thinking how true it is so I figured I'll throw it on here just because so here goes:

"YOU GOTTA TAKE THE GOOD WITH THE BAD; SMILE WITH THE SAD;
LOVE WHAT YOU GOT AND REMEMBER WHAT YOU HAD.
LEARN TO FORGIVE, BUT NEVER TO FORGET,
LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES, BUT NEVER REGRET,
PEOPLE CHANGE, THINGS GO WRONG
JUST REMEMBER
LIFE GOES ON!!!"

2011 Here We Come

Christmas is over and mess is cleaned up.....The New Year is 5 days old. We survived and even though I had more problems than I would have liked it was nice. I tried to give everyone a nice Christmas......I may retire someday and not be able to afford much for my family. I hope you all had a nice holiday and got some things that you want or need. The grandkids are all getting so big it is hard to shop for them so money is becoming the choice. Not very creative I know! Christmas Eve was fun...Trina and Colby had made a DVD with pictures and things of the siblings and grandkids...it was very nice. She also made up a song about the Black's to the tune of the 12 Days of Christmas and had the kids sing/talk it. I didn't do anything for New Years...cleaned up the Christmas stuff. I hate that part of it....hard to get it all packed away....even though I don't buy anything new it never fits back like it was.....WHY??? Steve in town getting some skin cancers removed. He has to go to a plastic surgeon tomorrow so they can schedule a surgery to remove the rest of one from top of this head. I had to take him to the doctor on Christmas Eve day to get part of that taken off and checked to confirm it was cancerous. I have such an exciting life it is hard to talk about it.....go to work, come home, go to bed, go to work, come home and on week-ends go to farm, work and come home, go to work again. I am sure everyone would love to trade places with me......RIGHT! Mom and Dad's house is in Green River being set up. We will be moving them in sometime toward the end of the month. Randy has to get the porches done and frame the garage. Hopefully they will like it....with all the grumbling that is going on I wonder. Neither of them like anything or so it seems. Will be glad when that is finally over and done. Happy 2011......hoping for an awesome year....is that too much?
