I have never been a huge fan of New Year's parties, too much pressure to have a good time and too many people trying to party like it's 1999. And with all the traveling D.G. and I normally do for Christmas, we are usually totally worn out by New Year's Eve and just want to sleep in our own bed. This year's New Year's Eve party consisted of eating chocolate cupcakes and watching fireworks at 8 pm in our backyard with D. (We are close enough to the park where the family celebration is held to see most of the fireworks from home.) D loved the fireworks so she decided to pretend to be a firework which involved spinning around on the floor and yelling "Boom, boom!" It was probably a side effect of the chocolate cupcake, but it was so funny, especially when she started farting while spinning around. (Someday she'll really hate that story, but seriously, it was the best I've felt in weeks.)
I wish the end of 2010 meant the end of the worst part of my life, but really it just gives me the right to say "My son died last year." I really hope 2011 will be better than 2010, but I'm not counting on it. I hope that at least some of the rest of you get to say that this next year is an improvement on the last one. Love to you all and thanks for helping me to survive the worst year of my life so far and hopefully ever.

Much gratitude to you as well momma. Happy New Year!
I think of you and Reid every day, knowing we run so close in this. Wishing joy for us both, preferably at identical moments and damn soon, this year.
Much love to you too on helping me survive the worst year in my life! Wishing you many happy times in 2011! <3
Hoping that this year brings you joy and some peace...
Sending big hugs!
Happy New Year! At least you had some festivity, I was in bed by 10! No desire to "party it up." Glad D had a good time, it's nice to have a little one to distract us and make us laugh at rough times.
here's hoping that things get better. thinking of you, and of Reid.
