Good-Bye 2007; Don't Let the Door Hit Ya in the A$$ on the Way Out

I'm stressing about going back to work the day after tomorrow and it's ridiculous, I know.  I should just enjoy today because the next 2 days will pass so quickly - kind of like the boys' first couple of years with us.  I tried to get up early to go to the gym, but I'm finding that I just don't have it in me.  Not sure exactly why, but I need to go because I think it will do a world of good for stress relief.

And, since I'm taking a look back at 2007, here is an end of the year meme:

1. What did you do in 2007 that you'd never done before? Sold a house
2. Did you keep your New Year's resolutions, and will you make more for next year? I tried to keep my resolutions this year, but failed miserably.  I will and have made resolutions for 2008, but will probably revise them.
3. Did anyone close to you give birth? Not that I know of, but there are 3 babies due the first half of 2008 from relatives or close friends.
4. Did anyone close to you die? Thankfully, no we all seemed to be healthy in 2007.
5. What would you like to have in 2008 that you did not in 2007? Peace of mind, less around the middle, stable housing situation, and NO job changes.
6. What was your biggest achievement of 2007? Ugh - surviving 2007 and not causing major damage to myself or my family.
7. What was your biggest failure? Letting someone close to me doubt myself which seemed to signal the beginning of the unhappy events of 2007.
8. Did you suffer illness or injury? Thankfully there were no major illnesses or injuries although Alex jumping on the bed and falling (and subsequent rush to the ER) was close enough.
9. What was the best thing you bought? I can't think of anything thus proving that you should think twice before you buy something because it probably isn't as good as you think it is when you first buy whatever it is you're spending your hard-earned cash on.
10. Whose behavior merited celebration? My husband - he has had a ridiculous amount of patience with me this year and has been so supportive!
11. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed? Probably mine first because I could have handled the crappy things so much better.  And then a second would be the person who kept insisting that Nick had autism because that person should not have pulled the stunt that they did.
12. Where did most of your money go? Gawd - if I could answer that I would be a genius.  It's the same question that my husband asks me.
13. What did you really get excited about this year? Selling our place and moving.
14. Compared to this time of year are you happier or sadder (about the same) thinner or fatter (much fatter) richer or poorer (richer and wiser).
15. What do you wish you'd done more of? I wish I'd eaten less and spent more time exercising.
16. How did you spend Christmas last year? At my sister's house.
17. Did you fall in love in 2007? Yes - every day of 2007 when I would wake up and see my sons and husband.
18. How many one-night stands? Seriously?
19. What was your favorite TV Program? The Hills because my life is not as dramatic as I thought and Samantha Who?
20. What did you want and get? I got a new job and realized it wasn't what I wanted after all.
21. What did you want and not get? After March of 2007 things went downhill.  I'd started off 2007 with such high hopes and things just didn't get better.  But, for now things seemed to have stabilized.

I'm an optimist and I'm hoping that 2008 is better.  Well, at least I'm stronger and probably a little more prepared for 2008.
