Well, another year is upon us. I took a bit of a computer break this vacation. Was too lazy to even comment about it. Did a bit of cleaning and organizing.

NYE, my Dh, myself, and a female mutual friend splurged on tickets to an 80's party, and my husband suprised me with an overnight stay in an oceanside luxury hotel. Sounds nice right?

Welllllllllll.

It started out ok. Then slid into a ditch, was saved and ended well until DH got sick from "tequila flu". He is not a person who drinks, and his body has trouble processing alcohol.

Im not sure what has happened to our friend, but my lessons are that if someone interrupts you so much you cannot even finish one sentence, if someone takes off and leaves you several times, if someone talks only about themselves constantly, thats not someone you need in your life.

So - lost a friend for New Years.

But we danced and laughed and said our goodbyes.

Munchkin was happily ensconced in her friends house for a sleepover with her Krew. Lots of happy texts from friends and family.

So - gained some peace.

Toxic Troll told DH that since she did not work last year that he should claim munchkin and gain head of household. He will give her some of his cash return he sais, because thats what they have always done. Im thinking that we will file married/separate. But Ill need to really look into the scenarios.

S0 - gained head of household.

Got word of a Fakebook post from Toxic Troll saying that she is "so single that she put as her emergency contact # her ex husband, and that his wife will really like that..." thinking he needs to know, but not sure, not wanting to put more energy into her continual toxicness. Still manages to piss me off, somehow.

I suppose that will be my New goal for this year - to not hold on and get mired in my anger. Holding boundaries doesnt mean you hold on to the emotions that caused them to go up in the first place.

Looking forward not backwards is everyones motto. But my thought for the day is how can we learn, if we dont look backwards.
