2010-- A Year in Numbers


1 family member lost- RIP Zoe
68 times I came home expecting to hear Zoe's tail wagging welcoming me home
68 times I was so grateful to not have to clean up dog poop

100 music lessons paid for and driving to and from
7500 hours practicing violin and piano
24 buttons busted while watching children perform

1 kid added to the family
10 years added to my life
22 the amount of times people have asked me if we are "done"

500 meals delivered through "Meals on Wheels"
50 the number of times one of my meals on wheels recipient has said "you look too young to have 4 children."
50 the number of times that compliment made me feel good. (Yes, I am that needy!)

33 times Eden colored somewhere she shouldn't (books, walls, body, beds, etc.)
33 times cleaning and doing consequences before I finally got smart and threw away the markers

6 average hours of sleep per night
8 average hours NEEDED of sleep per night
27 cranky whiny moments during the day from lack of sleep FOR MOM!

4 beautiful, needy, funny, whiny, sweet, frustrating children
13 moments a day of "this is madness"
infinite moments a day of laughter, sweetness, fleeting childhood
