365 days. 1 year. 2012
2012 seemed longer than other years.
January started with a storm that closed schools for two days. Snow days don't happen in our neck of the woods, so a two day school closure was noteworthy. January also started a 6 month long insurance nightmare. The Hubs had every medical test known to man in 2011. The tests showed a ruptured cervical disc C-6/7. He found a surgeon in Spokane, WA that routinely performs disc replacement. PROBLEM... insurance decided that the ruptured disc was preexisting and retroactively denied all claims for the entire year. Yep, insurance HELL.
February: insurance HELL continued. The Hubs continued teaching middle school, (I think he is a saint) I persevered at the University, and the boys did well in school.
March: insurance HELL continued, orthodontist appointments, and Resident Teenager turned 14! Yikes, I know that I cried because I am that sappy and uncool!
April: insurance HELL continued, middle school wrestling, Resident teenager's health scare, echo-cardiogram, and the first hints of spring.
May: insurance HELL continued, Mother's Day, finals, and sweet sons.
June: insurance HELL continued, summer school, Resident Little Dude turned 9, band camp, sweet husband, Father's Day, and BBQ.
July: insurance HELL resolved and surgery appointment made, camping trips, and road trips. We are lucky to have an amazing friend that watched the boys while we traveled to Spokane, WA. It sucks to be in a strange city while a loved one has surgery.
August: recovery, HOT, and back to school denial.
September: back to school adjustments, Physics HELL, High School, wonderful sisters, marching band, 4th grade, and more recovery.
October: Halloween, Resident Little dude as a necromancer, trip to the ER complete with IV, genetic testing, relief, All State Band, multiplication tables, Physics HELL, supportive friends, and more physical therapy.
November: thanks, term papers, tears, Physics HELL, saxophone lessons, 17th anniversary, orthodontist appointments, and doctor appointments.
December: 5:30 am swim practice, Pep band, finals, survived Physics HELL, Christmas programs, band concerts, swim meets, definitive AS diagnosis, tears, broken hearts, love, and family.
Goodbye 2012--- Welcome 2013!
