Another year of crappy Christmas, birthdays,
anniversary. No movies out, no dinners
out, no relaxing on the grocery budget, no new clothes, no new toys for jack, no
nursing bras for me, no nursing rocker. More of the same, living close to the bone, agonizing over every purchase, terrified of a car failure, a health failure. There are worse lives, but damn there are
better. I am ready for the delayed gratification to cease its delay and begin gratifying us.

2011, I look to you now. Don’t disappoint.
