Bye Bye 2011, Welcome to 2012

Interesting is the only word that comes up to my mind when I think of 2011. 2011 has been a mixed bag of emotions. With a lots of up and a lots of down, the year was a roller coaster ride.

The year didn't see a good daughter in me though it saw both a good and a bad mother. The bad mom was me and the good one was my mom :P I didn't get to see a lot of my parents as much as they got to be with my daughter. No complaints on the second aspect.The daughter never stayed over at her parents' for even a night in 2011. Hope she does better this year.

The wife gifted 7 gifts to the husband for the 7th anniversary. Later celebrated husband's bday with a few friends where the friends wrote "Parpel Gudda" on the T Shirt. As a couple, we spent some time together with each other when Sumedhaa was not around. The wife got a break from the husband and he too got a break while the wife was at Canada.

Loosing and finding Sumedhaa was the biggest lack of responsibility of being a mother this year. Not being around for Sumedhaa's birthday. Later I left her at Shri's mercy to go to Canada twice for 1 month each. No toys, be it Alligator, Snake or the tag readers and books will make up for this. Yet, I have spent more time with her in 2011 than in any other year.

This year has been good for the inlaw in me. Everyone was very happy and we all enjoyed Santhosh's wedding. My mother in law left to Udupi in December when I was in Canada and I was not the reason. That was such a relief.

Had less of friends time, especially with Madhav, Varsha and Shrinath. Had a lot of good time with Sowmya, Hardik & Souvik.

Din't do very well as an Employee. Have not worked towards full utilization of my capacity. Yet got an opportunity to go onsite to Canada. That was a good achievement. 

Overall the year went on well. Financially also the year went on well thanks to Shri's movement from AOL to HP. We bought a Ford Fiesta. Helped mom to buy a Mohan Maale. Did a lot of trips with family and friends. Had been to Bandipur, Rappa Valley, Chickmagalur and finally to Wayanad. 

Just as someone said on FB, the resolutions remain the same, only the years change... The feeling is that the year 2012 is going to be something like that for me.
