Things you've learned this year

As the year draws to an end, is there anything surprising or interesting you've learned this year? If so, share!

That the novel H1N1 was not as scary as we once thought and that for the first time in a long time seasonal flu vaccine ran out in September. We're usually begging to give the shots away in January.

That I'm a control freak. I haven't gone as far as admitting it to my husband, but I'm starting to accept it myself.

AustinBride06 · December 2009

I've learned that while not being laid-off is a good thing, afterwards sometimes you'll almost wish you were so you'd have an excuse to start from scratch somewhere else.

I've learned that my DH isn't 100% anti-kids as I thought he was. In fact, now I think he's more ready than I am to have children.

I've learned that not all people I work with are sane.

I've learned that just because you have one smart, lovely, angelic rescue dog it does not mean your second dog will also be smart, lovely and angelic. But you will eventually love him.

I've learned that most people my age who seem to be in better shape financially than we are... are either in debt or still have their parents pay for everything.

I've learned that sometimes it really is better to ask for forgiveness instead of permission... but sometimes it still makes your life hell.

Gosh I feel like 2009 was the year of let's throw Keri 9 million curve balls to see how she deals...

I am resilient, strong and definitely deserve to be put first (honestly, this time last year I was certain of the complete opposite of each one of those).
When you plan goes awry it's ok to sit back and let life happen....His plan is usually better and He knows what he is doing.
I have some rockstar friends and Nesties around me...thanks for all of your support over the past year!
We have some very scary (and cute) Nestie babies...can't wait for next year's photoshoot whenever it is.

Wow, I've had these same thoughts!

So true, unfortunately.

So true! I've learned that my husband knows I know that sometimes it's better to ask for forgiveness than permission and he hates when I do that. Hehe.

I've learned that when you lose all respect for someone, nothing they say or do can hurt you emotionally.

I learned that lay-offs can be a blessing when your job is absolutely making you miserable.

ssinca · December 2009

I've learned that we don't need "stuff" to make us happy and living a simpler life is actually kind of nice. [speaking of, I need to go through my "stuff" and purge a bit]

I've also learned to appreciate my family more since we don't see them too often.

Jen1007 · December 2009

I've learned that I can be a real B!TCH! I know that this sounds terrible, but it is true. I am really really nice to strangers, but can be a real jerk to the ones I love. Thank goodness DH is patient

I have been very on edge this year and I plan on working on this for the year 2010.

shanwalk2 · December 2009

I have learned that being a patient, loving, good wife isn't as easy at it once seemed. I need to work on 'letting go' and being more thoughtful to DH.

With DH's unemployment for the last year, I have learned to live with less. This has been so vaulable, as we have the opportunity to save now that he has a job.

I have learned that DH actually does have that "I'm the man - and I want to be the breadwinner" ideals - and I learned that I'm okay with that... and looking forward to it. (Maybe not as independant as I once was... and it feels great to be able to depend on him).

I've learned that you just have to listen to advice and forget it. Our parents both are offering advice from the kindest place in their hearts - but we gotta do what we need to do... regardless.

I've learned that I really want a baby... but I need to wait for the right time. Waiting has been harder than I expected.

I could keep going for hours, but I'll stop with this.

MnMShaw · December 2009

I've learned that life is hard being a grown up and just when you think you are getting a break, it just gets hard again.

I've learned that every single second with family members is important because when you lose someone extremely close to you, it is pain like I have never known before.

I''ve learned that I really hit the jackpot with my DH. He is loving, caring, supportive, patient, and perfect for me.

I've learned a lot of patience in not speaking my mind in order to not hurt people's feelings, thanks to my MIL

gwynnetx · December 2009

just learned during a trivial pursuit game: the most common mammal in cuba is the bat.
