I’ve made submissions in the past. I think it was 2003 and 2004, but forgot to do it the last couple of years. It’s fun trying to think of just 24 words to sum up a whole year.
Here’s my submission to Mayfly 2007.
“Pregnant. Little girl’s a teenager now. Baby’s a boy! Postpartum’d SAHM. So much love. Visited the fam. Learned to knit. He’s growing so fast! “
That’s my 2007 in a nutshell! Looking at it next to some of the other entries, it’s not all that clever or exciting. I think that’s because there aren’t enough words to describe the complexities of new motherhood (even if I’m not technically a new mom).
