Happy New Year!
We've been celebrating here. My dad turned 80 last week and we threw him a surprise dinner. (And were really glad when yelling "SURPRISE" didn't cause him to have a heart attack. Fortunately, he had just had angioplasty the week before. Otherwise, who knows? It might have been traumatic.)
Cheer turned 9. NINE! He's really 9 now. He's adorable and I wish I could bottle him up. Or clone him. Except for right after he's been out on his pogo stick or playing basketball. Then he kinda stinks.
School opened it's doors again yesterday! Halle-freaking-lujah! I love the break from homework and alarm clocks and uniforms. But six people cannot get along for twelve days in close quarters. They cannot. If you don't believe me, I have video. Also? Now I have the new iPad all to myself for a few hours. Because I never got a turn with it while the kids were home.
It's a New Year. Big changes are coming this year. Tide is graduating from 8th grade. Starting high school. The big full-ride scholarship to some high school is coming. I just know it. (Ok, so that won't happen.) Hopefully a job for me. I'm still completely conflicted about what to do with myself. School, no school. New career, old career. Easy, flexible job. Actual important job with responsibilities. Someone please tell me what to be when I grow up.
Did you make any resolutions?
I want to get 8 hours of sleep a night. (I probably should have picked something easy like running a marathon or writing a book.) So far, it's only happened one night. Baby steps.
Here's to a 2012 with more good than suck. (Optimistic, I know.)

Cheers! Here's to much more good, and much less suck!
Unfortunately, Suck is inevitable. It takes work to notice Good.
So let's resolve to the work of finding good! I'm in, are you?
Happy 2012, Sue! I like your sleep goal. That's a really tough one, but jeez, I bet it would be good for you, huh?
Sleep would be awesome!!!I have long forgotten what it feels like to sleep for more than 4 hours. I WON (Yes WON)an iPad right before Christmas (hello free family gift!) and I now have it back as well. 18 keeps trying to convince me "needs it for school", but I bet his fancy school does not have a Fruit Ninja class...
New years resolution? Survive. That's it. Happy new year!
