Happy New Year! May this year be a blessing to you!
New Year's Eve started with a bang when I realized I sort of had a throat-sinus thing starting. I immediately starting drinking water with 2 drops of lemon essential oil every hour and by lunch I felt well enough to drive to the city to go shopping. We enjoyed a great day of shopping and eating pizza at our favorite health store, Lucky's, (the best pizza...really!) and pick up crazy cheap fruit and veggies. They were out of our favorite donuts but we managed to get chocolate covered bacon donuts....yes...you read that right. I forgot to get a pic of these and honestly I wasn't up to eating the bacon but my sons say they were good. A certain mama who will remain anonymous peeled off the chocolate bacon and ate the chocolate covered donut when no one was looking.
Last night the kids decided they wanted to stay up until midnight. I suspect this was brought on by no less than 3 people asking the kids while we were grocery shopping if they were were staying up. Normally I wouldn't be game for this but I was feeling pretty good after my lemon essential oil protocol so...I let them....sort of. Honesty by 11 I was toast and they could have made it until 12 but I let them watch the ball go down in Times Square on the internet and called it good. The short people were asleep within 10 minutes of bed, I know this because I wasn't far behind and I checked on them.
Though I think resolutions are kind of goofy ours is: we will DECLUTTER!
Really, I mean it this year. We've already started on the garage and gasp! It's almost done which is amazing considering the awful condition it was in. We moved in when #1 son was 3 and #2 son was 18 months. They are 9 and 7 respectfully and I had yet to declutter the garage which had become the dumping zone for all things kids. We are approximately 1/2 done and if my health will hold out I *think* we may be done by Saturday. Yay us! I will post the before and after's when were done because I'm not brave enough to show just the before without the clean after.
And for a laugh here's what #1 son says he wants: Lederhosen! He has asked me for a couple of weeks but I thought after they stopped watching Richard Scarry's Busy Town it would stop but I just overhead some play with legos going on and the lego dude is apparently wanting a pair of lederhosen. As of course is common, they were not in stock according to how the play went....
I'm still laughing over that one.
They are now carpet skating because it's 20 degrees outside and no snow. Perhaps I'll skate with them and then start the dinner?
