Happy New Year!

I had to change the look of my blog, and I know it looks like summer...but honestly I have to remind myself of summer because this is the time of year I get the winter blahs. I look out my window and I see the banks of snow (that are close to 2 feet) and know we are expecting six more inches over night tonight and I go a little stir crazy. I am not a winter fan, as you all should know, I can literally stay in the house for days on end, especially when there is no school. I think one time I stayed in for four or five days with out stepping outside. Anyway that is why I spend most of my time outside in the summer....getting all my intake of "outside time" while I can. As most of you know I also love when it gets into the 90s (probably one of the few). My daughter takes after me in this respect. So far I can make her go out at least once a day to get some fresh air (when it is not 20 below) but as she gets older I am sure she will hibernate with me. She only stays out for about 15 minutes at the most.
Here I go again letting my thoughts wander and really have no point, but you all get to read it anyway. We spent New Years Eve in with our kids....how different from when we were single with no kids....we had lots of snacky foods and the kids loved the sparkling "wine" (kiddy variety) they were allowed to drink. We ate, danced, and played the wii and all managed to stay up till midnight, eve "F" after he was woken up because we were being too loud. When all was said and done we had a blast but I think "C" said it best...That's it, that's what New Years about. We watched a little of the New Years programming. This is the first year we allowed the kids to stay awake.
About my new years resolutions..well I did not drink any Mt. Dew yesterday, but I did find a loop hole in that I can drink different pop, so I think I will revise and say I can only drink all types of pop 3 times a week. That might be more manageable. I did not get my 5 fruits in veggies in, but I came close, I think it will be easier when the kids are in school and we are back on a schedule. As for walking, are you crazy it was below zero again.
Well that is all for now, doesn't my mind scare you a little the way it roams from one thing to the next, I try to hold it back a bit but sometimes it just gets out of control. A lot of time "B" will point blank ask me how I got from point a to point b in a conversation and it will amaze him of my thinking process :)
I hope you had a wonderful New Years Eve (and went to better at a more reasonable time than we did) and a great New Years Day. May the next year be blessed with many good surprises for you and your family.
P.S. Seriously, where did 2008 go? I can hardly believe another year has passed, where are we rushing to?
