2011!

Happy New Year! We had a lovely Eve at the Pierces watching South Carolina lose to Florida State....I hate Florida State....I think this is why a migraine came on. So Coleen and Christian got to see how much fun I am when I have a headache creeping across my head. Not much, I can assure you. Spent the Day watching football with my man....the SEC has had a much better day today. Jon and Megan are making a red velvet bundt cake (don't ask) and poor Cassidy is working on homework...I know...it's these, excuse my french, f'ing math tiles....they are bound to be the end of 4th grade for us....my friend who had this teacher warned me about them. And she was right. They suck. I took a nice nap during the football games, with Maks curled up with me. So far, 2011 is okay with me.
What do I want for this year? of course, the usual things - for our families to be healthy and happy, etc...but some other things .... I want peace between me and my children, and between the two of them. I want Jon to love his job and new company. I want our new insurance not to bankrupt us. I want Lauren to give that first girl a safe home in Africa and for that child to know real peace, safety and love. I want Daniel to rock Marine boot camp. Jon wants me to watch less tv...I'm not sure I'm feeling that one. I want to tone up my flabby spots (yes, skinny people can be flabby too). I want to be a stronger wife. and mother....which I think will cancel out the peace between me and the kids....oh well, I guess you can't have everything...
Mayhem said he couldn't believe just 11 years ago, he was the Y2K bug.... hahahahaha!
