It's been too long....again

Well, it seems like I go thru phases with this whole blog thing. Bloggin like a mad woman for a couple of months...MIA for a couple of months... I'm back in action, for now. For those of you who weren't along for the ride, here's a recap of the last 4 months:

- Back to school for the boys.
- Na-Na started kinder.
- Na-Na likes kinder, but keeps getting in trouble for talking too much.
- Na-Na also gets in trouble for pushing other "friends".
- Na-Na and the principal are now BFFs.
- Bubba is doing better in school - no more daily behavior reports - Yea!
- Bubba is even a student council rep for his class.
- Both kids growing like weeds and eating everything in sight.
- Speaking of eating...went to get dog food, came home with a new puppy - Buddy.


- Buddy eats everything...puppy food, chew toys, grass, sticks, kids toys, pillows, jackets, shoes, kitchen rugs, carpet, door frames...
- Buddy is lucky to be alive...
- Buddy is getting better and slowly learning the rules...slowly...really.
- Our other dog, Daisy, not always a fan of Buddy either...he eats her food, too.
- Daisy is almost 13 years old and it is showing - sad...
- Halloween was cool - we had a ninja and one of the Incredibles.
- Thx dunes vacation cancelled...boo.
- Alternate, last-minute Thx vacation to LA was fun...train rides, museums and more.
- I got a promotion at work just before x-mas break - yea!
- Christmas came and went in a blur.
- Kids said Santa was nicer this year.
- Santa got smart.
- Kids are still all about quantity not quality.
- Santa bought a lot of little things instead of fewer big ticket items.
- Kids were thrilled.
- All of this agreed very nicely with Santa as Santa is a cheap bastard... :)
- Quiet New Years. Na-Na and Eugene sacked out early, Bubba and I stayed up to watch the ball drop on TV (we woke up Eugene just in time)
- Eugene hurt his shoulder at work and was on "light duty" for 2 months.
- Now Eugene is home and officially physically disabled (we already knew he was mentally disabled)
- I am stressed out about him being hurt and not being able to work.
- Eugene is gonna have surgery next month.
- I am stressed out about him being hurt and not being able to work!
- It could be a 4-6 month recovery period.
- I am stressed out about him being hurt and not being able to work!!!! AAAHHH!
- I finished another PM class.
- I only have one more PM class to go - yea!
- It started yesterday - boo!

Okay, I think those are the highlights. I am sure there was more, but I have probably blacked everything else out.

Before I go, I thought I would post a bit about New Years resolutions. I made a few, mostly centering on being more organized at home and health focused. As of week 2, I am happy to say that I am doing rather well so far. Here are some of the things I am working on:

- Stop letting the mail pile up on the kitchen counter. Open it, read it and deal with it appropriately each day.
- Commit to loading up the dishwasher every evening. No more lazy, "I'll do it in the morning" nights.
- Fold the clothes as they come out of the dryer. No more digging through big heaps of clean clothes on my couch to find a pair of socks.
- My shoes belong in my closet, NOT all over my living room.
- I will commit to actually doing the stretches that my chiropractor THINKS I am doing every morning.
- I will lose 15 pounds (already lost 5 of these by the way...yea!)

Well, I am about blogged out. This year looks promising...stay tuned to find out how it goes.

:)
