Happy New Year!!

Happy New Year to all my readers!! Which at this time is zero. I can't believe its January 1st already. I have been off work for the last 2 weeks from my main job. I had a big list of things I was going to do and get done during these 2 weeks and I don't think I have done one thing. The girls went to their dads for Christmas and had a blast. I got to see them on Christmas day for an hour or two. They were supposed to spend the day with me, but when their dad brought them to me it started snowing and snowing. Since I didn't have snow tires on my car I didn't want to try driving them back in the snow. So I opened presents with them and then they left with their dad. I got them back on Thursday and still hadn't cleaned up the wrapping paper mess from Tuesday, they did have fun helping clean it all up.

We did have a calm weekend not to much planned. I still hadn't made up my mind as to what our plans were going to be for New Years Eve. Part of me just wanted to be in bed by 9pm and part of me wanted to stay up with the girls. Well 9 o'clock came and went we watched some movies and set some puzzles. Then 10 o'clock came and I was ready for bed, so I watched the news and hoped the girls would settle down. I think I was asking for to much at that point. We then watched some Max and Ruby and before I new it, it was 11:15. We turned on the live countdown and watched some performers. Finally about 11:45 I got up and open my champagne bottle and the girls got their own sparkling cider (I even put it into some of my old wine glasses) and were they ever so excited. We did the countdown and "cling ed" our glasses together. I had to stop the girls, they were going to break the glasses. I let them go outside and bang some pots and pans, we just happened to stumble upon our neighbors letting off illegal fireworks. So we watched them for awhile. We went back inside, I had to use the bathroom and when I walked out I caught my oldest drinking out of my champagne bottle. She thought mine tasted better then hers and wanted me to share. I explained to her that's why its a mommy drink and what it would do to her if she drank anymore. She then paraded around with her glass telling everyone she was drinking beer. What her dad would have done to me had he seen her.

We finally went to bed around 1:30, both girls were asleep as soon as their heads hit the pillows. I was hoping they would sleep in till at least 11, I was close they both aroused by 10. I was so pissed, off all the days I was up early, I woke about 8:30 and had to go potty, went back to bed only to discover it had been taken over by two squirming girls. So I moved to the chair in the front room.

I always make a new years resolution and never follow through, though this year I promised my girls to spend more time with them and be a better mom. Hope everyone in blog land had a wonderful new year's. Till next time.
