Finally got some things accomplished I can feel good about. It has been a long decompression for me recovering from a semi manic school load. Questions with a multitude of options flourish my mind and I am just trying to relax into it as opposed to coming to a screeching halt of avoidance – which I must say I am quite adept at. My avoidance seeps into my everyday living. I think I deserve an award when I get some dishes done.

It is a new year and I hate that whole hype with resolutions. I have always been proud in resolving not to resolve. But alas, I do wish to better today for tomorrow. There is a long list to choose from, but what pertinent choices to unfold? Some burn in the back of my mind and I don’t quite want to bring forward and admit aloud. I would like to secretly go forth and unveil in glory what I have accomplished - but that helps me hide, and sometimes disclosure is necessary to embark.  

And sometimes fear holds us back which I need to say aloud.

Cheers to the Leaps Forward!

We made it! stayed up past midnight. We had a celebration of eating freezer to oven food, with cream soda and watched a Series of Unfortunate Events and Jack Black movies into the NewYear

Silly almost made it. i think 1130 

A little break was had at 1030 where we lit some sparklers that have been sitting in my glove compartment for ages, thought this may be an opportune time. Had a couple each then i lit off a spinny firecracker and raced them back inside due to the noise and amount of smoke- not that anyone would tell in these parts but... anywho twas fun.

Found an online countdown- and watched the official time drop, cheers!'d our gingerale and finished watching Nacho Libre.

Then i made them go to bed.

Thinking about a nap today.

 summer, sorry i mean Christmas, went well this year- nice for the kids to spend with lots of family at their Grandmas. A bit of snow when we got there but then it melted, fun was had none the less.
On the 25th we had a bit of snowfall again in the afternoon, exactly as ordered.

And then it snowed some more
great thing about temperate snow is that you can make snowballs, Cyp made a cute little snowman, the boys, well you know... it was fun to catch them in the act.

Silas woke up this morning exlaming it's January first! and immediately after, Ms Scarpino needs to give me my January calendar...kindergarten.
