Today is the first day of January, 2009. I’d say it was a new beginning…but it really isn’t. My family is the same. My home is the same. My work is the same. And. That. Is. How. I. Like. It!
Last night we were going to get together with friends – but Tis the Season you know – and they had to cancel due to illness. So, when other friends called to invite us for ‘Brats at their church, we said “Yes!” and it was great. Though we had to leave soon after 8pm as JGirl was too tired. The minute we got home, she started waving bye-bye…her nightly tradition that means get-me-to-bed-asap!
I went to bed at 9pm. The Hubs and boys light the fire and watched some tv – I think they made it to midnight.
Today we’ve laid around…I worked…did laundry…bought groceries…made dinner and now I’m loading Turbo Tax on my laptop. Going to plug in some numbers and see what info we still need to pull together.
Yeah…boring. But not-boring is Not-fun. I am all about a boring 2009! Here’s to hoping! 😉
LOL – never thought about it that way, but boring sure has its advantages 🙂
We got to ring in the new year twice last night: once at my dad’s (he gets the east coast feed of many channels, so saw teh ball drop at 9:00pm) and then again here at home – the kids like to stay up – we saw it drop at midnight.
Happy New Year!
Hah! I would beg to differ about the sameness of your life. Since January 2008 you have added at least one family member (some more extended) and have moved house to your OWN home. Pretty big changes I’d say…but that’s just me, right?
Sounds like a nice time… I rather like “boring” days… They are always so relaxing!
That’s so sweet that Jgirl waves bye-bye to go to sleep. One of my nieces always twirled her hair. It was actually a VERY helpful clue because she’d even do it once she was older and being crabby. It helped us to know when she really NEEDED a nap, even when she didn’t want one!
