My Middle Child and my son Alan (the third kid) each decided to clean the heck out of their respective rooms during the last couple days of Winter Break… which is amazing because they decided on their own. Alan collected and washed SIX loads of laundry, and… he found $40.00!
I asked him why he decided to clean his room, was he turning over a new leaf for the new year? His reply? “Maybe I’ll do it again next year, we’ll see.”
At least he’s honest. I guess.

Well, here in Northeast Ohio, the new year ushered in some warmer temps! After almost a month of not making it to twenty degrees we got socked with a warm front, of all things! Alan was building his annual snowboard ramp in the front yard and with all the snow we’ve had, he had the starting point of the ramp near a height of about 4 feet. I just went out and looked at it, it’s a pitiful foot or so high, lol. In fact, it’s just about the last remaining remnants of snowfall on our entire street. Green grass up and down and all around the neighborhood except for the pitiful remnants of the snowboard ramp. *boooo*
Funny how Mother Nature does things. Everything was so incredibly frozen for weeks! Now it’s all thawed. I wonder if that happens so that the animals and birds can get like fresh water and – you know – survive and all. Either that or it’s nature’s way of giving us an opportunity to see all the piles of dog doo that were frozen for weeks under all that snow – and clean it up. Or, get cars washed… take down the Christmas decorations without sliding off the roof and breaking our backs… all the stuff we need to do. Other than all of the above, I’ve mainly been relaxing, lol. I’ve eaten enough chocolates and nuts to choke a horse. I’ve napped. I’ve watched the kids play Wii. I’ve kicked their asses on Wii bowling. – OH, and I am good at the 100 pin game! 2684 is my score, baby!
New Years Eve I went to bed at 10:30. lol. Shane woke me at midnight for a wish and a kiss and then I remembered I wanted to participate in the One World thing and devote the first 11 minutes on 1-1-11 to thinking of those I love. So I did that and fell back to sleep. So far, it’s an EXCELLENT year – very relaxing! I gave Alan a driving lesson and we went onto a main street for the first time God help me. Then it was a prosperity meal consisting of pork roast, potatoes and veggies, and noodles. Yup, it’s gonna be a FABULOUS year!
How’s your year going? Funny, but I remember last year like it was just yesterday. *snort*

This year we decorated sorta late. Well, we actually put up half the ornaments and were going to do the other half later… turns out the day before Christmas Eve (which if you don’t know is called Christmas Adam) is the day we finally did it. We also finally brought the stockings up out of storage that day too.
Turns out, dogs have GREAT memories. Our Saint saw the dog stockings and immediately remembered good things came out of those. She got all excited and jumped around (it’s always memorable when a Saint ‘jumps around’). She barked at them, slept under them… and then finally… on Christmas morning… like magic… things came OUT of them!
