It's finally over..
Today is finally the last day of Christmas break and I am soooo happy!!
The oldest is finally feeling better and is good to go come tomorrow and now we just have to make sure that the others don't come down with it.
We have been so busy with company that is nice to have our house back to just us and I am looking forward to getting into the usual school schedule with eating dinner at a decent time and getting the kids to bed at there regular time. The hubby and I were talking today how it feels like for the last week we have eaten nothing but junk, so starting tonight we are having a regular dinner that you have to cook. I just write that we are going to cook a meal tonight and the hubby comes in and asks if we should just go pick something up for dinner...he totally blew it!! haha
About a month ago we got a dog..we had to put my snoopydog to sleep..so we went to the Humane Society and looked at all of the different ones they had. While we were they we came across Dottie..she is part Shar-pei and yellow lab..well we fell in love with her and adopted her. She has been a great dog until this morning..we come down this morning and she decided to chew on a couple of the toys that we have for my great niece to play with..she bit a hand off of one of the Barbie's and couple of animal toys that Riley got from the Rainforest Cafe. The hubby had gotten into the habit of not putting her in her kennel at night..well that is all changing tonight..the little terd. She is two years old so I thought that she would be all done with the chewing things up..I told my niece that she is getting naughty and she told me that she is just getting comfortable with her new home..I'm glad that she is comfortable but she better not destroy much more!!
Well better go figure out what to have for dinner now...darn him for even suggesting eating out!! haha

Happy New Year!!
Happy New Years to all!! I hope that this year brings happiness for everyone.
I am in a way glad to see 2005 gone. It has been trying years in some ways and now it is over..actually the trying part was over before the holidays..but now I can say it is a clean slate for 2006 and I know that the same mistakes won't be made.
We didn't do much of anything for New Year's. My niece and her daughter came for dinner and then we watched a movie..oh and played Nickel0de0n trivial pursuit. I would have to say that I suck just as much at that game as I do the regular versions. haha The hubby and I did stay up with the kids to ring in the new year together and we had some non-alcoholic champagne for them to celebrate with. I have a feeling that this is the last year that the oldest will probably celebrate with us..oh no I guess he will for a couple of more years because he will still have a 10:30 curfew..sucks to be him!! haha
I am glad that the holidays are behind us..we have been going nonstop since Tuesday because my nephew was home for the week. We did a little too much drinking on Tuesday night and I had to work on Wednesday..thank goodness I had Thursday and Friday off on vacation and we have Monday off for our holiday so a nice 5 day weekend for me!! I love when the Christmas holidays fall this way..it means an extra day off of work.
The oldest has been sick since Wednesday..the horrid flu..today he finally was running a normal temp and eating more. I feel bad because his Christmas vacation sucked since he was stuck in bed for most of it, but he will survive. Only two more days and they get to go back to school and I think in a way we are all dreading it. I really enjoy getting up in the morning to a quiet house and not having to get anyone ready but me..kind of selfish..since I know that this is really the last year the Riley is going to let me help her pick her clothes out. It scares me some days when she dresses herself..she is such a tomboy and always borrows her brothers t-shirts and then she ends up looking like a boy. Oh well what are ya going to do!! haha
Well my main reason for posting was to say Happy New Year and than I just ended up rambling about nothing..oh well. I guess I will get heading to bed since the whole excitement for the new year is over.
