Happy New Year

Ah, what a lovely day. A fine start to an exciting new year. Lots of things will change this year, and some will stay the same. Profound, I know. My resolution is to stop using curse words- although they can come in handy in comedy situations.

We got up and had some hot oat bran cereal with strawberries (Jack managed to eat 9 of them before the cereal was cooked! Some green parts, too!) Jonathan put away the Christmas decorations while I cleaned in the kitchen and the spare room. We had yummy pita burgers for lunch and Jonathan met Mimi and Papa to buy our lovely new computer.

The biggest and best thing that happened all day was Jack's new calendar. We set 3 goals for January (I know, how "What Color is Your Parachute?" of me) and agreed that smily face stickers showed good behavior, "X" shows bad. If we get to Sunday and he hadn't been sent home from school then we have candles, music, dancing and dessert with dinner. I hope this works- his cranky self centered 3 year old-ness is making my nerves shake and stretch.

No drinks today. My goals for January:
1. Grocery once a week
2. Save $300
3. Run 4x a week

Happy New Year!
