Yes, I'm still here in 2010

YD77UJ5R58XH 
In case you were wondering, whatever happened to TheNewMe..well, I'll tell you.  My day job got in the way of my blogging.  The family consumed an inordinate amount of time and attention over the holidays, as evidenced by my Christmas wish list:

     1. Two consecutive nights of uninterrupted sleep
and oh yeah,
     2.  World peace.  Yes, me getting sleep is right up there with world peace...in my mind that is.

But, on with the New Year, Happy New Year, all the best...etc, etc.

On the subject of lists, here are my New Year's Resolutions:


Yes, you read that right - nothing.  I figure if there isn't a good 80% chance of me succeeding, I'm not going to make a list (you know, of things like exercise, eat well, don't sweat the small stuff, give more), hence the (blank) list.  I have also heard that when you write things down and tell other people, you are more likely to do it, so I am covering my bases - hence the (blank) list.  I'm still going to try and be a better person, I'm just going to be quiet about it.

I've also thought some about what my posts are going to be about this year, and for sure I have seen that the more humourous posts have seemed to be the most widely read.  Unfortunately, my holiday experiences didn't get the creative juices going, at least, none that's G-rated!

Happy New Year, Sally, glad to hear you're still here! I didn't make any resolutions either.

What is your 'bread & butter' conversation?

I am anxious to get back to the playgroups with my Moms group, and talk with some of the other moms because I want to know what they talk to their husbands about at the end of the day. If I were to truly tell my husband what goes on with my day? Well, the conversation would be inane and irrelevant. Gunnar: "How was your day honey?" Big smile. Me: "You know the usual. Lucas got up late this morning and was crabby because he didn't have enough time to play before breakfast and Liam pulled off my tiny earring, you know, the one I was so excited about getting because I thought he wouldn't notice it, and I could wear earrings again? Anyways, he pulled it off, and I grabbed it from him and set it down so I could deal with him appropriately, and I forgot about it, but when I went back to look for it I couldn't find it. It might have gotten wiped off the table when I was cleaning, so I spent part of the day sifting through the garbage looking for it, then I looked ...

Week 4 - Part 1, Fredericksburg

And here are my pictures from Fredericksburg! A bit different than you may have expected. We walked around the National Museum of the Pacific, but hardly had the chance to look in much detail (antsy 3-year old took care of that).   My husband's conclusion was while there may be some things that are German (like on the menu), some are definitely not.  But perhaps they were when the Fredericksburg immigrants moved there?  Immigrants do cling to what they know and bring those with them, while their home country evolves. Anyways, we had fun walking around and relaxing.  My dad didn't get a chance to do too much (G and I took the time to run away and put my cousin in charge of the boys and my dad).  So we had a break.  We had plans to do more sight-seeing on our way back, but we (me and G) were too tired to try. Tuesday 28th June : Cycle 2.  After checking my blood counts, I was able to get cycle 2 - Yaay!  My appointment was 9:30 am, and I ...

Summer vacation so far

2-yr old: "Waaah..!" wail, bawl. 7-yr old: "I'm sorry..I didn't mean to hurt you." 5 minutes later. 2-yr old: "Waaah..!" wail, bawl. 7-yr old: "I'm sorry..are you ok?" Loop again 10 more times today. The boys walking hand-in-hand up the stairs. 2-yr old: "My water." 7-yr old: "No, my water." 2-yr old: "No! Mine!" 7-yr old: "No! My water!" And so on for another 5 minutes. 7-yr old: "Get off me! Get off me!" Various noises, "....Ow, Ow, Ow!" 7-yr old: "Waaah..!" wail, bawl. Mama needs to sign up big brother for more full-time summer camps. Hosted Mom's club ice-cream bash at our house. In the backyard. 28 moms with at least 1 child each. You do the Math. Yikes! Papa getting a big squeeze hug from 2-year old. 7-yr old getting a big, smoochy kiss goodnight from baby brother. Splashing in the pool with the boys. Priceless.
