Children and Dogs are no Respector of Time, let me tell you! After staying up to ring in the New Year properly with a toast with Sparling Apple cider, an awesome kiss and some Firework Poppers and Confetti, we got home close to 1 a.m., and it was after 1 before all the teeth were brushed and all of us were in bed with eyes closed. Yet, didn't stop the dogs from coming up at 7:45 a.m. to be let out to do their thing! And almost as soon as I let them out, here comes Setheroo, and he wants to watch Dora. In sheer desperation for just a few more moments (read: hours) of sleep, I put one of our standby Dora episodes on and pulled a blanket over me on the couch as I tried to sneak a few more minutes of sleep in. It seemed every 15 minutes, Seth was telling me it was over or it was a commercial, but at least I squeezed another 45 minutes of rest in. It was enough, along with a Diet coke, to help me get through the day!
It really has been a terrific day, with that mild exception. I was able to spend time with my big sis, Suzanne, at Taipan (is that one word or two? I never can recall!) and then I moved some furniture in my new office at work. And then the Chief wanted to start a new family tradition of having Chinese food on New Year's, so we took the boys out to eat. Seth decided he doesn't like any of the things they serve there, because afterall, they don't have Mac and Cheese. But then he spotted a fried shrimp, which looked a little like a chicken nugget, I guess, because he wanted it. And he thought my hot sauce looked like ketchup and he wanted to dip it. We tried to warn him, all four of us really did, but to no avail...he wanted to dip it. And you know what? He loved it! He loved it so much that he politely requested that I "get the guy back here so I can have some more of this stuff!" so when I didn't flag the guy fast enough, he took matters into his own hands and got him to our table. We ordered Seth 2 more fried shrimp with hot sauce, and he ate it all! Who knew that my picky eater would chose that of all things?!
Anyhow, after that, the Chief and I went on a date with our good friends, C & S. We decided to go bowling. Afterall, what would be a better thing to do with friends after all of us have been sleep deprived?! It proved to be a good evening for the 3 of them, but I realized once again that bowling is just not the sport for me. Unless of course, it is the wii version...that I can do and all those bowling lessons I had back when I was 12 really do pay off...but I find that only is the case when it is the wii version! And Finally we finished the evening off with a fun game of cards, which I did excel in tonight, claiming the first Victory of the year! Yeah me!
Anyhow, now it is late...later than I had planned for tomorrow I have to return to work...people are counting on me...thankfully not to knock down pins. Hope your 2010 is the start of a wonderful decade for you and for me too!
