The First Two Days of 2009

For the first time in a LOOONG time, Hubby and I stayed up with Son until after midnight. I didn't want to. I was so tired, since I get very little sleep anyway (I have multiple sleep disorders), but lost the fight to kid who needed monitoring.

I was up with the sunrise on Thursday, January 1 2009. Made breakfast according to our new Grain Rotation Diet schedule (grits and eggs). Then Hubby got down to work. Literally. He had brought home his work computer because he had end-of-the-year reports to prepare, and they HAD to be done on the first. He was at it all day. Not fun. We didn't go anywhere. Didn't play any games. Didn't even take a walk. We had a tiny bit of excitement when Son noticed Chihuahua's front paw was bleeding (so she's had a bandage on her paw since - cause unknown).

(I hope Hubby's boss realizes he gave up his holiday to do work, and appropriate appreciates him.)

Today I got up at 4:30 a.m. to let the dog out the back door and prepare Hubby's lunch. Then we listened to the weather while he got ready. So much for the predicted warm weekend: today's high will be 61 degrees (yes, here in the Colorado Rocky Mountains), but we're getting a snow storm this weekend! Unbelievable. No wonder everyone is getting sick.

Well, that's ok. I've been "predicting" an odd Winter for months, and guess I'm getting it. I also feel strongly that we're going to have a huge snow storm before Spring, so it's a good thing we're preparing.

We have big plans for this year. Hope to get the farm and our animals. Hope Son catches up on math (that really confuses him). Hope to get along better as a family. Hope to either get pregnant or adopt. So much for this year.

It's almost 9 a.m. Thinking I'll go sit on the front porch and enjoy the warm weather while the dishwasher runs and Son eats breakfast. Enjoy your day!
