Over the past five years, I have learned it is just too darn hard to drag my tired, hungover butt out of bed after an evening of being overserved. So Brian tends to go to these types of festivities solo, or if I do go with him, I tend to find myself in a cab on my way home around 11pm. Brian is always left behind at the party without a thought of being tired or ready for bed in his mind.
So, that sums up New Year's Eve festivities and how they tend to work around our household.
Onto my resolutions....
1.) Less junk food. I think I need to stop buying so much junk food, and start buying more fruit, veggies and nutritious snacks. The other day Brian and Anthony talked me into buying a huge, I mean huge jug of Cheese balls at Sam's Club. Needless to say, the kids went nuts over them. (mostly Anthony - of course.) Lucas did enjoy them when we first got them home, but unfortunately we found that he had some sort of allergic reaction to them. About an hour after eating a bowl full he broke out in a terrible rash - no more cheese balls for Lucas. The funny thing is he was not as devastated as Brian was. Brian could not believe Lucas was allergic to his own all time favorite snack ever.
Anthony really enjoyed carrying the huge tub of them around and stopping occasionally to dig down in there for a taste. He was very happy to have control over the whole tub of them. I soon figured out I had to take them away as I knew if I didn't he would have a cheese ball overdose and I would be stuck changing some not so pleasent diapers for the next two days.
So, this whole cheese ball thing got me thinking that I needed to start cutting back on the junk food, and I will. I think.
This morning I tried to get his attention to ask him something and he was in a PSP induced coma. Alright, exagerating a bit, but he was really into his game.
So these are my top two resolutions for the year: Less junk food, and less T.V./video games. Will it actually happen??
I always have such good intentions New Year's day, as does everyone. But how many of us actually follow through? I guess I am not going to worry too much about it... why sweat the small stuff - so the Shelton family enjoys junk food, T.V. and video games - but who doesn't? I figure life is too short, so the heck with it!
