Wait... it's 2007?

I'm having a hard time accepting the fact that it's 2007. It's even hard to type.

But enough of that.

I'm just so glad that it's normal again. Well, as normal as can be expected. I will say, though, that it was hard rolling out of bed yesterday to bring Elisan to school. But, it had to be done and as much as I enjoyed having her home for the Christmas break, I was happy to send her back to school. But, don't call me a bad mother, because she was just as ready to go back to school as I was ready to send her back. KM missed her though... and that was kind of sad.

Yesterday was spent with trash bag in hand throwing away the stock-pile of stash that Elisan squirrels away in every corner of the house. I can see a future of futile fighting, as I'm a tosser and she's a keeper. She must get that from her dad, because believe it or not, Randy is a keeper too. I've already noticed that KM is a tosser, like me. And, so along with trashing, I put together a nice donation for our local Goodwill store. (I love Goodwill!)

This past weekend, Randy and I trekked out to the home improvement store to buy my Christmas present! A NEW DOOR! Only, when we got there I was appalled at the prices of new doors. I'm not talking fancy solid wood doors with wrought iron scrolls in the glass panes either. I'm talking plain 'ol fiberglass doors with a window! Ummm...we're not getting a door any time soon because I have a list of stuff I want to do to the house and getting a new door is about 5th on that list. I'd much rather put that money towards... say,... new flooring, etc. Of course, Randy is probably saying to himself, a dollar dodged is a dollar saved. But, not me... I'll squirrel this away to myself and remind him later on about the time when we didn't get a new door, so we could one day have money to install new floors. We'll see how that pans out for me. My gut is tellin' me that I'm a sucker, but who knows...

Meanwhile, apparently Randy, KM and I have all picked up a tummy bug that is keeping us close to home. Well, "us" meaning KM and me. Yay. Gotta love that.

Well, that's all for now. I'll be around...



P.S. - Don't look for any New Year's Resolutions from me. I hate disappointment.
