It’s been a few days since I’ve posted. Chris was off of work, so we’ve been busy. He went back to work this morning, so it’s back to the daily grind.

I’m not going to post my New Year’s Resolutions, because that would be a bit much. I always have grand plans to become a better person in the new year. It rarely happens, but maybe it will this year. I want to be a better person. You know? Resolutions are kind of gay, but if I write them down they kind of mock me and guilt me into making an effort.

I finished The Winter of Our Discontent the other day. Good book. I liked it. I didn’t like the ending all that well. That’s the thing about John Steinbeck’s books. Often, the endings leave me unsatistfied. Right now, I’m about half way through East of Eden. It is great. I love it. It’s one of those books that I just don’t ever want it to end. It’s so good. I’m two hundred and something pages into it, and I’ve not even got it half way read. I love that. It’s so interesting. I hope the ending to it is more satsifying.

Elijah has got two new teeth coming in. His top two. They broke through the gum Saturday. He’s been a bit happier. He’s getting so big.

Kyra spent the night away from home for no reason other than just for the fun of it Friday night. She had spent the night with my mom two times before. Once was when I was pregnant with Elijah and really sick, and the other time was when I was in the hospital having Elijah. Kyra had a lot of fun. She helped mom bake a cake, and played outside. She cried half way home when we brought her home Saturday evening. She was crying, “My Mammy! My Mammy!”. I’m wondering if Friday nights at Mammy’s are going to be a tradition? Friday evening, Elijah stayed with her, too, but we didn’t leave him overnight. Chris and I went out to eat and to the movies. It was so great to have time without the kids. That might sound bad, but it was still nice. I needed a break.

I haven’t posted a thing about the tsunami. It has been mentioned on every other blog I’ve read lately, but I just have no words. It really upset me a lot. To the point that I can’t watch the news about it anymore. It just makes me upset. I don’t understand it, and I don’t want to think about it.

Kyrs is going “chugga chugga choo choo”, at the moment. She’s so cute when she participates with Dora.

I don’t have much else to say, I don’t guess. I could write more, but it would be boring. I better get started on my stuff for today. The kids let me sleep till nearly ten o’clock today. I don’t know why they slept so late, but I appreciated it, since I’m not feeling quite up to par. I have a sinus infection. That reminds me…I need to make Eli a doctor’s appointment for his nine month checkup. Anyway, I’m getting a late start, but oh well. It’s not like I’m going anywhere.
