It is New Years Day!!

Wow! It seems the older I get the faster the years fly by. New Years Eve now finds me in bed by 9:30. My father in Law called last night to ask if we going to a party because he would watch the kids, and I ended up laughing at him at the very idea of myself staying up till midnight at a party.

Jordan comes home tomorrow. She had a great visit with her grandparents and got everything she wanted for Christmas. Every American Girl doll item she ever wanted. Now it is back to mommy and daily life. I know I have gripped about it before in a post, but it is not fair that they have this super wonderful fun filled time and she dreads coming home to boring old mommy. I try to explain to her that if she actually lived there it would not be all fun. But a couple of weeks ago she came to me and actually said she really wanted to live with them and my heart just broke. I know it was because she was grounded at the time and had a really hard time with her sister, but still those words are eating at me.

My little boy is drinking from the toilet. I am not sure where he learned it because we do not have a dog, and my cats are too stuck up to drink from a toilet. We have been keeping the lid down and it has been cleaned extra good, but I still find him in there, with head in toilet. Nasty! I looked into toilet locks, but he has learned how to take them off. Any suggestions?

Husband still has an open 2 inch gash on his back that I have to clean out and repack each morning. It is about a half inch deep. At least it is less infected and he is no longer in much pain. Only 2 more weeks and it should be closed and I can hang up my nurse hat. I was upset at him yesterday morning and found myself packing in the gauze a bit to hard. He has now learned to gauge my mood before the changing of the back.

Happy New Year!!!
