Happy New Year!

Written on 1-1-11. :)

2011 is here. This should be a big year in our house for many reasons.

a) We should finally be moving into our REAL home..the one I intend to grow old in.
b) Our oldest son is leaving elementary school, entering 7th Grade, turning 13!
No more Kidz Choir plays, he's movin on up to YOUTH! Please let him continue to make good choices at school too.
c) Our younger daughter, Princess P, starts kindergarten. This leaves me with just Si Guy for half a day each day. Hope he doesn't get too lonely. Heck, hope I don't get too lonely, or crazy. Might be a little late for crazy though.
d) Si Guy will finally finish potty training....Our home will diaper/pull up free for the first time in, well, about 13 years. Part of me LOVES this. Part of me hates it. No diapers, means no babies after all, and I'm a confirmed infant addict. Fortunately I have a few friends with babies right now, so I can ease off them gradually. Not sure whether to dance or cry.
e) We *may* take a real, just because vacation with some friends for the first time, ever. (If the week Mr M is not on pager is not a kids camp week.) We will take a day or two to see family, ((how could be be in WI and not??) but for the most part it'll be a purely recreational trip, if it happens.
f) Even if the above doesn't happen, we will take a family camping trip, because our kids will tar ,feather, and duct tape us to our beds in our sleep if we don't. That though, will be taking a spin on the "wheel o' relatives!" Texas? Wisconsin? California? Indiana? North Carolina? So many destinations, so little money and time...

Wherever we go, whatever we do, God knows what's best and it'll be great. It's all good, all the time. 2011, here we come! Ready or not.
