Blah, Blah, Blog
That’s how I feel today. Before Christmas, I had a million ideas for blog posts. Now that I’ve been off from work (and have a little more time to blog), I can’t seem to remember what they were. Stupidly, I forgot to write down my ideas.
With the New Year speeding its way into my life, I’ve tried to think of a few resolutions. But, I know that I never stick to them. Resolutions only work for about three weeks – a month if I’m lucky – and then I go back to my old ways.
I always vow to go to the gym, eat healthier, exercise more, and spend more time with family, worry less about work, blog more, etcetera, and etcetera.
What I really need is to make a resolution to stick to my resolutions. Is that possible?
Every day that I’ve been home with Dawson has been a non-stop SpongeBob SquarePants marathon. I am so sick of the square sponge, and I actually like that show. I didn’t really care for it in the beginning, but Doug has helped me to see the error of my ways. It’s actually quite funny.
Recently, we started watching Barnyard, and I’ve been cracking up at these funny cartoon cows, and other farm animals on the show. Dawson likes it, too. It’s really cute.
It snowed like crazy on Friday morning, and Friday afternoon. When Doug got home from work, I made him bundle Dawson up in his winter gear to take him outside. The child had so much energy to burn. I figured if he helped Daddy shovel, he would tire quickly and I could get some time to myself.
After a little while I went outside, too. I took some pictures of the little man shoveling snow with his Daddy. He was more or less blowing snow around and not helping much at all, but it sure was cute to see him try.
The potty training is kind of lagging. I’m trying not to push Dawson too much, so we’re just going with the flow. Literally. I’ll update his progress in another post. I’m tired of all the potty talk.
Tomorrow, we’re having wireless internet installed so that I can use my laptop at home. Right now, we’ve got Charter high-speed on the PC, but then only one of us can use the internet. This is such a burden, so I called the company and I was amazed that I could add wireless to our existing account for an additional $4 a month. Had I known that, I would have done this a long time ago. I thought it would be very expensive to add this feature.
My parents are having a New Year’s Eve party tomorrow night. Our family friends will be there, and I told my husband that I want to drink and he can be the designated driver. Otherwise we’re staying overnight at my parents house. He’s not too keen on that idea, but I think it’s time I got to have some fun, too.
So, other than hanging out at home and following the almost-potty-trained little boy around, nothing very exciting is happening. It’s actually kind of nice not to have to worry about going places and doing things. I’m trying to enjoy this time while I can. Soon enough, I’ll be back at work, wishing I had more time off.
Happy Early New Year, everyone!

Wireless is awesome. There’s nothing better than having the laptop in the kitchen to look up recipes. Also couch blogging. It’s wonderful.

We love our wireless. With two adults, one teen, and one in college (and home for the occasional weekend or break), wireless is the only way to go in our house. As long as lightning doesn’t fry our modem again…knock on wood.

Yes, wireless rocks! Finally got me out of the basement -hehe. I too am SICK of the potty training war. ‘Nough said. That and - will it ever stop snowing? If we keep up at this rate, we will be completely buried by March.
