Home

We’re home again!  There’s something really nice about coming home even if you were only gone for a day and a half.  We had a nice time with both sets of grandparents and Tater got lots of loot!  The Mommy and Daddy got some nice stuff too but this Christmas was all about The Princess.

The Mommy got her “Mommy” tee that’s on “The Mommy’s Ooooh I Want That List” for Christmas!  It’s really cute on!  Of course I had to wear it out to the after-Christmas sales today.  And I got bunches of gift cards so I can go shopping for free!  Gotta love spending other people’s money…

Tater was a real trooper the last couple of days having her routine all mucked up.  She took a little bit more soothing to get to sleep at nap time but, otherwise was great!  Unfortunately, the sound of ripping paper kinda freaks her out so opening presents was interesting.

On the way home I was super-tired (thank God I didn’t have to drive!) so I laid my head down on her lap in her car seat and she patted my face with her little hand.  It was so sweet!  Then she found my ear and did the same thing with it that she did with my belly button the other day.  It was funny.  Until she decided it would be a good idea to dig around in there!  OUCH! Of course that made her laugh so she wanted to do it again.  And again.  And again.  Luckily by that time we were pretty close to home.

So today is the beginning of my “It’s Not A New Year’s Resolution” resolution to take better care of myself.  After eating too much pie to actually tell you how much I ate yesterday (it’s just too embarrassing), I realized that I don’t feel good and it’s directly related to the crap that I’ve been putting in my body.  Imagine that!  Yeah, sometimes I’m kinda dense/stubborn/stupid.  So it’s going well so far today.  I ran most of our “walk” this morning.  There are too many hills to run the whole thing yet but I’m workin’ on it!  And I’ve eaten well.  Yay Mommy!  Now if I can just get through the evening without any ice cream.  I can’t promise that I can do that…
