Happy New Year everyone. I hope that today brings everyone and their children many smiles, along with a good year to come!

I met some of my HS friends for dinner and a college bowl football game early yesterday - then we all tired and went our merry ways around 9.

I think I went to bed around 10 - complete with a huge dog underneath of me because he was scared of the fireworks. He is my curly red one - and about 55 pounds so that is no small dog. I said you are too big to be a teddy bear - but he was scared and so I let him sleep with me.

DS is still with his dad and comes home tomorrow.

Tell us what you did for the New Year!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I went to my niece's house and two of my sisters and their kids were there. My best friend and her kids went also. We ate junk and played different games until midnight and one of the new ones we played was Catch Phrase. It was so fun! We laughed until our sides were hurting.

The evening could have been dampered by my friend's daughter's cell phone. She was talking to her boyfriend and some teenage drama crap got started. She was crying, my daughter was just mad about the whole thing because her friend was hurt. I ended up taking them home (a 20 minute one-way drive by the way) and going back. I was NOT going to let it upset me. Personally, I didn't think the kid needed to be on her cell phone anyway..I thought it was rude. I feel for her that all that happened but still! I'll probably call and check on her today.

Anywho, I rang in the New Year with my family and had a blast.

Okay, so I might be the only one... but I didn't bring in the New Year with any family activity! I got the kids to bed at the usual time (trying to get them back on track for the school schedule, as they go back on the 3rd!).


But Hiker did come by with sushi as we'd planned. And watched a movie (300- which we saw in the theater already, but put the HD-DVD on anyway). And then we sandwiched the new year midnight mark with

Well, I didn't start off the new year with a bang like Shrimps did (ducking, running for cover, lol), but I did go out and have fun.
