Happy New Year! I'm just a little late. And Christmas. Crap. Oh, and Hanukkah. Um. Yeah. WTH? Thankfully my new year's resolution is to become re-addicted to the Internet. I have really been slacking lately. I don't even check my email every day anymore. How have I let this happen? I am so ashamed.
One major distraction? My family. Jesus Christ do they have NEEDS. And lately, as this household has succumbed to one communicable illness after another, their needs have had needs. I feel like I have done more laundry in the last 4 weeks than I did in the entirety of my twenties. And we have molars coming in too. Willa's that is. It's been fun around here. Actually it really has been fun when it hasn't been pukey or poopy. We had a really lovely holiday break that somehow wasn't overshadowed by the ick. There was lots of cozy family time and, thank God given the state of our health, zero travel. Lowell and Willa were showered with gifts for both the gift-giving holidays that we celebrate and, Lowell especially, was charmed by the magic of the season. Although he has fully moved on to the next fantastical creature that will invade his home and bring him gifts and candy.
L: Is the Easter Bunny coming?
Me: Yeeees. Not for awhile though.
L: Is the Easter Bunny nice?
Me: Sure.
L: As nice as Santa?
Me: Nobody is as nice as Santa, kid.
L: Where does the Easter Bunny live?
Me: (Genuinely stumped). Uh, I really don't know.
L: Hmm. I think he lives at the East Pole.
Okay, I have made the first step in my journey back to Internet addiction. Next up, going to open my RSS reader tomorrow. One day at a time, one day at a time.
