Happy New Year

A new year! I always like the new year - it always feels fresh - like the first day of school. So full of hope - like anything is possible. My resolution this year is to make Sal do more things for herself. I've found out that I have been doing things for her out of habit, not pushing her to be more independent.

We went out to eat this morning and then to Menards for new blinds. :-) Bill put them up as soon as we got home - they look very nice. I'll put up the valance tomorrow - I'm thinking of getting a new rod - I'll have to see.

Got all my secret Santa gifts - now I just need to box them and mail them. I have a BUNCH of stuff - had a good time with the after Christmas sales. :-)

Doing menus for next week- it all starts big and bold. Jack's got basketball on Monday - Sal bowling on Thurs and then swimming on Sat along with basketball for Sal. The break has been nice. Jack's been having a great time playing with his friends. Sally is more of a home body and we've been reading and doing math work.

She's back into bugging me about Yoga. Guess we'll start that again. Jack likes to try it but I'm not sure how he'll like doing it when there's school. He can be a real grump in the morning. :-)

Well, here's hoping we all have less apologies to make and more to be thankful for in 2009!!!!!
