Blue Roses

On NYE, my family and I watched The Princess Diaries 2. Oh, with the cuteness! I was all grumpy all afternoon and it lifted me right up. I kinda crushed on Nicholas, what with the wit and books, but then he wore glasses and I was gone. <.g> But it was sweet and cute and fluffy fun and I greatly enjoyed it.

In the tradition of "what you do at midnight is what you do all year," I was smiling, chatting with friends and writing. (The same story I was writing the last two years at midnight. Perhaps I should try another story next year.)

Then it went downhill after I was awoken at 8:30 by my father, telling me mom was sick. She, hermit of the world, managed to contract influenza. You can imagine how happy she is. Poor thing is just sleeping constantly, and is just a mess. : ( I hope she feels better soon.

So this weekend, I did a lot with Josh and around the house. We got Christmas and winter stuff down. Tomorrow I start work at the pm place, so I'll be working all day again. I'm nervous about it all. I hope I get back into the groove of working with kids again.

Last week, my girl from last year came over. (Three times I saw her over Christmas break! LOL) She's so funny. She went around saying, "Josh is a big kid. Josh is a freshman in high school. Josh is a BIG kid. C is a medium kid." A medium kid! She cracks me up. Too cute.

I am fully exhausted and I really must get to bed early. (Perhaps not THIS early, but certainly before 10.) So, I wish you all a happy and healthy 2005. {{HUGS}}
