Clean socks are a privilege, not a right

2009 …. trepidation or excitement???

January 5, 2009 by Kerry Sauriol 3 Comments

For the last few years, my NY wishes have usually sounded like ‘Please, nobody DIE this year.’…Our clan has faced a lot of stress and heartache over the last few years….it has tended to make New Years a time to hunker down and hope for the best.

Our holiday was also marred a tad with worrying about Pat’s Grandmother..she is in hospital and is feeling very depressed about it all.

With it all, I haven’t been great at communicating with folks…..hence boring blog and lack of calls to all those who are due, not to mention the people I forgot to send Christmas cards to!

Today, I am just happy that I am not sick and that our car was safe and sound – see THIS post about our BIG adventure last night.

I am glad that the snow seems to be FINALLY melting.

I am glad that schoold is back..bless my boy…I adore him, but the CHATTER!!!

I am glad that despite weather and sickness I did manage a brief night out with my best friend home from DC for the holidays.  While we email and FB all the time, it was wonderful to hang with her IRL.

I am glad for my hubs that his website is up and running and is frikking awesome.

My house looks like a war zone.

The denuded tree is lurking right behind me awaiting a trip to the chippers.

The detrious of Christmas is still ground into our already ‘Crunchy’ carpets.

My new boss wonders why he hired me as I totally flaked off on him over the holidays.

Poor guy.

But I feel good today.  The mess will get dealt with, on my own time.

I refuse to stress about it or anything these days…(Well, I have one BIG stressor right now, but can’t share yet!)…but other than that…..messy houses and work and everything else….I just can’t get THAT agitated about it all.

    I can’t even tell you how sad I was to learn my daughter’s preschool was closed today due to weather. I’m glad you didn’t face a similar situation.

    And do I smell a secret?

    This NY my only mantra is, “Health.” On all levels, I can stand to be healthier. And too many of my friends are living with cancer at the moment.

    So, To Health! Or, as we say around here, Salute!
