Happy New Year

Lots of stuff going on lately. Work is crazy...with all the politics and shifting going on. It's almost a little scary but at the same time I am pretty good at staying on the sidelines of any drama.

Christmas was good. The kids had a lot of fun. I was a little cranky because I was having my IBS issues and Violet was really clingy and not feeling well, so my Xmas was a little blue. But It was nice.

I violated the sanctity of my bedroom by putting a TV in it. It has always been my rule to keep TV out of the bedroom, but I think Violet needs some 4 am entertainment. Watching movies in bed sounds nice, too...so forget that rule :) We will see how it goes.

I got really behind on all my Christmas gifts because I got in over my head with projects. So most of my fam/friends will probably get a very nice Christmas package sometime in late January lol. Thats ok though.. Gifts are fun to give no matter what "holiday"it is..

Jaren got his DS and he plays it all the time. It has a camera so he is always sneaking shots of everyone. It was fun seeing him in Karate class tonight with his orange belt. I am so proud of my boy :)

Anyway. I am currently waiting for my hair to finish bleaching. It seems to be taking forever, but at least it is not burning like fire this time.  I felt like dying my hair. I hop it doesnt look like shit but I bought a box of red so I can just dye it back if I hate it. Fingers crossed I dont end up bald tonight.

Violet is talking a lot. She says so many words! She can pretty  much tell you what she needs. Guess it is time to start potty trianing, at least a little here and there. My mom says I was using the pot before I turned 2. She is really smart. She ate 2 bananas and like a whole box of strawberries today. I think she is just about over her cold. Thank goodness.

Anyway. Happy New Year.
