HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

We spent another quiet New Year’s Eve at home.  I think the last time we went out was about 4 years ago when Hugh was still in a band and they had a gig that night.  I have no desire to go out anymore though.  I had too much fun at home cooking with the kids and lighting sparklers in the yard.  Sarah fell asleep around 10:30 which is about two hours later than she usually goes down.  I’m pretty sure Hannah and Jess kept her up because of how excited they were.

At midnight we had our “sparkling grape juice toast”.  I tried to chill out and drink a few margaritas earlier in the evening, but I have truly lost my taste for alcohol.  One drink is just plenty for me and I really don’t want anymore than that.  I just think about how I have to be able to wake up and be alert if Sarah gets up during the night.  It’s tough with her sometimes because if she cries for even five minutes, she starts to choke.  I guess she just gets so stuffy because of how her nose is, that it makes her gag.  So I always try to be on top of things all the time.

I have to make a few calls tomorrow to get her physical therapy going.  I hope it helps her.  I’m not sure what type of exercises they will have us do but I’m really interested to find out.
