Happy 2006!

Well, another crazy year is behind us, and another crazy year is before us. What does 2006 hold in store for each of us? Will I finally get around to starting a photography business? Will BratDad find the career of his dreams? Will the BratGirls stop fighting? Will BabyBrat ever eat? What resolutions can I make, that I won't break next week? So many unknowns.... Yet, I find myself hopeful. Excited. Full of anticipation. I feel like it's Christmas eve, I'm 6, and I can't wait to open my gifts in the morning. Will I get that new Breyer Horse I wanted? Or a new bike? Remember that feeling? It's a love-hate thing: you love the excitement, but hate the waiting. You love the unwrapping, the revealing, but hate cleaning up afterward. Life is kind of like that, don't you think?

At any rate, enjoy these next 52 weeks. Enjoy them, day-by-glorious-day. All 363 of them (it IS January 2nd, you know!) Learn from the bad days; bask in the beauty of the good ones. Be better. Be kinder. Be more expressive. Be more loving. These are MY resolutions. Will I mess up occassionally? Yes. But I'll pick myself up off the floor, dust the cat hair off my pants, and move on.

Until next time...

Welcome!

Hello, hello! (Hola!) Oh, wait.... This isn't a U2 song (not that there's anything wrong with that!) Anyway....
As a full-time-mom, it looks like I may have found my new "vocal" outlet. Maybe, just maybe, if I ramble enough here, I'll leave the poor clerk at the grocery store alone, and save my silly story for you to read here! Orrrrrrr, maybe not....!
At any rate , this is my first blog, and since I did this spontaneously, with no plan whatsoever, you'll just have to bear with my nonsensical babbling (you should be used to that by now!). I'm seriously sleep-deprived, and don't know when I'll catch up. In the mean time, I'll work on getting photos uploaded, and maybe even a slide show! Oooooohhhhh.... I'm slowly coming out of the dark ages!
Well, I'm going to bed now. Kids still have school this week, so I can't stay up forever! G'night!
