Firsts of 2009

I washed, dried, folded and put away 7 loads of laundry in one day.

I slept through Sophia painting the TV, kitchen counter, and bathroom floor with sparkly red nail polish.

She also was able to enjoy half of a can of frozen apple juice concentrate during my slumber.

I taught Jennie to say, "Obama" and on her own she uses it in the context of "O-crap". Side note: I wish success upon our New President, and I am proud to be an American.

I nearly developed carpal tunnel from making 240 or so crepes.

I learned that when the Killers ask, "Are we human, or are we dancer?" I'm dancer.

I McGuivered a diaper out of a pair of 3T underwear and a winged maxi-pad from our cars emergency kit in the dentists parking lot.

I ate almost an entire carrot cake, almost all by myself.

I had the 3rd or 4th installment of the SEX talk with Dalton, and the 2nd one with Joseph.

I broke my camera all the way.

I fed my family RAMEN for dinner. Maybe you're in the camp that says, "way to go Sherrie for being the sole food provider for over 10 years without serving the cheap deliciousness even once for dinner." Maybe you're in the camp that says, "shame on any homemaker disgracing her table with that cheap shameful load of MSG." Either way, it was a hit with the kids, and I'll not be ashamed to include $20 whole dollars worth of this pre-packaged dinner in our food storage.

I memorized all the words to "Don't Worry, Be Happy"
