First Day of "2010"...Yippee!!!!

The first day didnt start out very well...I was sleeping. Wish I could say I had a blast at a club and got drunk, but that wasnt the case. I was working...ugh. I am cursed with being a perfectionist and a hard worker, plus I never know what issues will arise during the end of year at work. So last nights work took approximately 12 hrs. Nothing major, just the usual end of year stuff. I did go outside a couple of minutes before midnight to ring in the New Year. I was not bringing in the New Year sitting at my desk. There were several aerial firework displays in the surrounding neighborhood and some firecrackers. The view of the full moon was awesome and the air was a crisp 25 degrees with a slight breeze. Then I remembered I had to get back to work. Getting home in the wee hours of the morning, my home chores began...take care of the kids, make the coffee, brush the teeth, say the prayers and then finally getting into bed...I was exhausted. At least the kids let me sleep till noon and then it was time to take care of them and their needs. Then I went back to bed and took a nap. It was a long nap...long enough that the sun was setting. I needed to get up and fix something for dinner. The menu consisted of Blackeyed peas, Sauerkraut (dont care for boiling cabbage at home), fried potatoes with onions, and cornbread. It was fantastic. Having dinner and watching some New Year football was great. I think I will end the day with a couple of glasses of sparkling wine and watch a good movie.................**Happy New Year Everyone**
