In Review.......

Well.. this isn't going to be a year in review type of things, but i will catch up from the last post to current..

• The birthday was alright
• The kids had a blast on Halloween and the princess and her friend had the cutest superhero costumes. They were batman and superman, wearing tights with underoos over them (yes, little boys underwear), insignia t-shirts with tight, long-sleeve shirts underneath, and capes. It truly was one of the best girl superhero costumes ever. The boy was Bart Simpson and they both that a great time at their respective trick or treating/parties.
  
• The boy got his cast off and all is well with the hand
• The boy is failing school and generally has his head up his ass. His solution is to go live w/his dad, rather than change his attitude or fix his shit. I am at my wits end with his crap. His dad is only marginally helping the issue.
  
• Thanksgiving was totally uneventful and we had tasty food with nothing exploding or burning.
• One of my best friends in the world is moving back to AZ. I will miss him greatly. I concede his reasons for doing it, but not sure it is the best. However, he hates CO, and getting out of here is something that I respect if you just don't like it.
• A former friend (she's been blogged about before on here) and her husband are divorcing. She has also moved back to AZ. He has moved to Seattle.
  
• The puppy is potty trained FINALLY!!!!!
• The Princess is getting her driver's permit tomorrow.
• I am committed to hopefully upgrading the crap status of my house. Decorating, trashing shit, etc. I just need MONEY
• The downstairs bathroom is 2 days away from being finished. I just need to find those 2 days.
• Spent 2 weeks at the in-laws. God i love them, they are the nicest people, but holy shit, i die with the slow pace of small town. Its great to relax, but sometimes, being rushed is a good thing.
  
• Took a longer route home to meet some friends for the first time in KC. The visit was awesome and i wish we lived closer. The honey and I have been playing our online game with them for close to 3 years now and we stopped in for a visit. The dogs, kids and us had a great time with them. It was just an overnight visit, and in the end, that was just too short.
• The honey got a 22in widescreen flat panel monitor for his b-day.
• New Years Eve/Honey's B-day was uneventful. We had just gotten home from vacation the night before and were exhausted.
  
• I still have major panic/anxiety attacks when driving/riding in ice/snow/shit weather. On our return trip, the last 150 miles were chock full of 40-50mph blowing snow, white out conditions, icy icy roads, hyperventilation, uncontrollable shaking, and crying. Honey was a saint through it all, trying to keep the truck on the road and not stuffing a sock in my mouth and tying me up (or knocking me out).
• I have been playing my online game a lot. I have found a new side of it that makes it like a new game altogether. The downside to this is that I get guilt trips from people who i don't play with much anymore. The upside is that it has renewed my interest in the game, and i'm having fun again.
• I am still having trouble with my neck and knee from the accident. Holiday shopping did nothing to help and i found that shopping is no longer as pleasurable as it once was. Traveling was horrid for my neck and i am still recovering.

I hope that things improve healthwise for me and attitude-wise for the Boy. The Honey is great and we both need to watch what we eat. For me to lose weight and him to lower his blood pressure. The Princess needs to keep up her good grades and positive attitude and the boy needs to take a less from his sister.

All is well. Happy New Year to all!
