I'm hoping that the present moment does not reflect what the new year will bring...we are a household of sick people...with the exception of Caleb (right now). I have been in and out of bed most of the day with body aches and congestion and coughing and sore throat. Poor Riley has snot dried to his nose and Shawn is in the early stages of complaining and taking Sudafed and insisting that taking double doses of Vitamin C will make him better. So in short, we are not out partying till 2009. We were suppose to have friends over for dinner tonight (sorry Benefields and Bahers) but I woke up with a terrible sore throat and it only got worse as the day progressed. I however, didn't want to give up my plans so I took everything out that was needed for dinner only to have to put it back after I couldn't raise my head to change Riley's diaper. It's so hard to be sick when you're a mom. Caleb must have watched 6 movies today and Riley sat in a pee diaper for longer than he ever should have. Thankfully, Shawn got home around 3:00 and I went to bed for about 2 hrs. Our big New Year's Eve dinner became frozen appetizers from the commissary.....Poppers, mozzeralla sticks, spinach/articoke dip and chips. Ugh...
It's about 11pm on New Year's eve here and I know that we are the first to celebrate the New Year of all the people we know around the world...so happy New Year!!!!! They celebrate the New Year here on base with 15 minutes of ships blowing their horns and flashing their lights. It gets pretty loud, but I think I'm heading to bed before the big show. It's just not the same to watch local Japanese t.v. bring in the new year as it is to watch the ball drop in New York (on t.v.) so I'll wait to celebrate when most of you celebrate...eastern time, I'll be watching the ball drop with you! Besides, I just took a Sudafed PE and it makes me crazy tired.
