The First

Resolutions are for the over achievers. We're just trying to be the best we can here.

Every time I have tried to be better on a timeline, it does not work for me. I just get fatter, or sadder or some other -er which just adds to failure. Absolute failure.

Rich-er would be nice, but I don't think you join a Gym for that.

So instead of trying to get skinny or make more money or read a book I will just share what happened today and maybe we can get better tomorrow and take it from there

Today's Firsts of 2025

1. Meltdown. The child has a bit of sensitivity to getting hair combed and nails trimmed. She's always had this and it was time to trim her toenails. Cue the screaming. It took me 3 times at least of idle threats and other useless attempts to get her toes trimmed. We got there, but holy. BW and I will both be happy when she's in control of her beauty. We might never get into the bathroom again when that happens, but we will cross that bridge later.
2. Friends over to play. Even though we've been home for 10 days with the child we didn't have her friends over until today. They came, painted on our walls and ate our food and watched our TV. My child had some entertainment which is great because school starts tomorrow, thank god.
3. Nap. I made breakfast this morning. That was hard work. I needed a nap after.
4. Leftovers. Guess what's for dinner the day after new years? New year's eve leftovers - that's what.
5. Waffles for Breakfast. Obviously I'm not starting any diet on the first day of the year this year.
6. Painting. BW Painted a Flamingo.
7. Christmas Decoration Removal. I thought I had taken them all down and I had not.
8. Writing I am still at it here,which is kind of amazing. Maybe I should take up running after all.

I hope for less meltdowns and more naps this year personally. And maybe, if I am really good lucky I'll find a few more readers this year.

Happy New Year!
