today was a good day. i made my first 2011 costco run and besides the loads and loads of food to feed teenage boys, i bought a new garbage can. i am surprised the satisfaction i felt the rest of the day because of this garbage can. it's shiny, has a lid and i can open it with my foot. i love it. it's amazing what little things can make you happy.
i took a big dive into the post-christmas clean-up. it's so overwhelming. i am so lucky to have great kids. caroline surprised me after school by totally undecorating the tree (a huge job) and jake put all the wreaths and garlands and lanterns back up into the attic over the garage. he did come in and ask me if it was ok to step on the ceiling, at which point i knew that his leg had put a big hole in the garage ceiling, but i didn't care. it's only the garage and i was so happy to have everything put away.
sam had friends over tonight. i thought that when evan and thomas and all their friends left on their missions i would have a little break before sam and jake's friends took over, but it looks like no break for me. jake and his friends passed through for (weird) clothes to wear to the stomp. i'm glad they aren't dancing with me.
