I just read this quote over at Oh The Joys and of course, it got me thinking.
Because Jessica is always interesting and always makes me laugh and often makes me think -
Is this a true maxim?
Should I be worried? After all, it's well documented that '08 is hating on me... is this indicative of the next 12 months?!
It bears looking into.
So, let's breakdown New Year's Eve '07 in the House of Fun & Games, shall we?
Have a little gander at the year ahead...
9 a.m. to 5 p.m., was feeble on the couch. Moaning and whining and feeling generally miserable.
Uh-oh! Today, Hugh is whining and feeling miserable!
6:30 p.m. started to get dressed for dinner party
I got dressed today as well. Hmmm... that's 2 for 2!
7:30 p.m. called hostess and punked out
Punking out... not totally unheard of around these parts.
7:35 p.m. changed back into jammies.
Jammies which I am wearing right now!
7:45 p.m. back to the couch
Yes, yes, I'm on the couch as well...
8:00 p.m. older children begged to be allowed to still go to party.
Children pleading to leave home and hang with others? It's pretty much a given.
8:10 p.m. kissed said children goodbye and watched them head out to party.
A sign of things to come?
8:15 put youngest child to bed with favorite "See you next year!" joke

Still corny.
8:30-10:30 p.m. watched more TV... apparently have committed rule violation 11 out of 25 Worst Decorating Mistakes - benches at the dining room table. We are very embarrassed. We are replacing the entire set this week. Or maybe not. Probably, we're just going to be rule breakers.
January the 4th and we are still tacky.
10:30 p.m. children come home.
Children. Came. Home. Always a good thing.
10:45 p.m. kiss second child goodnight and move to bedroom and tune into Twilight Zone Marathon...
Am now worried about possibly being kidnapped by parental aliens as toy for giant alien daughter.
11:59:40 p.m. tune into Dick Clark's Rocking New Year's Eve and call for husband and remaining awake child for last 20 seconds of countdown.
Can still count backwards!
MIDNIGHT kiss husband and remaining awake child.
Kissing is always good.

Remaining awake child is sent off to bed.
The rest of this evening is censored.
Which also bodes well for the New Year.
