Woo hoo, THIS is the year!
Yes... once again, I have set GOALS for myself... THIS is THE YEAR!
This year my goals are simple, yet important to me....
This is the year that i will be able to wear a tank top in the summer, without looking like a Russian Weightlifter.....
THIS is the year I will be ORGANIZED.... I mean REALLY ORGANIZED.....
& this is THE year I will be the best mommy I can be.....
This is MY year to make positive changes in my life for ME......
Today is Jan. 5th & today I sent me 9 year old off to school in below freezing weather (I did have a hat & gloves for him...good start) only to find out
THERE is NO SCHOOL TODAY... (it is teacher in service day....)
After roaming the empty halls of the school, Dane found a teacher who informed him there was NO school.... He said all of the other teachers were kind of sitting there giggling.....
I asked him if there were any other kids who showed up? .... NOPE just him....
The kid with the American mother who doesn't read notes sent home for school.... OOPS... (& you know, they ALL KNOW, WHICH KID WAS SENT TO SCHOOL even though it was closed...) Damn...everyone is bound to find out what a crappy non-note reading mother I am FOR SURE..
So instead of having a day of Wii all to myself to kickstart my new life style for 2009.... I have been home with my poor child, overwhelemd and PICKING at everything in the cabinet....
CRAP.... I didn't even make it 5 days without screwing up..... I am off to clean out kiddo's backback & see if there are any additional notes mommy didn't receive......
Tomorrow is another day to screw up right?
I am thinking POSITIVE......POSITIVE ....POSITIVE.....

Don't get discouraged. You rock as a mom. And nobody's puking, right? Life is good.
I've missed stuff from school too, everyone's doing it so don't worry.
We have in-service day on Wed - so school is back on Thursday. I'm pretty sure about that... I think...
p.s. i want a wii!

Oh I sent my DD in her Brownie uniform and there were no Brownies. She wears a uniform to school so she had to change and borrow clothes.
tomorrow will be better!
On one occasion, my daughter even tried to tell me there was no school!!
From all I have read, you are definitely a good Mum, just human. So don't beat yourself up, ok :-)
On another note. I recently finished reading an interesting book by Norwegian author. I believe it was an English translation and was originally in Norwegian. The book was Out Stealing Horses.
Hubby had to run after one of the other dad's who drove off leaving his kid behind. Fortunately he saw hubby in the rearview mirror and stopped.
Ahhhhh everything is back to normal.....
On a side note, love the blog. Can you tell me whether birth control is covered under the national health system in Norway, or you can purchase over the counter? Just wondering if I should stock up before going...
You are one tough chic to have shared that with us!! LOL
Happy New Year!!
and I SO know what you mean about the Wii....my daughters have hogged it all week!
My neighbor had to take my first grader in a few times when they had half days and I was out doing something frivolous like grocery shopping. What's with the stupid half days?

All your goals seemed like they were made to be mine!
But fun to laugh about later...much later.
We have some of the same resolutions this year!!! :)
