A New Year's Resolution

I need a new year's resolution, but I don't want the same ones that always fail - be a better housekeeper, lose weight, blah blah blah... I can't think of anything. Maybe I'm just happy with the way things are and don't really want to change anything. I don't know. I think the resolutions are kind of depressing. Maybe there's just so many things that I need to change that it's hard to just pick one, I don't know.. I don't want to think about it... It used to be important to me, but not so much anymore - I guess cause you see how well all the others stick - haha.

I went to church for a while on New Year's night - but didn't last long cause Shelby fell asleep about 9, and Hayden was tired, so therefore, was crabby also... Dewayne didn't get to come with us cause I took Sarah to the doc that day, and she did have croup. I think she's doing much better now, but I'm sick now, probably cause of cleaning for 2 wks straight. I guess it kicked up all the dust and I've got a horrible sinus infection or something.

We took Zach to Chuy's for his 15th birthday. The service was horrible as usual, but the food is good. I'm just glad that's D's favorite restaurant and not mine. My wonderful hubby is taking care of me while I'm sick, he's making homemade enchiladas - I really wanted soup, but I'll take whatever I can get...

It's back to school for Hayden and Shelby on Monday. Mom and Dad are going to Wyoming, and Sarah is staying with Melony.

I've been working with her on her potty training while I've been home with her. She just has no interest whatsoever in going to the potty... I don't understand. Shelby was so easy, she hated to be wet or dirty, and she was so easy, and trained by the time she was about 18 mon. old from what I remember. Hayden was the one that took so long, but I figured it was just cause he's a boy and didn't care if he was dirty or not, he was too busy, and didn't have time to potty train. I can't find anything that motivates Sarah. We sing, we read, we've tried pull ups, and even regular panties cause that worked for Shelby - once she put the real ones on, she never wanted to go back... I even reluctantly tried to do the candy thing, where if they go then they get one piece of candy from a jar you keep on the back of the toilet - that worked one time, and now nothing. We even have one of the expensive toilets that makes realistic noises and stuff. She sits there, and we read or sing, and nothing. She even tells me she needs to go potty, so off we go, to sit on the toilet for 30 min while she sings "Tinkle tinkle wee wee star" - that's how she sings the song, but only cause she can't say twinkle or little. but it's cute at any rate.
