Everyone is walking around in circles at our house, it’s a small house so we keep bumping into each other. The New Year’s start-of-something-new magic has not yet hit. No one knows exactly where to start.

Except Lucy of course, because she never really stopped. A dear friend told her she was a rock star at the New Year’s Eve party,  she’s been proclaiming it ever since. “RockSTAR!” she says on repeat. Never have truer words been spoken. The kid’s dream schedule is party till 1 am and sleep until 11:00pm. I’m almost embarrassed to say she’s been living her dream all holiday break.

Jack suggested I clean the dishes for his upcoming birthday. The laundry has overtaken the hall. Jorge conducted a big family meeting to brainstorm on how we can work this problem of slothdom out. The kids suggested everyone pick up 3 things and take it to their room. I chimed in it might just work if there were like 100 people in our family. So…we upped the number a bit and made some plans. maybe even resolutions.

Shortly after the meeting, Jorge went to the office to surf, Josiah and Jack went to play legos and I retreated to my bed to read Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert. Let’s just say the resolutions start tomorrow….
