New Years celebrations

New Year's Eve was something special, first I worked and earned lots of money in just one night. Then I came home and my sister and her two friends and my mom were playing life. Then the whole family+2 friends played the DVD game of "Are you Smarter than a Fifth Grader?" It was great and I must say that "I am smarter than a fifth grader." Then I attempted to go to bed, but it was around 2am and I was excited that my cousins were driving down for the Cotton Bowl, so I gave up trying to go to sleep, and went downstairs to wait for them with my dad. Around 3am, they arrived and dad/I showed them were stuff was.

Then I tried to go to sleep many times, but I just could not. I tried taking a natural sleep aid-failed; benedryl-failed, and even tried my sound machine-failed. I think that with all the excitement and drama in my household, my body told me "no sleep for tonight." My allergies were also acting up then too. What a night, so instead of sleeping, I watched "Gridiron Gang" and "While you were Sleeping." Around 6ish, "Saved by the bell" came on, so it was different than a movie. About 7ish, I got up, got cleaned, watched my cousins leave for the Cotton Bowl (MO fans), and then started a day's worth of laundry. Not all my laundry, but I was being nice and doing what needed to be done. I also did my sheets too. Then during laundry time, I went to Starbucks and got a 'triple vente nonfat cafe Latte.' It was great and perked my up some, but did not help all day long.

I was doing good until about 2, then I started to just get tireder and tireder as the afternoon went on. So I tried to lay down a few times, but no nap was insight. So around 4ish, I announced to the whole family that I would be going to bed early tonight (8/9ish), so we needed to start dinner.

Dinner is now being started and the family and friends in my house continue to give me grief about not being asleep last night. I am now a raccoon until my big black circles go away.

So all in all, New Years and Day was great! I loved all the happiness in the house and during the early am hours, I was able to drink coffee and do laundry in peace!!!

Have a great New Years Day and stick to those made resolutions!!!

PS- I will post some December pics soon!!
