Christmas 2008 is over and all is well in the Grill home. Christmas tree taken down and presents finally all put away. We have had a busy new year though.. New Years was quite on the quiet side of things. Which now and then isn't so bad.
Our family has had a few changes, Brooke has asked to change schools which I understand we all need change once in a while. So, as she wished I wisked her out of the dreery old elementary and into the famously (round here) brand stinkin new one with a new teacher and friends and all. I feel like such a hero to my child. Today actually was her first day and can you believe it? I got my child into trouble on her very first day. I texted her at school!! I am hearing the sounds of the bad guys in the old western shows..dun dun dun... God forbid this, that children actually have a life outside of the prison of our public schools. And their parents of all actually contacting them so cheer them on inside of the punishment of learning. Ow well, I will take the heat.. They can string me up and even try to light me on fire.. Little do they know as my husband says, I am "Cold as ICE".. Ha ha joke is on them...
As for Marrisa,... She has caught the eye of a young man at school.He walks her to class and holds her books with one hand and holding on to my babys hand with the other. I picked her up at school the other day and as we were driving by, he actually blew her a kiss. So, I blew a fist at him. Yep, hopin I scare the young lad.. Mean momma, I know but I don't want her grow up!! Understandably I cannot make that stop, but I will try to make her relize that boys are just well they are just...TROUBLE!!!!... Marrisa is trying to grow up to fast.. Don't sound like anyone I knew at her age.. ;)
Sterlin, well the mechanic handy man of the year is still the same.. Fixing up the ol Jeep to go to Moab with his parents for Easter.. I am glad he has ambitions if not, he would probably drive me crazy..
As for myself, this year is the year I finally quit procrastinating (done it so long probably misspelled it).. I have joined the local gym and have taken a vow, a vow that is the hardest in the world for me to quit smoking and get healthy.. So, this year is year of blogs of my desperation for food and nicotine.. So, if you know me on a personal note, please try not talking to me about it.. That is the hardest of all.. People saying ow, smoking its so bad for you and smoking is bad for what ails ya. Ya, I freakin know this, I do have a television in my home and I do work for a hospital.. Seriously, don't tell smokers what they are doing isn't good for them, for hell sakes it says so on the package... Ok done venting over smoking irritations.. I am not doing the take them and throw them away, nope one less a day until I am down to none. I feel like that is my only hope.. The only hope to loose the friend I have had for to many years that has done nothing but make feel like crap... c-ya bye to the ol friend that wasn't much of a friend at all... I am looking forward to a new me and a new sense of independance from the bad in my life...
