We had our very first accident of the year this morning.  Elliott took a tumble and scuffed up his elbow.  This means that we are at 0 day without incident..

I was sorta griping about how the boys were not getting along.  Low and behold, they found a time and place to coexist together, peacefully.  I'm so excited to see this and I suspect that as more time passes between Gavin last visit, things will continue to improve. 

I thought it would be interesting to share some of our New Year's Resolutions for 2013. I used to try to do something really grand or profound.  However, I discovered that I would better off being realistic.  I try to underpromise and overdeliver.  So what's you New Year's Resolution for this year?

I was hoping that my boys would come up with a New Year's resolution.  I was also hoping that New Year's resolution would be to not fight with each other. Imagine my dismay when I wake up to Elliott and Emmett screaming at each other once again.  Didn't they get the memo? It's a new year and a fresh start.  I've tried to explain to them that at the beginning of each new year, we look back on all the good things we did and try to continue doing those things.  At the same time, we should look back on the things that didn't go so good and learn from those mistakes.  That was probably wishful thinking on my part.  I think these guys were only meant to get along…

I wanted to share this moment with you all.  First of all, it's no secret that I'm having kind of a rough time with life right now.  New Year's Eve was a really bad day for me. Having said that, I was rescued at the end of the day by my sweet, perfect and amazing little Emmett John.  He was having a rough as well and when we got home from my parents house, he was just screaming.  He was so exhausted and overwhelmed that his little body was just purging.  He came over to me while I was sitting on the couch, with tears in his eyes and climbed into my lap.  I put Google Music up on the TV and played Eric Clapton's Tears in Heaven. It was…

First of all,  Happy New Year.  I had planned on a really profound post but ended up deciding to keep it simple.  I hope that each and every one of you have a safe and happy new year.  I want this year to bring with it positive things to your life.  Thank you all for helping make this the most successful year at Lost and Tired yet.... Thank you for all the connections, friendship, advice and listening ears.  I truly, truly appreciate each and every one of you.  I wish you all the best...... This was my Christmas present from Lizze's parents.  My three boys, all together for the first time, in a picture.  :-)
