I decided to take it easy and relax again lastnight. I know that I should have been getting some things done, but I just could not motivate myself to do anything. So instead, I chose to sit on my butt in front of the tv most of the night. Instead of stressing about all of the things I need to get done before we leave Saturday morning, I’m choosing to just ignore it. That means that I’ll be freaking out about this time on Thursday when I realize just how little time I have left.
About the only thing I’ve been thinking of in preparation for our trip is what music I need to have loaded up on my mp3 player to get me through the week. Obviously, this is the most important thing. Who needs clothes when you can listen to music? Of course I’ll have my trusty Pearl Jam, KT Tunstall, and some Jack Johnson, but I’m not sure what else. What music gets you in the mood for sun, sand, and Hawaiian beaches?

January 8-12 is De-Lurking Week. You know what that means, right? That means that when you read a blog you must leave a comment. I know it’s hard to always leave a comment because I’m probably one of the worst lurkers out there, but I’m going to try to leave at least one comment on every blog I read this week. I know there are some of you out there reading that don’t comment so why not go ahead and de-lurk today? And, while you’re at it, go over to 
Probably the biggest thing that happened in the last month was that I went out of town and left you alone with Daddy for four days. I knew that Daddy could handle you while I was gone, but I had a hard time being away from you for that long. One night away is bad enough, but I had to go to bed three nights in a row without any kisses or hugs from my little man. The worst part of it was that I ended up being sick the whole time so I couldn’t even drown my sorrows in a margarita (not that you should ever do that). I did have a great time on my trip but I don’t think I have ever been more happy to be home.
Celebrating Christmas was really fun with you this year. We spent Christmas morning at home, but also spent some time at both Grandpa and Grandma’s houses. You must have been a very good little boy this past year because you ended up with tons of new toys. You seemed to enjoy ripping the paper off to find out what was inside, but after a while you got bored and Mommy had to help you a little bit. Everyone must have known how much you love Elmo because he now has a very prominant presence in our home.
You continue to amaze me daily by your amazing sense of balance, the many words you can say, and your ability to actually understand what I am saying to you. You seem to be quite an intelligent little boy (I guess you do take after your mom!). You still love to climb and tend to freak people out that aren’t used to watching you climb on things. While I do have to rescue you from time to time when you get too high, I usually leave you alone and let you explore. Your favorite place lately to climb is onto the kitchen table which isn’t really such a good thing.
tired of fishing little colored pieces out of your clenched teeth. Either I’m getting better at stopping you before you get them to your mouth or you are doing better at using them for their intended purpose because most of your current crayons still have tips on them.
I usually end this with something mushy, to tell you just how much I love you. But all I can think of right now, is that I must be one of the luckiest mom’s in the world to have a son like you. Not a single day goes by that I’m not thankful that you are part of my life.
