New Year Resolutions 2004

Ma and Pa are going to get out more – even if it’s just for a walk.

Pa is going to stop warning Thing 2 about his temper and start dealing with it.  He is also going to spend substantially less time on the Internet.

Ma is going to get reconnected with her inner self (and maybe then she will stop throwing the kids toys).

Thing 1 is going to learn to stop singing Nintendo jingles in class when others are trying to work.

Thing 2 is going to learn to stop losing his temper and throwing things – especially his fists (I have no idea where he gets that).

Everyone is going to have a Happy New Year (and that’s my last warning)!

Epilogue 2003

So there you have it.  The Chinese calendar had 2003 pegged as the Year of the Goat.  But on my calendar 2003 will go down as the year of the “Chicken.”  Over the past year we have been told to: beware of flying, beware of weapons of mass destruction, beware of beef, beware of breathing, beware of breathing in Toronto, beware of Toronto, beware of mosquitoes, don’t drink the water, avoid exposure to sunlight, get flu shots, beware of hospitals and beware the rising loonie.  Oh, and lets not forget that the Americans think we are chicken, which probably ain’t so bad since chicken and egg stocks over the past year have gone through the ceiling.
