Ready for the New year.
I do realize it's been a while since I've posted anything on RaisingReagan.com. I apologize. It's not because life ceased to exist for us...quite the contrary, it's been the opposite. We've played merry-go-round with our friend Intestinal Virus. We've been to Aunt Marilyn's wedding in Vegas, where I wasn't the one this time to vomit at a casino...it was our 4 year old (and also not from drinking too much, thank you.), and we just returned from the land of ice and snow for the holidays (St. Joseph, MO).
So here we are now. Ready for the new year, resolutions are in place, and the hangover is dissapating....which leads to resolution #1. We're not 'drinking' for the entire month of January. Sure, most resolutions are intended for the entire year, but let's not be ridiculous. We love our wine, and it goes hand in hand with the concept of ME raising REAGAN. Anyway. There's also the resolutions of doing better with my voiceover business, being a better father and husband, and I resolve to go back to drinking immediately in February.
One thing that will certainly help with not drinking in January is The Girl going back to school. Yesterday was Monday. We had a nice, restful weekend so that we could all get up on time, and be rearing to go! It was a little difficult for Reagan to wake up after being able to sleep in for what seemed like six months, but she did. I got her up, dressed, fed and out the door ON TIME!
VICTORY!
We got to school on time as well...only to realize that everyone else must be late! Or, as it turned out, we were REALLY early for school when they come back from holiday break on TUESDAY.
No school.
So we ramble on back home, trying to explain to the 4 year old why in the hell I woke her up at 6:30 and threatened her if she didn't eat her instant oatmeal for no reason.
But I quickly realized that this was my chance to maybe start working on that other resolution...being a better father. So the books came out, errands were ran with her assistance and I had a sous chef in the kitchen...and this time it wasn't wine.

I did the same thing on Monday. Patrick was way bent that I got him out of bed and to school only to find out he didn't have school.
