Its a new year and time for new resolutions! Every year I list my year's resolutions on a small piece of paper and I keep it in my purse. Believe it or not...I tend to look at it more this way.

I found a Hot Wheels car at the bottom of my toilet, a pacifier in the fish tank, the frosting licked off of 3 cupcakes that were sitting on the kitchen counter and dinosaur stickers plastered all over the face of the oven door. None of these items were in any of those places prior to my getting in the shower this morning. Granted, my shower may have gone 5minutes longer than the usual 4minutes total time; but seriously? Since the eldest punk was still peacefully sleeping, my keen senses of process of elimination lead me to blame the youngest punk. I left him lying peacefully on my big bed watching The Dinosaur Train, trusting that he would stay put in that same ...
