new year's

one of my resolutions was to be a better blogger, in hopes that my children will use my blogs for memories, when my feeble mind can no longer remember anything that goes on...
ross went to El Segundo to see his mom for the new year...I like to stay home and clean and get things done that I can't seem to get done when he is here...
Sam, the princess and I went to Carl's Jr. early for breakfast and then we came home and I mostly cleaned...had a headache all day from forcing mycelf to go back to sleep this morning...
for a huge surprise Sam made us dinner tonight: ham, mashed potatoes, green beans and rolls...it was very good made even better that I did not have to cook...
then Tim, Sam, the princess and I played the new monopoly game (did you know that they don't have paper money anymore? everything is dealt with on little atm cards) it is pretty cool...we left the game up as played...
then, the next night we played once again...so far the princess is winning...at first we could not get her to buy any properties, and now she has the most properties and also the biggest bank account and she is ruthless too...
Monday morning I got up and felt pretty good, Ross is still gone so I took pretty pretty princess to get her hair cut and then for a little shopping...she got 2 inches cut from her hair and it looks cute, she likes it that is all that matters, right???
for dinner tonight? made breakfast, cinnamon rolls, sausage and this potato egg bake that I found here: http://www.ourbestbites.com/2011/05/easy-potato-and-bacon-breakfast-casserole/

I have made this before and changed it a little tonight and still would make another change once more but overall dinner was a hit for everyone...Sam and princess also came for dinner and we watched the Rose parade while eating dinner...
helped Zoe do her AR, take a shower, wash her hair and put new conditioner in and then got her clothes out for tomorrow...(Crazy 8 of course, love that store...)
she goes back to school tomorrow tho Sian still has another week off...
