rockin' the house

A new year has begun!  Yay for 2010!  This is my year to make some changes....be better to those I love....be less hard on myself and finally get with the times and become a little, no ALOT more tech savvy! 

Yes, I will admit....here goes....that I have never downloaded a song - not one!  I can't figure out how to transfer my videos to my pc and some days, I completely give up trying to get from cable to playing a dvd.  Hell, sometimes (such as tonight), I can't even get our somewhat new tv to just turn on properly!

So, instead of asking hubby or my brother...or yes, Nicholas, to help, it's time to get with it!!  Ya, ya...I know...minor stuff....but still, it needs to happen.  It will happen.

The other stuff, I will write about later.

So, remember all that sickness we were ALL going through?  Johnathon has now picked up some viral chest infection which knocked him out for a few days....he even took two days off of work!  That very rarely happens but he needed it and I think now after a visit to the doctor and some meds and rest, he is now on the mend!  Phew!  Last night, we actually made it through the night in our bed together.  For two nights prior, his coughing, hacking yuckiness was that bad that we took a turn sleeping in Syds room.  That very rarely...okay never happens but it was unavoidable if I had a chance of being sane..oh, I mean awake in the morning.

Nicholas started school up again, with no desire to do so.  But like always, once he gets there, all is well.  And this week has started with him bringing home an assigned book and he reads to us! 

Shane is really coming along with his words and his sentences.  But if we can't immediately figure out that sentence or word, well...it gets a little ugly!  The boy has some lungs and he likes to use them...and he will until you 'get it'. 

Our darling, sweet wonderful boys though are really doing well.  The laughs and love they give every day is beyond words.  And although Nicholas will say that he doesn't play with his brother....he has been....and it's simply wonderful.  Shane just loves chasing his big brother around and they zoom around the house with their dumptrucks - together. 

And before I head to bed, a cute little story about something Nicholas said to me.  I need to tell more of these. So, before bedtime, he was having some DS time.  I went and snuggled next to him to WATCH (yes, no idea how to play this thing that my five year old does so well on) and he told me how much he likes the music on his game, alot of the games.  I was like, oh that is rockin'!  And he said to me - Rockin'?  Uh, No Mommy, it is not rockin' the house!  And then told me that I rock the house sometimes.  Anyhow, it was really quite funny how it went down - didn't sound so much there, did it?? 

Oh well, better luck next time!
