I remember when I was young and single and I would dream of what it would be like to have a husband to ring in the new year with… Well, now that I’m old and married, I do. He’s wonderful, too.

The problem is that we’re lame. Really.

We were supposed to go to a “party” with friends from church last night (I use that word loosely — as if to explain our Baptist get-together. No drinking ever and kids are present. ;)) At any rate, our family in all of our lameness was too sick to go.

We can’t seem to get rid of these nasty colds that keep getting passed around our house. For the past two months, at least two of us have had it at any given moment. Last night, four of us were down for the count.

We’re so pathetic, we put the kids to bed at 11:55 p.m. and watched the time change on TV, kissed each other good night and went to sleep. Maybe next year we’ll actually get to “party,” us and our five children.

At least I got my kiss this year.
