Goodbye and Good Riddance 2013

I have never met a year that could not end fast enough. This year was truly awful. We've had family deaths, pet deaths, ghastly illnesses (both ours and close friends), and incredible expenses. I don't think I've ever had a year with so much bad juju. I cannot wait to say goodbye to 2013.

This means a lot coming from me, I'm always reminding my girls to never wish their days away, but I seriously cannot wait for the symbolism of washing off the old and welcoming the fresh promise of a new year full of positive potential. 

Last year I had a lot of entertaining activities. The girls have been asking me about the balloons to pop every half hour. Not this year, 2013 made sure of that. I was going to go to the store after Howler's speech appointment to pick up some poppers and knick knacks, but the car wouldn't start this morning.... Yes, seriously. Thank you 2013 for tripping me up one more time.

Tonight I plan on keeping it laid back. Make some pipe cleaner firework rings and have the girls fill out this new year resolution sheet. Probably pop some popcorn and watch Disney movies till midnight. That's it. Nothing spectacular or amazing just chillin' with my monkeys.

Best of luck to you in the New Year! Hope it's better than the last!
