Off to a good start.......
This is been one of the best New Year's Days we've had in a long time. Eddie started the day in a bit of a snit because I chided him to keep his gruel off of his white turtleneck so he would look good when it was time for Mass. Then we had to endure the prolonged pout and protestations that, "no one else is going to Church today." Actually, the Church was quite full of 'no one elses.' I had my own pouting bout, because Edward didn't share my enthusiasm for Mass attendance and I had to remind myself that it took me quite a few years to reach this point. Toyed for a few minutes with changing the blog name to "Diminished Expectations." This was brought about more by the vase of wilted roses on the dining room table ( and nobody got the joke when I inquired as to the whereabouts of the decaying wedding cake) than by my disappointment that the boys aren't more like "Rod and Todd." Now that I am past the pique, I shall remain oblique.......
