New Year’s Resolution

New Year’s Resolution

29th December 2007

I don’t believe in New Year’s Resolutions. But if I did, this is what I would resolve to do in 2008:

Ensure my nanny doesn’t take her vacation after I’m already back from mine. This would guarantee that my valuable Saturday night caloric intake, which is usually spent on a restaurant with at least a quarter of a star, would be better utilized than this:

No, I’m not above “this.”

And would make certain I would avoid this:

My kid didn’t even get ketchup on his clothes.

But seeing him grit a Happy Meal was kinda worth it. I mean, worth the stain on my sweater. Not the absence of having a babysitter.

Just be glad your mom didn’t make any resolutions in 2006.

Happy New Year.

Cute story! McDonald’s and Wendy’s hamburgers are actually one of the only ways my daughter will eat protein, so don’t knock ‘em too much! We get a hamburger once a week since she will actually eat it. I am beginning to think it is the ketchup more than anything that she likes, but whatever. It would totally be worth a ketchup stain, too.

We went to the Mick Dee’s on New year’s eve as well. It’s the new hip place to be.

I swear we were separated at birth.

It is amazing that you wear the ketchup and not the kids… I am still trying to figure out how this always happens
