It is the first Monday of the new year, and again, no changes are present. It is still one of those days where you just don't feel like being motivated to return to work (if you do) or start the weekly routine over again. The boys stayed overnight at Sis' house, so I am sure they are sleeping in this morning after a late night playing Playstation, or on the computers. I am to head out there this afternoon to pick the three of them up and come home. It will be another week before they return to school.
Yesterday was a decent day. We went out to Sis' for lunch of ribs, slaw and black-eye peas - a traditional meal for the new year that Reverend Mother has tried to keep going. Seems Grandma Hankins had always told her that it should be a 'Poor Man's Meal' consisting of pork, black-eye peas, and cabbage - as the basics. There was even enough bit of ribs left over that I believe some were sent home with us last night, but I was too full to care. Maybe I will hunt them out of the fridge for lunch today.
It was a bit different for the Wife and I to come home, without any of the kids. The Daughter's beau had joined us for lunch, and they were doing their own thing when we left Sis'. We had joked about since it was just us, that maybe we should 'break in' the couch again. Needless to say, when the Daughter was ready to come home, she called first to warn us. When she got home, I mentioned that she didn't need to call first, but she insisted as she was worried she would walk in and find us lounging (or whatever) around in the nude. I snickered and commented that THAT was not going to happen considering we had no idea when she would be home.
So far so good... or at least, not bad. Maybe this will be another decent year. Heck, according to the Mayans, it is our last one.
