The final few minutes are ticking away and my kids are ornery, tired, and yelling at each other as they struggle to stay awake until to midnight. They're also Wii-ing and coming within fractions of inches of nailing each other and the TV with the controls. Ah, sibling rivalry.
There are plenty of things that I could blog about to fill this last post of the year. For instance, I could be thankful that my upstairs toilet flooded a few years ago. Why? Because my dad was able to help me fix it, and today I was able to fix the downstairs one by myself. And I didn't even learn any new plumbing words! Or use some of the ones I learned last time. Heh-heh.
I could be thankful for ward clerks who save me hours of time because they know how to do their job.
I could be thankful that I didn't slide off the road like those dozens of other cool 4x4 off-roading idiots.
I could be thankful for a new niece.
I could be thankful that this New Year's mayhem only comes once a year.
Without a doubt I could be thankful that this is the last of my penance posts.
However, what I am most thankful for right now is the fact that for the past thirty-one days, I have done a little writing for me. It's just a start, and IO hope it will grow. Even though I'm not going to post every night for the whole world to see--okay, the three of you who waste your time on this site--I'm going to keep writing. I'll probably revisit the goals I've set, especially for writing. I know I need to make the time. All my writer friends say so, so I guess it must be true. (Just like the Internet!)
I'm also thankful for Amy and her support as I pursue my degree, as I "fix" toilets, and As I write and do all of those other geeky things I do. She definitely wins "Mama of the Year" in my book.
So, yeah. I guess this is it...or is it? (I hate that ending, especially when students use it in their fiction.)
