Comments on: New Year’s Rotten Eve http://mothergoosemouse.com/2007/12/31/new-years-rotten-eve/ A first-grader destined for a career as a lawyer, a pre-schooler whose screams can shatter glass, a bouncing baby boy who evaded an IUD, a man who can drink his weight in Natty Light, and a woman who has long since given up caring about the condition of her kitchen floor.

And seeing as we have had a pukefest for 2 years running now, I don't see that changing any time soon. NYE is my least favorite holiday.

Gluttony. I'm no angel, but I think the magic is found in the everyday, not in the seven or eight pre-designated special days. Here's hoping that your joy multiplies as your family grows this year. Happy new year. I find that when holidays are used to drink or eat in excess, well, it’s just that, excess. Gluttony.

I thought the kids were going to come through the ceiling at one point, it sounded like a herd of elephants. Mercifully, everyone but the kidless folks left by 10 PM and even the kidless ones were gone by 11:30, so I was able to clean everything up and still watch the countdown. Color me pathetic. Next year I'm voting for the islands. You could be like us – crazy enough to invite our friends and their kazillion kids over.

Won't be this year either, cheers!

It's the only way to go IMHO. Jeff made two kinds of jello shots: blueberry martini and prosecco! Oh and some virgin ones for the small fry too. We’re going to a kids-included party too.

But tonight we're going over to a friend's house with a few other couples, all of us have kids the same age. We'll let the kids stay up until, say, 8:30pm before we take them home and put them to bed. Which means I'll be in bed by 10. Sounds perfect to me! I prefer staying home on New Year’s.
