It’s New Years Eve and being that we have a one month old baby, we really did not have any plans for the evening besides watching a movie and getting to sleep early. In fact, we are so lame that the nice bottle of champagne that I have in the cupboard isn’t even chilled because pumping so that I can actually have a glass of champagne is just too much freakin work. In other words, I won’t be drinking tonight.

I’m not bitching or anything, I am actually just fine with a low key evening; I mean after all, I am a mother of three now.

So according to the plan, I should be well into a movie and close to hitting the hay so I will be well rested to greet the New Year tomorrow, but that is not what I am doing. Instead I am writing this blog with one pruney hand while breast feeding after just having recovered from a neuroses induced cleaning frenzy which included polishing my sink and scrubbing the kitchen cupboards.

Why was I doing this you ask? Well it’s simple: My router cacked out which meant I had no WiFi, which meant I have been using the 3G on my iPhone tons, which left me wondering what my data usage was for the month, which led to me checking my account online, which led to me viewing my e-bill, which was unusually high, which revealed after much investigation that I am getting overcharged for my plan, which really pissed me off and led to me trying to call Telus and what do you know… Telus is closed for New Years Eve because even the Telus employees are out celebrating while I am sitting at home stewing over a bill and my inability to deal with said bill on New Years Eve!!!

Did you catch all that?

So I did what any annoyed and slightly neurotic person would do when they are frustrated and they have no one to take it out on… I cleaned.

I cleaned to avoid turning into mega bitch from hell that takes it out on her unsuspecting husband and I have to say, I feel better for it. And so I close out this Year the same as I did the last: a little crazy, a lot neurotic, entirely flawed and very happy and grateful for everything I have.

Happy New Year! I hope your sink stays shiny, your cupboards clean and your neuroses under control.

PS -  I am on the Real Parenting show on C-Fax 1070 tomorrow (Jan 1st) from 10am-11am so tune in. We can cringe at how annoying my voice sounds together Oh and I will be writing a blog about the radio show so check back tomorrow.
