I have honestly never understood the excitement and hype built up around the bringing in of the new year and have found that having children has given me a lovely excuse to avoid it all. I'd like to admit here that I even find fireworks kind of obnoxious... But you have to live in Asian (Buddhist and whatever else religions) countries to appreciate that. Fireworks, or perhaps I should say, firecrackers, are thoroughly obnoxious... and go off at all the wrong times, like just when you've put the baby down for a nap. Here's who I was with this new years eve/day:
My poor sick baby...... Ear infection, chest infection, snotty nose. Wanting to snuggle and nurse right before midnight. And back down in the cot just as the fireworks started shooting off 101. And they still are..... banging and clanging, which of course has set the dogs off barking..... This year because of my children I actually saw this new years in this time round! And so a happy new year to you all.
And a Happy New Year to you! Poor Evie, I pray she gets better soon.
