My stats for 2021

@Daddyevil the baby and house work keeps me very busy. I’m doing well through. The baby usually sleeps through the night so I feel pretty rested. Last night she was up at 12:30 then I couldn’t fall back asleep until 2:30 and she’s been back up since 6:30 so I’m a bit tired this morning. The kids will be up in a few minutes to get ready for school. It’s the first day back after Christmas break. A few days before break the school did virtual learning as the Covid count is so high. I was planning to go shopping today but since I don’t feel very rested I’m skipping it. I don’t like driving far if I’m very tired.

@shaggin Oh, good! I'm glad you get to sleep through the night, usually. (Pretty slept through the nights when she was newborn, too, since I was taking care of her and my wife for several months. My two step-daughters would help me with Pretty when I asked but not with their mom.) Everybody, even babies, have bad nights. If you lived closer, I'd babysit for you whenever you needed me to. Pretty is 33, but I still remember how to change a dirty diaper and feed a tiny baby. (And no, Pretty says if I uhm... "acquire"... a baby before it's potty-trained, she's not helping. But I'd bet she'd be more than happy to play with your baby as much as I'd let her. (You'd probably get a very spoiled little girl back after we had her for a few days. ) Honestly, I'd be checking into homeschooling, if it was me. Omicron is sweeping through the US like wildfire and I worry about all the kids that are back in face-to-face classes again.

@DaddyEvil my husband would never let me keep the kids home. When it was optional to go or stay home I gave the kids the option and they all chose to go. They had to do mandatory virtual learning before and it was a really crappy education they got. Via zoom it was hard to see and hear what was being taught, teachers were just telling them to watch videos instead of teaching them etc there were a lot of issues! My husband said omnicron is basically just a light cold. I saw symptoms listed that were like that sneezing etc. We all had symptoms like that right around Christmas and I assumed just a cold so we didn’t get tested. They said before that sneezing was not a sign of Covid but maybe the newer strains it is a sign. So hard to keep up with. I use cloth diapers for the most part. Did you use disposable or cloth on pretty? My husband changed one diaper for me so far. The baby just turned 5 months.

@mildredtabitha I don’t know why I like to keep statistics like this. I am going to start doing a monthly post like this now instead of just one a year.

@mildredtabitha I keep a list on my phone and edit it as I go along. I’ve made 12 new recipes so far this month if I remember correctly.

@shaggin yes you can do monthly ones. That way, I will learn to do mine too just by reading yours

@Tina30219 aww that stinks you lost count . Do you write them down?

@Tina30219 aww man I’d be so upset. I’ve kept track for 5+ years now. I wish I did since I was a teen though.

@shaggin I did up to so far then while camping lost count

@marlina yeah I haven’t had much time since she was born

@marlina yeah not bad at all especially with having such morning sickness for months and then a newborn. This year my numbers for everything will be higher except maybe myLot posts.

@shaggin I guess you won't have so much time to be here on MyLot.

@LadyDuck thank you

@LadyDuck I would have done a lot more if I hadn’t been so laid up with the pregnancy and then the c-section and taking care of the baby. Usually for dinner most nights now my husband holds the baby while I cook.

@shaggin You had a very busy year. Your baby is beautiful.

Oh the mugs you got sound so nice! I have so many mugs and seems I always wind up with new ones and getting rid of older ones.

@MarshaMusselman they are wonderful! I hope they last forever!

@GardenGerty my sister has taken many things I’ve given away lately. I wonder if it’s driving her boyfriend nuts yet . I’ve always been weird of keeping track of things. I make a note on my phone I update each time I read another book or make a new recipe etc.

@Barbaraprz thank you to you as well!

@snowy22315 If I hadn’t had so many issues during my pregnancy I would have done a lot more. The baby and housework keep me really busy as well.

@LeaPea2417 have you tried it?

@Marilynda1225 thank you

@Jessy3236 not far behind me . Hopefully I’ll get more books read this year. Many months last year was spent laying on the couch with my eyes closed with morning sickness.

@CarolDM she started out slow but is growing fast now.

@shaggin So happy to hear that.

@soymex the best was my newborn

@jstory07 thank you. I hope you have a great year as well.

@Rashnag yes they are so pretty. My sister enjoyed them

@Ccarolyn I love trying new recipes. Many I didn’t like but always fun trying.
