I almost missed my first picture! Eeesh that would have started the year off just right!

Last night, New Year's Eve, was the Y's Kid's Night Out: New Year's Overnighter. This means that thirty kids between 5 and 12 came to the Downtown Boise YMCA to spend the night. I am the coordinator for this, so I got to put the whole thing together and then spend the night with the kids. I also had 10 teens to deal with as well. These KNO's are so stressful! There is so much happening all at once, and frankly I'm just new and super worried and high strung anyways! So last night we got an inflatable bouncy house, Mr. Wizard. He was a BITCH to put up! We had to go to the West Y to procure him, and then down to DT Y to get him ready. He weighs like 400 pounds. It sucked. BUT once he was full of air, it was pretty cool, and the kids loved it! Which I hear is the most important part.... I guess. So here is a picture of him:

Last night the kids also got to go to the roof and shout HAPPY NEW YEAR'S! And blow, shake and rattle all their noise makers... kids can do this for like an entire hour. They swam, ate, and watched a movie. FInally around 2:30 kids were in bed and ready to sleep. By 4 I got to! !!!!! I then had to wake me, and everyone else up at 6:30-7. Needless to say I am very tired and crabby today.

I finally got to leave the Y around 9am, drive my employee home, and then get Goose for the next adventure of the day, which was the New Year's Day 5K. Here is a picture of Goose's first race:

He did very well. However he's limping pretty bad these days. I'm not sure what to do, I've looked over his legs, and pulled them, put pressure all over them, and he won't let me know what hurts, so I'm not sure if it's just the cold or what! After awhile he sometimes doesn't limp. SO I'm not sure what to do. Bring him to a vet, I'm just worried about cost. Same reason I haven't seen a doctor for my knee. Either it will go away, or get really bad. Dumb.

So two pictures to start off the year. I'm exhausted, and have so much more to say, but tomorrow is a new day, which I'm taking off from work!!! I'm going to turn my work phone off and everything!!!
