It really is Monday this time. However, it is a good Monday here in Michigan. You can tell because
1) The boys can actually wear tennis shoes to school. There may be snow left on the ground and it might be mucky out but there toes are not going to break from the frigid cold (that is next week again)
2) When you use the windshield washer fluid in the van - it actually works. Do you know how long I have been throwing snow on the windshield?
The weather is great and Valentine's Day is coming. Enjoy today!!!

Is It Monday?
I have looked at the calendar numerous times and fail to see the humor in today. I attended a PTO meeting last night to get more information on the closing of one of our local elementary schools. Any of the three listed will affect the kids so we sit and wait. . .
I spoke to my brother and sister who had to administer CPR on the neighbor this morning. I mean thank goodness they were there and they both have the skills to do that. So they wait to hear how he is doing and they wait. . .
The phone rings from the credit union-which can't possibly be a good sign and they inform me that our credit and debit cards have been returned as one of the numbers listed on the hacked list from their main security house. A hacker now has both numbers to our main account so again we sit and wait . . .
Again I ask - is it Monday or is this day just one cruel joke........

In perspective
Today it snowed so much that I kept the youngest home. We worked on puzzles - I mean big puzzles. Yesterday we finished a 100 piece and 300 piece puzzle. Today we started a 1000 piece puzzle. The crazy part of that is the card table in the family room covered with 900+ pieces just waiting for the first fight, fit or flinging of toys tomorrow. UGH!!
It was career day in kindergarten today. So the big guy wanted to go as a TransNav guy - just like his daddy. He dressed in his khaki pants, TransNav shirt and took some parts that are made for the Ford Mustang. I have a picture before he left school with his cell phone and everything - just like daddy :)
It's almost time to get to bed. I have finished playing on Webkinz for the boys, played Mafia Wars on MySpace (which I have more people than Nick), and read some grown up news websites - just to keep in touch with the outside world. Good night everyone and think of the mess that puzzle will make when it flies through the room - it is still worth it.

How time flies
It's amazing how fast time flies by. I can't believe the holidays have come and gone and we're almost to the end of January. The holidays were wonderful - the youngest one gave us a chuckle whenever he opened presents. If you asked what he had he would turn his back and say not yet, not yet. He did this until every last piece of paper and tape were off.
January was the beginning of a new year and a new school for the oldest. We decided to change schools in the best interest of the oldest. Now when you ask what he likes about school he says "there aren't any bullies there." He is so happy, doing great at the end of the second marking period and so eager to go to school - what a change.
It's been crazy here - just like it is with each and every one of you. The highlight of the week has been making a snowman in the front yard (and yes one day it was warm enough to go outside). We have had our downs though - the silverware and utensil drawers both breaking today, the oldest with pink eye, a sinus infection and inpetigo, and the list goes on and on. The mounds of laundry, the countertops full of dishes, shedding dogs, endless amount of "I wish I had time to do thats" and I think I will go play on the Webkinz website and earn some money for the boys to buy new things tomorrow.
