Groundhog Day Is Tomorrow!!

Probably not a big deal for all of you--quite the exciting highlight of our Winter! We have traditions that must be followed to the letter!! Kids depend upon this! Actually, it's really fun for mom too!

Groundhog Day is a great flick for your viewing pleasure! It tries to make you think it was filmed in Pennsylvania--but it's a total lie! They filmed it in Woodstock, IL--a cute little town up north. Maybe tomorrow we should start a new tradition and make our pilgrimage to Woodstock instead of Punxsutawney--guaranteed to be far fewer people gathering there!!

I will definitely update you on all of our fun tomorrow!

What A Loss!

What a sad sad story! Barbaro, after so many months of hopeful recovery, suffered another setback, and they decided that they should put her down! Ohhhhhh, how sad! It happened a few days ago--but I've been so busy, I'm barely catching up on it now! I feel so bad!! The owners, trainers and doctors--not to mention so many Americans were pulling for her! I can't imagine what the people working with her must be feeling! She was such a beautiful horse, and it was such a tragic accident! My heart goes out to all of the people that loved her, she will be missed!!

Home Sick!!

I thought we had made it through the bulk of the "gook" period relatively unscathed! Sadly, when I woke Daniel up this morning for school he was all achy and fevering! Poor little thing! So I had to call him out sick today. Now, I didn't have much planned for the day--just some grocery shopping and cleaning--and the cleaning I can still do--but the grocery shopping is out! That would be leaving him alone just too long. I don't have a problem leaving him for a few minutes to drop his sister off at school--he's 7 next week-and is fully capable of getting himself out of the house or calling 911 in an emergency. But grocery shopping can take upwards of an hour--and that is just too long! So I will wait until later this evening to see if he is feeling better--or just put it off until tomorrow!

I remember going to school when I was younger--when I didn't feel good! What misery! So he's snuggled up in front of the tv--sound asleep!
