Best Winter Email

With as cold as it has been here I thought sharing this email would be fitting. Yesterday for the first time in at least 8 years the school my kids go to had a late start. I apologize to anyone that this may offend. LOL.

Keep our fingers crossed

Yesterday the company I supply parts for announced that they have begun another round of layoffs. That makes me nervous. The plant I work in was originally 100 people plus strong. Now we are at around 44 people. We are running at the bare minimum. If our customers continue to layoff it is going to affect me at some point.

A Break from Sanity

Here you have the enjoyment of seeing what my family finds entertaining. This is just some of the normal things that go on in my house with the dogs. If you throw a ball they look at you like you are nuts. But you put a helicoper in the mix and it is play time:

Another Storm is on its Way

We have another storm coming our way. Hopefully we will not get as much as we have already got. Hubby and his buddies are driving right in to the area where there is going to be lots of snow. What a guy will do so he can go and look at guns. LOL

Yesterday the stores were selling out of everything. Bread, milk, water. The way people act you think the world is ending. Its is not like we are going to get 12FEET and not be able to get out. Like this picture :

Happy New Year 2009

Happy New year to everyone. I barely made it to midnight. I guess I am just getting to old.
We went to friends and played cards and Scene It. Began to watch a movie and that was when I began to doze off. As, my dad would say "can't hang with the big dogs huh".
We left the little man asleep on the floor there. He is just to big for me to care now days. And Brit went to hang out with one of her girlfriends. She will be seen sometime today.
My resolution is to take everyday like it is the last. To enjoy the people I am with, be the best that I can. And not to sweat the little stuff.
