SNOW - SNOW - SNOW ==== will it ever stop ---- I don't KNOW!
It has been snowing here since about 6 AM when I awoke and it hasn't stopped. The kids and I have gone out to shovel 2 times and it makes no difference. The snow is to drifty for them to enjoy it properly.
Of course, Tony is out of town when this happens. I am just sick of it.
I went to take a picture and guess what... my camera will not work. UGH! I am going to bed. LATER

What a month already .. . . . .
February -- can we go back to January. This month so far has not been good. Starts with my dad having a mild heart-attack (is that an oxymoron or what). He had one about 11:30 AM on February 1. He had the where with all to go to the hospital when he started to have chest pains. He got to the emergency room and had the heart-attack. They took him to the Cleveland Clinic to have a catheterization and they found one artery was 100% block, one was 85% and the others were fine. They put stents in the 100% blocked artery and are doing angioplasty today (2/5) on the other. Hopefully everything goes smoothly. So Tony & I went up to Cleveland to visit dad and stay with mom on Thursday night.
My aunt & uncle came over to watch the kids. Patrick had a big day at school on Friday - he was to go to a lunch with an author who writes about animals and their habitats (this is so up his alley). Turns out the author was sick :( so Patrick did not get to meet him. That night at school they had family fun night (we drove home for that) and it was lame! They do not do these well. He won a basket of goodies in the raffle and is having fun sharing with his brother and sister.
Saturday - we all drove up to Cleveland to visit my dad. The kids got to see him and that made him happy. Colleen discovered dress up that day. She recieved a Little Mermaid costume for Christmas and decided that morning she needed to wear it for Grandpa. Well everyone in the hospital loved her and commented on how she looked. SHe kept saying "mommy everyone loves my dress". It was too cute. WE stayed the night with my mom and Tony & I watched Anne of Green Gables on the 42" TV. AWESOME
Sunday - we visited dad again and this time he looked tired. His right arm was swollen. The doctors were not sure why - they think RA or Gout. By the time we left he was in better spirits. And on this day the weather decided to laugh at the groundhog (who said winter is almost over) and bring in a cold front and I am talking COLD. Single digits!
Monday - It is -2 degrees right now and it is 10:30 in the morning!!!! The kids got the day off because it was too cold and dangerous for them to go outside.

Happy Anniversary
Tony & I celebrated our 7th anniversary on January 8. We had a nice quiet dinner at The Warehouse here in town (Marion, OH). My parents came down to watch the kids so we could go out to eat. After we took the kids to gymnastics when went out to eat. I had pizza & Tony had ravioli. Then we went home to tuck the kids into bed and watch the Buckeye's play in the National Championship Game (the reason we stayed in town was to watch the game). Well we should have gone out of town since the game was a disaster for the Buckeye's.
Word of the Year con't
I asked Tony to select his word for the year and he choose PRESENT. He plans to start living in the present and not worry about the past or what will or won't happen in the future. I think that this is a great word for him. He does focus way to much time and energy on worrying about things outside of today and his relm.
GOOD LUCK Tony
GOOD LUCK Tony

Word for the year challange
My favorite blog is Ali Edwards. I read so many times a day it is not funny. I love to see what other people have to say and what she has to say on life. What she says hits home so much of the time.
This week she is challanging people to choose a word to define their outlook for 2007... I have been thinking about this alot and I think my word will be PATIENCE --- I need patience with myself (need to realize things are not always perfect and I need to allow myself to not be). Patience with my kids (don't we all) and understand or realize that they are just that KIDS. They like to make messes (I need to patiently teach them to clean it up at the end of the day); run around like crazy people; jump on one another in fun; stay up past bedtime; and so many other things that just drive me nuts but they are things that can be looked over if you just let yourself.
PATIENCE - I will think about this daily and pray about it!
Thanks Ali!

Start of 2007
Well 2007 started out with a bang..... we did nothing in our household yesterday except drive one another crazy. We have been couped up for 2 days because of sheer laziness on the parents part to get the kiddos out of the house. we did get out of the house to run to the "mall" to buy the kids calendars for 2007. We were able to buy Colleen a Dora calendar (but she will not out it up on the wall). They did not have anything for the boys. Daniel did get a Bob the Builder ornament from Hallmark for 50% off! Patrick picked out some ornaments for Tony & I.
