We're supposed to have a day off here tomorrow. For the first time ever, they gave us a "statuatory holiday" in February. Apparently they're saying there are too many suicides in February and they decided it would be a good idea to have a day off in between Christmas and Easter. They're calling it "Family Day" tomorrow.
Unfortunately I have to work tomorrow regardless of whether I'm suicidal or not!! On one hand, I don't have to get the kids up for school and go through that hassle.... I can just get up, have a shower and go to work! That'll be cool. On the other hand, I get to come home to cooped up kids that are going to make a disaster of my half clean house tomorrow..... I'll have to lay down the law before I leave for work. Not that that'll help.
Today was a good Sunday. After church this morning I came home and made bacon and french toast for the gang of kids that slept over here. I had 5 extra 16 and 17 year olds sleep downstairs last night - MAN can they eat!!!!!!!
It was fun though - I love being able to do the things for my kids that I wish my parents had done for me. Not that I was raised so badly - but I certainly didn't have friends staying overnight when I was 16!! Especially NOT boys!
After the gang dispersed I got the laundry going and then actually had an hour long nap! I have SO much that I COULD have been doing.... but it's Sunday - I'm allowed! Plus Nascar was on in the background - nothing puts me to sleep faster than the sound of a car race. Sorry Nascar fans - you can sleep during the hockey games, I don't mind!
Tonight we've been hanging around trying to find something decent on TV - which is impossible on Sunday nights, so we got out a deck of cards.
The game is called "Dutch Blitz". What a blast! I think we may have started something because all the kids are talking about tomorrow's games!! One of my son-in-laws-to-be was here to play with us and he won the whole thing ...... we need to knock him off his little victory dance pedestal!!
He's not really my son - in - law to be - but he could be some day. I love him like he was my own. Its so weird to think of if and when he and my daughter ever break up - I'd be as heart broken as she would be I reckon!
Why doesn't spell check work in here like it does in the comment area?
I wish it would snow here some more. I'm sick of the cold, but I'd like to see some more snow. Azron knows what I'm talking about - 40 below gets old real quick, but minus 5 and tons of snow can be alot of fun!! Right Azron?
We watched Deal or No Deal tonight - the guy quit way too soon...... but he played the game right I think. He walked away with $94K - which is nice money - but he could have had alot more if he went a little further.
I meant to write something entirely different tonight but I'll save it for tomorrow. Maybe.
