Well it’s 15 degrees outside and it looks like all the flowers we planted the other day when it was 80 degrees are now hanging limp covered in ice. Hope some survive. If there was enough moisture to give them a protective cover of ice, some should be ok, otherwise, we’ll do it all again in a few weeks.
I’m watching CNN this morning while writing this and am sorry to mention politics but they’re running a story that the White House is launching Obama’s re-election bid today and wants to raise 1 Billion dollars! Now without going off into politics to much (as the misses will be really mad at me) there is just something really wrong with our whole system that any political campaign would spend 1 Billion dollars trying to get anyone elected. Do you know that it takes about 32 years for your heart to beat 1 billion times??? It takes 32,000 years for your heart to beat 1 trillion times and we owe 14 trillion dollars right now as a country!
Oh well, I’ll save my political speech for the big birthday bash this weekend as I’ve been asked to speak, can’t wait to share my views with everyone as there are a lot of misguided people out there.
The oldest boys football game was cancelled yesterday so we had one of his team mates over for the afternoon. All three of them had a great time. I tried to nurse by back back to health but not much is working. I think I’m going to have to try a chiropractor today even though they scare the hell out of me. You might remember the misses got her neck all jacked up a few years ago by one of these so called doctors. I’ll decide later but something has to be done as it’s never been this bad. Maybe I should just go to the gym and see if I can “lift” my way out of this and pop it back into shape.
Mom arrived home around 8:45pm and pretty much went right to bed, everyone is still sleeping this morning. There is already a large fire burning in the foothills that has destroyed 15 or 20 homes. This is a bit early for fire season here in Colorado. Hope we get some much needed rain soon. I’ve been living with April Fools pranks from the boys for 3 days now. I think the boys, especially the little one, thinks it’s a month long deal. So far Mom has stopped them twice from covering me with shaving cream while I was still asleep. They’re determined to get me though so I’m sure one day soon you’ll read all about it.
My Mom comes home 2 weeks from today, it’ll be good to have her around again as everyone misses her. We hope she’s having fun in Arizona, I guess it was 100 degrees the other day. That right there would be enough to make me leave!
Mom just came down so time to go. The boys have another day off today, (big surprise as I thought Spring Break was over) and Mom works from 12 to 9. Oh boy, it’ll be a fun bust=y day juggling my work, back and keeping them occupied. Hope everyone is doing well, take care,
