Well we had a fun day yesterday and the weather cooperated. The news of the day of course is that Bin Laden has reportedly been killed. The news broke at about 9pm our time last night. Hopefully this will have a positive impact on terrorism and bring some closure to those families who lost loved ones 10 years ago. The problem is that this is such a fanatical movement that there’s hundreds of mis-guided people waiting to take his place. Hopefully the people of the World can wake up and just learn to live and let live.
Now to our little corner of the World. The oldest one’s football game was great. He and the team played well and they won their third game in a row to stay undefeated. The littlest one joined us at 2 or 3am this morning in our bed. At about 4:30 he (or a pillow) knocked a glass of water off the nightstand which woke me and the misses. She has the unique talent of falling right back to sleep while I on the other hand, am up for the day.
Mom works 11 to 7:30 today and then is off for a week. She’s super excited about this break from work which is a whole week. She had asked for this time off as I was supposed to be in Spain this week but opted late last week to send a co-worker instead. I might be in New York Thursday and Friday but am also thinking of just staying home. You see her birthday is this Wednesday and Mother’s Day is Sunday. It should be quite a week. Maybe she can get down to the spa for some much needed pampering.
We thought of going somewhere for a day or two (just local in CO) but that was easily squashed when we checked our finances. We’re struggling (again) to recover from the $2600 in property taxes we had to pay Saturday just to get through the month. So even a brief vacation is out. Hopefully the weather will cooperate this week and the misses can plant her small garden which she very much enjoys. Our rhubarb, mint and raspberries are already going strong. We need to get some squash, beans, tomato’s and potato’s going fast. Here in CO they say not to plant until after Mother’s Day due to the unpredictable weather. (it was supposed to snow yesterday!)
School is out May 31st! That means 4 weeks to go before summer for the boys. We need to line up some day care or plan to occupy them while Mom and I are both working. This will not be easy as babysitters make the same per hour as Mom, unbelievable! We do have the pool for them to go to but need someone to take, watch and then bring them home. I think I just heard the paper get here, it’s real late this morning, probably due to the Bin Laden event. Usually I read the paper first so this has thrown my entire day out of whack! What will I do? Maybe I should just skip it today. If it wasn’t for the sports section, I’d cancel it and save the $12 or $144 per year! It’s a bit after 6 so time to empty the dishwasher. I already fed the dogs, made coffee, folded the clothes in the dryer and put in a new load and now need to get something going for breakfast. First thing to do is get the misses some coffee. She moves much slower than I in the morning. I can rise for the day with the same (if not more) vigor as I did when I was young. I’m pretty much a morning person. So, another day begins, you all stay safe, healthy and enjoy your day. We hope it’s a good one for all!
God bless,
