You know how life just gets in the way of all your good intentions? That's how this blog is. I had the best intentions for keeping up with our daily happenings and just look . . . it has been like forever since I have written. Many things have happened. We now have a first grader and a thrid grader. Soccer is over. Basketball is beginning. We have a new president elect. Life has continued and I have not written anything down. Just so that the kids know - gas was as high as 4.00 a gallon here not too long ago. There were gas shortages which caused long lines. The stock market has done weird things like continue to set records for the lowest that it can go in one day. Your parents are losing money right and left with their retirement accounts and if things don't improve you will be responsible for taking care of us when you have your own families. Just wanted to give you a heads up. Christmas is around the corner and I really hope that people will focus on the fact that Jesus is the reason for the season and not for me trying to buy them a gift that they will look at and wonder just what I was thinking when I plunked down money to purchase this strange item for them. I will try to keep this updated. Deer season has just started and I will be holding down the home front while Dave attempts to load the freezer. Just so the kids know - grocery prices have skyrocketed and we are living more frugal. You would realize the humor in that statement if you already knew just how frugal we already are. The government has bailed out the banks and are now looking at a bail out plan for the car loans. Next up will be home loans. I wonder who will help bail out the people that are trying their hardest to keep from having to use a bail out? Oh well, why don't I just keep this blog up. . . After all, the kids will need to know exactly why they are taking care of mom and dad when we retire.
Sometimes my kids can say the funnest words. This morning it was so foggy outside that it was difficult to see. Katie says, "I can't believe how froggy it is this morning." Cole agreed that it was very froggy. Katie sometimes says allergy for alert when playing battle with her brother. Cole says that he takes durteck (Zurteck) for allergies. They were singing, "The weather outside is nightfull, the sun is so delightful, since we have no place to go, Let it snow." Well, at least they say I love you just right.
