I have been watching a lot of the History Channel these days. The Kiddo has been busy doing other stuff so he has left me alone with the TV, which is way nice. So - I have been watching all about Hitler and Germany and the war. Its been rather melancholy for sure. My Mom has been telling my sis and I about her memories when she was a kid and the War, but now seeing it on TV with full pictures, sure hits home. Gosh it must have been terrible for kids back then; she was 7 when the War in Germany ended. I remember her telling me how they had to hide in the bomb shelters, food was scarse and I am sure she could have used some Naot shoes. Now tho, she is good and we are going over to her place for dinner and Marzipan tomorrow. I love making Marzipan w/the family! I hope to share some pics tomorrow.
The kids end-of-quarter grades came back the other day. Our family likes to see report cards! He got 5 A’s and 2 A-’s, not to shabby! I am once again a proud Mom! and a Poor one. for each A he gets money and he pretty much wiped me out this time, but thats fine with me! I hope that in the future he will get a wonderful job making lots of money, but most of all - that he is happy in his job. And if that means he will be creating cardboard displays, as long as he is happy so am I!
I used to really hate Wednesdays. But now I rather like them a lot. It is my short day at work, and I get to work only a half day. So Nice! Got a lot done today as well; its only about 6pm and I am actually done with all my chores, including dinner! This means I get to rest on the couch with my tradional Hot Chocolate. I make it with real milk and real cocoa, its better that way. Some nights I do crave a nice cup of coffee or even a jura capresso, but I cannot take the caffein anymore, so I get Hot Chocolate. Still, it IS chocolate and I gotta have my daily dose of Chocolate!
Wow, what a difference one day makes. Today - no time for nothing! Kids over, running around, busy busy busy. No las vegas vacation packages for me anytime soon. I dont know how some people do it tho, with more than one child. I look up to them for sure.
Tonight it is cold; no fire as we have been in and out a lot. The good news tho, is that it is supposed to snow again in a few days, wee hee! I love the snow. Cant have Christmas with snow for sure. Plus, we hope to put up the Tree this weekend and . . . make Marzipan! I love getting together with family each year to make the Marzipan, its very special for me and I vow to continue it every year.
Well time for more laundry, eGads. Such Fun. Not.

Well here I sit, on a snow wintery day in November. I have a nice fire going, cozy and warm. The bummer part is that I happen to be all alone. The kiddo is off w/his friends (which is VERY nice) and I can watch the SyFy Channel. So a nice relaxing Saturday afternoon for me. Sometimes tho, I actually miss having someone around, like a boyfriend. Yes, it is a very rare thing for me these days, to even think about boyfriends, but some days . . . it would be nice.
Well this week is totally off wack. Left work early yesterday cuz of the sick kido, left early today to take him to the Doc. Good thing is that at least he is not too very sick; just the common cold. The bad part is that it is lingering for like weeks! I hate this! I would like to go back to nice and boring good health. There is good news tho, it is supposed to rain and even snow in the next few days. As long as I can avoid catching the cold from my kiddo, I will be extreemly happy! Snow and Health. The best things in life for sure.
Here is a pic of Chloe; the last of the nice weather I hope. I will need a digital frame to keep the pics revolving!
Wellthe kiddo woke up with a sore throat this morning. eGads I hope he doesnt have Swine Flu. My friend here at work said her son had a sore throat yesterday too, they took him in for testing and he came out possitive for swine flu. I guess thats the way it starts out! However, my kiddo has had a sore throat on and off for a week or so; I think he just might be worn out and tired - we both need the weekend for sure.
So, I wonder now, if I should take my son in for testing? We do have 2 people out sick here at work and I have been feeling rather tired too, but thats nothing new as I am always tired.
Right now I will just wait and see what happens. I think this weekend we both are just going to lounge around and rest.
This is Jet.
He is thus named so as he flew waaaaaay over to Utah from Sweden. He is my sister poochie. (5 months old?)
As you can see, there is green grass in the pic. Well today, it is almost snowing. Which is good! I love the snow! We only have a trace at our place, but I am hoping for a big blizzard in the future. We even had a nice fire the other night, tooooasty. I am ready to leave work now and light another fire and get warm (its rather cold here at work today).
XO
