A snowy spring friday


Nothing new today....cept the snow outside....I'm moving back to California till the sun decides to stay up.....my cat is trying to help me type...the kids are playing in the garage.....they didn't want to come in, they have cabin fever SO BAD...so I can see them while sitting in a warm house =-)
Rolo is trying to get sick again (actually i think its just allergies) Krackel is awsome...she's doing really good in school. Her reading is up to par and no longer needs the reading program at school. She is still having alot of trouble with math though. And I am no help in that department. Kit Kat is sick from what her mother says, but that's nothing new.
We will be going over to see the new baby this weekend. Will be the first time Krackel gets to see her, since they didn't let her back at the hospital to see her, cause she doesn't share the same "germs" as the rest of the family......something like that.
it's my sister-in-laws birthday saturday too.....wow full weekend....hopefully the sun decides to show its face sometime this weekend.....
hope everyone has a great weekend!!!

Another Hump day....

It's wed...half way through the week...Sun is shinning, wind is blowing, birds are chirrrrrrrrping, cat is going crazy, kids are down for a nap, nothing but the sound of the humidifier going (very soothing i might add) This is a good day. Rolo didn't sleep good last night, she was up and down all night. I think it's cause Mr. Goodbar broke her routine...he had to work late and didn't get to put her to sleep. She doesn't like a break in routine...but who does aye =-)
hope everyone has a very lovely day!!!

CHOCOLATE FACT: In the 1870's, the Swiss add milk to chocolate to create the edible form Americans so often enjoy today.

CHOCOLATE FACT: Chocolate was considered an aphrodisiac by the Aztec Indians, and as such, was forbidden to women. Today, some postulate that chocolate triggers a brain chemical that produces the same reaction brought on by a passionate love affair. Perhaps that is why, when a love affair turns sour, many a spurned lover goes on a chocolate binge.
