Today, we didn't have anything to do. No where to go. It is so nice for once. Seems like every weekend we have had to be somewhere. Most people would be cleaning and straightening out their lives...nope not us. We have been so lazy. I slept in till almost 9:00 a.m. Then made cinnamon bread for the boys. Around 11:00 a.m., I crawled back in bed beside Terry. He was asleep and I did the same. I was in there for a couple of hours.
It is nice to be quiet sometimes. Ok, I am lying. My family loves to be on the go and without doing it we are bored stiff. I dread tomorrow, because it will be the same. I should be doing lots of stuff. Haven't done that yet.

A Weekend Visit
Well they found us again. My mother-in-law and her boyfriend came for a visit. This should hold us out for a lot of months now. Shouldn't have anymore visits anytime soon I wouldn't think. Visits with the in-laws has become a common occurance the last few months. I enjoy the company, but man it is a lot of work. This time it wasn't so bad as we were not at home much during the time they were here.
Wyatt had another archery competition. He did really well. Moved up to level 3 in the recurve. Stayed at level 1 in the compound. Good news is that he did better on the compound. Seems to be understading it just a little more. The in-laws seemed to enjoy it. They had never been to one before so was all new to them. Wyatt was able to shoot in the first 2 rounds and it was over quicker than the past tournaments. We went to eat and didn't have to wait long before they gave out the awards.
On the drive home, we drove through Roman Nose Stare Park. That was a lot of fun. Had the best day in a long time to enjoy the scenery. Walked around and looked at the lake. If your in the neighborhood call and stop by.

Another Day at the Office
Good morning all! I am really being lazy lately. I need to maybe see the doctor but with no money and possible laying-off over our heads, I will skip it. I have had a cough for the last 4 months or so. It is just sinus drainage in the back of my throat. I have taken Claritan and Mucinex for it but no help. Now I think I am getting a sinus infection. Trying to do everything not to.
Life here hasn't changed. There is a list of things I need to do but don't wanna. They are just a list of things that need to be done but is really tedious. Oh well. Just do it and it will be over. My friend just called. We are going out to lunch and she called to inform me to be ready a little sooner. So off to hit the shower and get ready. Later.

The Economy
Well the New Year has come and gone. We found the dog's owner. His name is Apollo. She gave the boys $20 which I thought was very generous. We would have done it for free. Didn't expect payment. I asked to keep him till noon so we could love on him before we had to take him back home. She also owns a cocker named Sara. Sara came to the door when we rang it. She didn't bark until she saw Apollo. She missed him so much and you could tell. Apollo was scared from some fireworks and jumped the fence. I am glad that we were able to help him out so he didn't get hurt.
I feel like I haven't gotten anything accomplished lately. I have been keeping up with housework but nothing else. I hate housework!! I really need to find a job. Terry doesn't think his job will continue. He thinks his boss is trying to sell the company off. I don't know what we are going to do. I am going to encourage him to find something else. But he is not a team player. He speaks before he thinks. So irritating. Not too many employees will put up with that. Pray that he doesn't get layed off.
I think I am going to call the school that I applied to tomorrow. I didn't want the job because of the hours but now I can't be picky. I really didn't want the job either but we need money for rent, food, etc. The hours will work for me but not my family. They will have to adjust and hope that things get better financially for all. I have looked around for a job and there just isn't a whole lot of options.

Happy New Year!
Well 2008 has come to a close. Ended it with lots of fun. Terry and I went out with our friends, Tony and Sonya to supper. The boys were at a church function that lasted till 12:30. Had to take advantage of that so we went out. After supper, we came back to our house and played games and the Wii. At midnight, we kissed and drank a glass of sparkling wine. I am not a champagne fan so the wine was a real treat! Even Terry thought it was good. Then off to get the boys. They had a blast! Had a hard time getting them to sleep.
Funniest part of the evening is that we found a dog. Well, ok, he found us. When we were driving to the church, we saw a dog in the street. When I stopped, the dog came running out of the dark. Scared me. I put him in the vehicle and took him home. I would not want him to get ran over. Today, is New Year's and everything is closed. So there was no way to contact his owner. Hoping it will be an easy process as he is wearing a collar and it has his rabies tag on it. Nice dog and I am certain the owners are frantic with worry. The boys are loving his visit. I have not had to tell them to give him food and water. They can not believe how much water he drinks. They have also taken him on a walk about 3-4 times today. I would love to get another dog, but Terry is adamant about no more dogs.
All of our company is gone. Took f-i-l back to Nebraska on Christmas Day. Whew! We made it. He was in good health and he didn't croak from the salt intake. Then we travelled to Lincoln to spend time with my family. I was the guest finally. That was kind of nice. I tried to help my sister out as much as possible. I still don't get some things my family treats me. Has never made sense to me. Oh well. Life is short.
Jimbo has a fabulous light show this year. Him and his Christmas lights. I was really impressed with them. My niece, mother, sister and I drove to the corner and watched the lights. Also, listened to the radio station. It was really nice. Only came back because we were hungry and thought the steaks should be done. My nephew, BJ, cooked the steaks. Glad he doesn't take after his dad in cooking steaks. Bert's idea of cooked steaks is well done. BJ likes to eat his like that but he cooked everyone else at around medium. Good food! I would have liked to stay a day longer, but I decided I needed to get home. Glad we did as I was ill the next day and I would have had to drive home like that. Besides, Terry had a day off to enjoy around the house. No family members visiting. Pure heaven!
