The big day in Pro Football is almost here. I am not going any place as I have to work on Monday. I hear there are some schools that are not having school Monday because so many students will miss because they stayed up too late watching the game. Maybe the game time should be 2:00 o'clock instead of what it is. Then students will be awake for class... Only an idea...
I just found this today in class. We were searching history to prepare writing a paper. Check it out. I also added the link to family fun area.

Phil saw his shadow! Six more weeks of winter.
genealogy - I am organizing my information that I want to do more research on. This means that I feel I have finally gotten all the information that I need to put back in my program there. I have reached one more goal. WooHoo! Spring break is just around the corner... well it is weeks away... I need to start now writing down what I need to do. I want to go sit at the library and bring up those old articles in the newspapers... I want to go there and read and read and read.
Go to my genealogy blog if you are interested in family history. I will be posting articles I find about people.
It is 5:37 a.m., the sun is not out yet, I wonder will that crazy groundhog see his shadow today.
Weather forecast is cloudy with a chance of flurries.... Does that mean our groundhog will not be see his shadow? Does this mean winter is technically over? You all know it doesn't matter if he sees his shadow or not... spring is still 6 weeks away. It will still be cold for at least 6 more weeks here. Reality.
However don't we all wish that the groundhog could be correct and we only had to deal with winter until yesterday...lol...
Today is also voting day in the primaries. Oh no not more of those ads!!! I can only take so many of them. I guess I will not be watching too much TV for the next year. It is overcast, groundhog day; does this mean that campaigns will end today...sorry no, it means they are just getting into full swing.
I need to get Groundhog Day and put it in my bag of work. Every other year we enjoy this movie. It helps get us out of the "winter blues" mood. The students enjoy having a break from all of the stress of work and we get to enjoy popcorn and some laughs together.
What do you think the ground hog will predict for the winter weather?
It is the last day of January. Where did this month go. We are now one month into 2010. It seems that the "older" we get the faster the months go by. I did accomplish many things this month, however I have many more things to do.
In the family we did have a death, my genealogy studying cousin, Margaret. My family members can go to our private site and read her orbit there. Her knowledge of the family will truly be missed. I am sure she had much more that she could have shared with me. Rest in Peace Margaret. I know you are in Heaven talking to all those that have gone before.
We were able to move Casi and her family into their new home. We didn't take any pictures, bummer, because it was a little muddy. Austin and Devon went to the hotel with Lara and me and we swam. We also watched a movie on the TV and played on our laptops. The boys are so much fun. Of course we ate pancakes as that is Devon's favorite food at Ugaldies.
Have a great day. Remember Ground Hog day is just 2 days away. Maybe he won't see his shadow in this area of the world.
Lara and Chris are staying tonight for supper. We are having spiral ham, baked beans and mac and cheese. Kristina, Dustin and Rachel are coming also.
For lunch today we all went to Monical Pizza.
Here is a link to their coupons and specials.

Wow it doesn't seem possible that 11 years ago we were all sitting in the hospital waiting room waiting on Rachel to be born. She took forever!!! The wait was well worth it. She looks and acts sooooo mature. I don't remember being like that at 11. I think I was just getting into music, by the Beatles, hiding in my room when playing the record by the Beatles, still liking my Barbie dolls, playing board games, watching Mr. Ed, Jettsons, Beverly Hillbillies and loving spending time with my "girl" friends. Wow I think back and wonder why 11 year olds don't think that way today. Rachel wants to know if she can DATE!!!
It seems the Colts are headed to a chance at the Super Bowl again. Note, there is no guarantee to that. We are hoping.
Christmas is over, New Year's is over and now we have had our allotted snow days for the year. Time to think spring break, then graduation, then summer vacation... That right according to Tom White we are only 56 days away from spring break. Mother nature gave us much needed days off without other commitments, and summer is not far off. Had a great genealogy day yesterday... found information I had not been able to find before. Hoping to get to the library to check out more. Yesterday they closed early and I didn't even venture out except to the garbage can and mailbox. Today I will probably venture out at some point. Need to go to the bank... but their website says they may not be open today... I guess I can survive without going until the weather breaks. I don't need groceries except bread...
Hope next weekend will be better so we can go help Casi and Shane move into their new home. The weather has caused delays...
Just added a new link section for coupons. Hope you will enjoy them.
Another Christmas has passed. It is now officially the day after. I was asleep, when like many nights ambulance sirens were "blaring." Usually they are coming from one of the smaller communities to our hospital. For some reason in the middle of the night, they think they have to blare through town. You can hear them from one end to the hospital. During the daylight hours, no sirens. So why at night? I mean this is Danville... not Chicago or some other big town. Traffic is almost nonexistent in the middle of the night. I guess those volunteer crews think we all need to be awake if they have to be. Only difference being, I don't receive any compensation (Yes volunteers do get paid!)I have been told by volunteers that they can charge the insurance or the victim more with the sirens blaring. Turn off the sirens at night... If you happen to meet a car, use the alert horn... Please think of others. You cannot drive over the speed limit... you have the right-of-way in traffic and at all lights... I can see your lights much better than hear your siren if I have on my radio or others in the car talking... so why the siren in the middle of the night?
That's right we went to the boat in MC. Lara, Chris, James and me. How much did we spend, not much... we only took $60.00 for us all to "loose!" We didn't loose it all, but most of it. It was fun. Most of all it was nice to just spend time with Lara and Chris... Let's don't forget that 20 pound cat Tiger too. He's such a ham...
He really wants to be a "dog." LOL
