Are you ready for some football?

It hardly seems fair does it?  I actually think I feel bad that I’m sitting in my 70 degree house, warm fire in the fireplace and those idiots are running around a football field in GreenBay in sub zero temps for my amusement.  Ok, I don’t feel that bad.  Kind of funny that we are almost paralyzed by the cold here and it’s only in the 40’s. 

Leo is a bit restless tonight.  He went down at 7:30 but he’s been up twice since.  Lily went down relatively easily tonight.  Her cough isn’t as bad as last night.  Leo and I also have “the cough” that I’m sure Lily brought home from school.  Diane is the only one who isn’t coughing.

I guess I’m not sure what is going on tomorrow.  It’s a holiday so maybe it’ll make for a quiet day.  Banks and post office closed.   Honestly, I’ve got plenty of work I need to do but I need the bank and the post office to get it done.   It’s garbage day and I think they are running.  I’ve got a few things to do around here and Diane has a dentist appointment just before noon.   So maybe we’ll plan on being around the house tomorrow.

Ok, I’m really out of things to tell you.  It’s 9:30 and we are about ready for bed.  I suppose Diane is right, if I didn’t tell you nearly every detail of our day, I’d hear from more people.

Good night!

The Red Dot

Typical Sunday around here.  Except for the cold.  Barely in the 60’s today.  We’re all bundled up in jackets.  I’ve even started up the fireplace.  Low 40’s tonight.  The front gave us an inch of rain – always welcome this time of year.

Lily and I did the grocery shopping while Diane cleaned the house.  After lunch we headed to our favorite produce mart out east for strawberries and a sundae.  We also scored some fried peanuts, and some boiled peanuts.  Perfect snacks for the football games.

Leo has been sitting here on the floor with me.  It’s hard to believe he’s going on 6 months old.  He has his mind set to crawl – if only he can get his legs to work with his arms.  So far he thinks the way to do it is only with his hands.  He reaches forward, grabs a handful of carpet and pulls himself forward.  He doesn’t move far, but the idea is there.  Most of the time, he just spins in circles.
