Rainy, rainy chilly day.  That's okay, as long as it is above freezing and not snowing or icing!!!  When I fed Andy this morning, I told him to stay in his room and read today...wonder what he would read, if he could read...I think probably comedies...surely not books where the dog dies in the end!  I don't like those either.

First Day of Spring! Yay....20 March 2010

First day of spring....and my allergies have kicked in big time...sneezy, sleepy, dopey, runny, etc.  But it IS spring and the sun is shining and the birds are singing...ahhhhchooo.
Pretty quiet day here, a trip to Kroger was the only reason I changed out of my pjs...oh, and the pretty weather has brought out the campaigners in the area...couldn't (oh, darn) answer the door because I had on pjs....that's my story and  I am sticking to it.
March Madness and my brackets are all upset, but I really don't care because I like it when the underdogs win, which is pretty much what is happening!

It sure is easy to forget to post on a blog when you are in school everyday and not having snow days!!! I  got a dose of what retirement is going to be like and I liked it. 

Anyway, finally few minutes to write a few lines...

Saturday morning I stayed with Ben and Baker from 9am til about 2, then they came over here for a while and did some paint by number pictures (I'll insert a photo) and played with the cats, then Ben and I went to see "The Lightning Thief," based on a book we had both read...it was too scary for Baker, so she went shopping with her mom and dad.  The movie was really really good. Ben spent the night and we have all just vegetated all day, reading, watching UK play ball, etc.  Nice weekend.

Hey girlfriend. Finally got onto this blog. Love the pics of you and your mom. I will use this regularly to see how things are going. This is cool. I am proud of you for setting this up. I wouldn't have a clue how to do it. You will have to teach me how to send pics.

Busy weekend.  Yesterday I went to watch Ben swim in a meet in Owensboro.  His times were good, but not good enough to qualify for state, which he really wanted.  You know, I thought after Martie and Jennie were grown, I was through with the pain and anguish that can go with childhood sports, but in a way it is even worse with the grands.  I wanted this for Ben so bad...and seeing Jennie and Brent hurting for him makes the hurt double!!!!  And, yes, I know...it is not that important, but you want your kids and grandkids to have what they want...But...Ben has just started being serious about swimming this year and he IS only ten years old.  He will be fine...as a matter of fact, he forgets it a long time before the rest of us do!   LOL.
Anyway, today Baker was still sick, so I stayed with her while Jen and Brent both went with Ben...he still didn't qualify, but Jen said he came so very close.  At least, that is one weekend they can stay home...and not have to run to a swim meet.  :)

I can tell that this is going to be a weekend "thing."  I still haven't figured out how to work in the cooking blog...everytime I tried to go to annie n kentucky, it would go to that one, so I deleted it...will try to figure it out because I would also like to have a reading one....anyone know what to do?

Worried about Baker and Jen, they have been sick all week.  Jen just called, she has taken Baker to Urgent Care at Madisonville because she just isn't getting better.  There's a lot of stuff going around, including strep and bronchitis...hope it is neither of those.  Prayers for my girls!

Snowing again...this one should pass pretty quickly, though.  I am going to sit tight until it does, though.  I sent this picture to Kim and Denise...didn't think they would believe me!

LOL...I didn't realize a little leprachaun was peeking in one corner and Jake in the other!  We are having a Mardi Gras potluck in the library today, so I hope I can make it to school.  I made some Hello Dollies, and a Black-Eyed Pea Gumbo (taste-tested it last night...yummy!).
