Month: February 2003

  • Hello - We have had a major dump of snow in Minnesota.  There must be about 10 minches out there.  It snow all day yesterday.  I woke up early, but I was hoping to go into work a bit late to ensure the roads are plowed.  Since I was up early I could revamp my site for February, so we have  sort of Valentine's Day look going on.   It is always fun to get a new look. 


    Yesterday we mostly stayed indoors.  Erik was out sledding most of the day.  I did bundle Tommy up and took him out to explore the snow.  He thought it was fun.  He would walk on the road and catch flakes on his face.  Joshua was Mr. Cleaning guy, he reorganized Tommy's playroom and took Tommy down to play with him.  Josh and Tommy spent most of the day together playing.  They are so cute together. 


    Joshua was up super early this morning watching the TV to see if school would be cancelled, no such luck.  We live in the city and it has only been cancelled once in the 5 years we have lived here.  It is not like there are farm kids to get. 


    As for me, I did some laundry and made brownies yesterday.  I also went through the bins of 18 months to 2T clothes down stairs and found some to fit Tom.  He is starting to outgrow what is in his drawers. 


    I guess it is time to get ready for work.  Hope everyone had a great weekend!


  • THANK YOU...Thank you.......to Faeriegil and Zvanoizu!!  Your right, Border =0, that was sure easy enough.  Now my image works fine...thanks!!  It had been so very long since I had done an image map.  I have forgotten so much stuff....Thanks again!


  • Argh..are there any HTML experts out there???   Josh and I made the little site map on the my side bar.  The hanger with various signs.  I created hot spots and each sign in link appropriately.  My problem is that the entire graphic has this green line around it.......what is up with that!!  How do I get rid of it??????

  • Morning......I am up early again.  What is up with that!!  OH well....I guess I will have plenty of time to get ready for church.  We did our taxes yesterday and have a large refund coming in a few days.  I look forward to that.  That will help us make it through the next few months as my hubby continues to look for employment.  This whole unemployed thing has been the most difficult thing I think we have had to work through.  I even find it more emotionally taxing then fighting infertility to have Tommy.  And that was pretty stressful to some extent. I look forward to less stress in our lives. 


    Yesterday we went to Sam's Club and got some laundry Detergent and a few other things we needed.  I made a beef roast in the pressure cooker.  I am still learning to use that thing.  LOL!!  The meat come out fantastic!  The best roast I ever had.   But I always totally scorch the bottom of the pan since you can't stir it.  I think I need to just add more liquid or something.   I will continue to figure this out!  But it was very good.  The pan is still soaking


    The boys were all bathed last night for church, so that is done.  After that we watched a movie and had Doritos with cheese on them.  Josh hung out downstairs with his buddy Charlie and watch Hockey.  Tommy was good and went to bed around 8:30.  He is getting better about getting to bed earlier.


    Tommy's new word of the day is "Yeah".  If you ask him a question he will answer "Yeah".  He seems to relate to your voice going up at the end to know if it is a question.   So we ask him "are you a girl"  he says "yeah".  The boys have a bit too much fun with Tommy's new trick. 


    I am off to get ready for church.  I plan on trying to get my list from yesterday completed the rest of the way, then relax!!!   I only had time to read one chapter yesterday.  I need to get my book finished.  I might even look for a new valentine's sort of look for the blog....hmmmm...the possibilities....Have a great Day!!   


  • Saturday.........and I am up early!  Oh well....at least maybe I will get a lot done and a bit of time to read.  Today we are going in to have our taxes done and need to go to the library.  My favorite place to go!!  I don't have much else planned for today.  I jsut want to be home with my family, which I rarely get to do during the week.
