Can't wait for spring! or a cure for the common cold...whichever comes first.

That's right I've got another cold, number three? four? in a four month period?

oh-well what does it matter.

"watched" the super bowl with my friend christian on Sunday, watched more for the commercials though.

I've been trying to get mom to let me join facebook, HELP ME OUT PLEASE give her reasons why i should be able to join!

well that's it for now, have a nice life!

Three posts and no birthdays..is that a new record?

man, this guy is awesome

he built a Wall-e case mod.

and yes that really does hold his computer.

and now as is me i will completely switch subjects


             

and another one

             



lol, everything blends [except Chuck Norris]

Chuck Norris doesn't "style" his hair, it lies perfectly flat out of total fear.

Chuck Norris grinds his coffee with his teeth, and boils the water with his own rage.

well that's all for now, hope this brightened your day!

my day today

so, me stephen, philomena, and caroline went to a corn maze up in northwood today. the corn maze was fine exept for the map that they gave us. one problem was that stations 6 and 8 [there were 15 in all] were nowhere near each other, yet you could see each one from the other. and to top it all off when we were done our trailblazer wouldn't start. we ended up haveing to call a tow truck and get a jump. so we made it back home.

i also watched the jay leno show. 


lol, crazyness of me.

i also found this

there's no substitute for brains either

one day a customer walks up to a counter in a store[this didn't happen in clear lake]
and asks for water pills

employee: sir there are no sutch things as water pills

customer:  yes there is there is pills for everything else

employee: but no water pills

customer: fine i'll find them myself[wanders over to vitamins to look for water pills]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

wow people can be stupid like thinking that pop tarts are healthy because there a breakfast food[this happened to a friend of mine]

well thats all for now so long!!

May you enjoy your special day with lots of cake and ice cream and plenty of presents

Schoolwork is getting to be the norm around here, the big goal this year is to keep them motivated about school and learning. That is the challenge we are working on

A couple weeks ago I took Philomena and Stephen to the County Conservation Center and we chased monarch butterflies and tagged them. it was a lot of fun and we did some other things at the Center while we were there.

Stephen is excited about a book he has found, it is called "Don't Touch That! the book of gross, poisonous, and downright icky plants and critters" by Jeff Day M. D. Stephen is making sure I know all that is in the book, because he is reading it to me every chance he can get. He reads a couple pages in the morning and then in the evening. We have learned everything from poison ivy to bee stings and now we into gross bugs. We are half way through the book.

Philomena is having me find Waldo, White Beard and the scroll. We have been to places where many Waldo's have been before. I sure wish Waldo, White Beard and the scroll would be a lot bigger. I do get lucky and find them first some times

Daniel is going on a weekend camp out with the scouts this weekend. They are going to a State Park and do some fishing. It should be a fun time. They are getting the food tonight for the camp out. Daniel is taking wood shop and metal shop this year. Daniel now has his school permit so he drives to school every morning to catch the van that takes the students to Garner for Shop.

I finish Class #3 of my masters program this weekend. It was about measuring outcome performance. 7 more classes to go and I will be finished.

We have not celebrated Caroline's birthday yet, or our anniversary, I am not quite sure when we will get around doing that.

Sarah is getting a cat, and I don't think she liked the suggested names I offered up for it. It is a male cat which is going to be neutered rather quickly when she gets it. So here is the big question? Does it really matter to give the cat a masculine name if it is neutered?

Mary is back at Central and finding out that she needs to slow down on the number of text messages she is sending out. She has unlimited minutes to talk, but texting seems to be the way to go. I believe she is in the Steel pans band again this year.

Matthew checks in once in a while. Now, we have received suggestion from others parents whose children also fail to phone home on a regular basis. These parents have provided us with some successful techniques they have used in the past that are very effective. I do like the idea of shutting off their phone, that one ranked high on every one's top 10 list.

We finally got some rain up here this week. We have been dry for 24 days. You had to be careful driving, because of all the oil build-up on the roads it was slick as ice when the roads were wet.

Everybody have a good weekend

College kids do not forget to call home!

Happy Wedding Anniversary

Happy Wedding anniversary Greg and Marcy!

Stephen is selling his cub scout popcorn now. If you would like some popcorn let us know.
It is quite good, especially the White Gold
I like the microwave Kettle corn

The hunting seasons are starting to roll through so my fall is starting to pick up. This weekend was the duck opener which lasts for 5 days.

I have my final weekend for my 3rd master's class on Friday and Saturday. It is on Performance Outcomes. It was interesting, I finished my portion of our group project tonight.

I did see Marie's homecoming pictures on her Facebook page, they were nice. Obviously the young man must have passed the gruelling grilling Greg must have had with him since he did get into the picture with Marie. :-)

I do believe I have some contacts with the Iowa City Police Department! HMMMMM!!!??

well that is all for now,

have a good week
