Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!  A very cold day in SW Montana.  Kids are going to school, of course...we aren't a bunch of wusses like the people in Denver!  My sister teaches school there, and I think she is more excited than the kids.  I remember sitting by the radio as a kid, waiting to hear if we were

I can't see and I am loaded up on Vicodin so I am going to keep this short!  I am very glad I can't see today, because it's just me and the kids, and I know they are messing up my very clean house.  I can't wait for this next week, when my eyes get stronger and stronger.  I miss being at work, and should be back on Monday.

I am NOT a good skier.  My husband and oldest daughter are.  My middle child is like me...she's just going for the cute outfits and social aspects.  Matthew is just starting lessons, so we will see what happens

I survived!

So I made it through the sleepover, but not without some help.  Thank you to Outback Steak House for taking such good care of 8 kids and two adults.  We had a wonderful waitress who took such good care of us, and delivered me a Big Bloke beer to help me get through it all

Birthday time!

My oldest, Emma, turns 9 this weekend.  Tonight is her birthday party...and she wanted a sleepover.  I am not a huge fan of sleepovers.  Kids stay up too late and get tired and cranky
