Another lost tooth!

The Tooth fairy has come again! Kayla has lost ANOTHER tooth!! The crazy girl is now missing her two bottom teeth and she has a top front tooth lose! She asked me last night, "What happens if I lose all of my teeth? How will I eat anything?"

Our Recap

~ Our week of February 8th ~

This was the first week of back to a "normal" life after working a ton of hours the last two weeks because of snow! It was nice to try and get back to a normal schedule. Whatever that is! But it was a week of catch-up. There were so many things that needed to be done; meetings, Auction stuff, soccer, my PT appointment (very much needed!), Valentine parties at school, and the much hated...LAUNDRY! For those of you who know me well, you know I HATE DOING LAUNDRY! I'd love to pay someone to do it! I hate issues keeping up with it. But I made it through the week and enjoyed a peaceful weekend. The girls had a four day weekend. They were off Friday and Monday so they headed to the farm with my parents! :)

~ Our week of February 15th ~

This week started off with the DAYTON 500!! I enjoyed a day to myself watching the race with some yummy food and a few drinks. Then.....the head cold started! I sick and in bed almost all week. By Wednesday I was at least up and moving around but it was Friday before I was really feeling back to normal. So this week ended up being pretty quite because I didn't feel well. We made it to soccer Wednesday evening but other than that, I stayed in bed a lot. Our weekend was on and off. Nothing exciting but several things going on.

~ This Week ~

It's pretty busy! The calendar is really starting to fill up on a daily basis now. Today, my Aunt and Grace flew in. We surprised the girls when they came. They had no clue she was coming in and were very surprised when they came home from school! I have a ton of stuff going on this week and right now am thinking I need to find some sanity to make it through the week. Courtney's book report is due this week too! She has to dress up like Daniel Boone! Still gotta find a jacket for her to wear. What girl picks Daniel Boone to do a biography on???? Only Courtney! :)

Until next time, Have a Great Week!

Hoosiers.....what???

Taxpayers will receive an Economic Stimulus Payment. This is a very exciting new program that I will explain using the Q and A format:

Q. What is an Economic Stimulus Payment?
A. It is money that the federal government will send to taxpayers.

Q. Where will the government get this money?
A. From taxpayers.

Q. So the government is giving me back my own money?
A. Only a smidgen of it.

Q. What is the purpose of this payment?
A. The plan is that you will use the money to purchase a high-definition TV set, thus stimulating the economy.

Q. But isn't that stimulating the economy of China?
A. Shut up. Let’s not go there right now!

Below is some helpful advice on how to best help the US economy by spending your stimulus check wisely, think carefully before spending your money:

If you spend that money at Wal-Mart, all the money will go to China.
If you spend it on gasoline it will go to the Arabs.
If you purchase a computer it will go to India.
If you purchase fruit and vegetables it will go to Mexico, Honduras, and Guatemala (unless you buy organic).
If you buy a car it will go to Japan.
If you purchase useless crap it will go to Taiwan.

And none of it will help the American economy. We need to keep that money here in America.

You can keep the money in America by spending it at yard sales, going to a baseball game or NASCAR event, or spend it on prostitutes, beer (AB products are the best choice), or tattoos, since those are the only MADE IN AMERICA businesses still left in the US to support.

Thank GOD for all the white trash Hoosiers of America who are proud of the items they support listed above!
