Back on Schedule

Ariel got up and off to school without too much fuss. I feel sorry for her since she has to be at the bus stop by quarter to seven so she gets up about 5:30 to be ready by then. Caroline got up on her own about 7:15 and was ready to go on time to the bus.

So now I have to sit down and sort out the projects I have to do this week and the next. I need to get out the family calendar and start filling in some of the dates we have things to do on. But I also need pick up my living room from the two weeks of the children being home. At least my laundry is done for the moment.

OK Football. Short version, only one team I wanted to get through got through to the next set of play offs. So it is the Ravens vs. the Titans, the Chargers vs. the Steelers, the Eagles vs. the Giants, and the Panthers vs. the Cardinals. I don't think that the Titans are invincible but it is more going to depend on the Ravens doing things right than the Titans doing things wrong. I think the Steelers are going to hand the Chargers their heads. The Chargers are good but I think the Steelers offence is going to hit them hard. Giants better bring their A-game to their rival the Eagles. This is the game that is going to cause the most shouting in the North-east. If the Giants slack off for a minute, the Eagles are going to win. Panthers have been playing very well and the Cardinals got pretty banged up against the Falcons so I think the Panthers in a squeaker.

Yesterday Caroline and I had a Mommy/daughter day. We went to an indoor playground that she loves and played around in for over 2 1/2 hours. We went to lunch at McDonalds and watched the Ravens/Dolphins game together while we ate. I answered some of her questions as to what was going on. We then went to our local library and returned our books and then got out more books to read. She ended the day by curling up in her father's lap and falling asleep with a content look on her face.

Off now to work on my new years resolutions and get my living room back in order.

I am grateful that Caroline and I had so much fun yesterday. I treasure our time together.

Your icon makes me smile. He has got to be some oddball cousin of Schnuffel Bunny due to his disgusting levels of cute :)

He was the bunny in the Pixar Short PResto which was in front of Wall-E and one of the FUNNIEST animated things I have seen in a long time. I soooo want a stuffed Alecazam

Oh, poor Ariel. I sympathize with her schedule-- I had to do the same 5:30am wake up to catch the bus at 6:45 for 5 years of junior high/high school. Ugh! (My senior year my parents bought me a car-- I hadn't wanted one, but the freedom to leave the house an hour later? Made me a happy, happy driver.)
