It doesn't look like we are going to make it to our dads. I have to work today and on Friday. What a bummer. I was hoping to be off on Friday but it looks like we are going to have several children at the center today and Friday. Oh well. life goes on. If not this weekend then maybe next weekend. I may go to moms this weekend. I haven't really dedided yet. I first have to get my room organized again from all the holiday gifts and thigs just laying around. That is my goal for tomorrow since I am going to be at home anyway.

It looks like we may have a few days of cooler weather. It was 79 on Christmas Day so we are all ready for some cooler weather. Not to cold.

There isn't a lot going on down in the south as things are starting to wind down form all the excitement from the holidays. Since I have taken so many days off in the last month I now have to work some hours to build up my personnel time again.

I am still going to look at the posibility of coming out to Oregan. I haven't checked flights in awhile so we will have to wait and see what the prices will be. I have been trying to get Christy, Chad and the boys to go on a cruise with me. I am going to do some checking on that also. I think the boys would have a really good time on the ship. That also depends on the price. It is all about money.

Well I better go it is time for me to get ready for work. Have a wonderful day and Happy New year to you. I will write again next year.

I guess I will srart over with this update. I was almost finished and my fingers hit a button that it shoud have not and I lost everything somewhereand of course I don't know what I did. So we will try again.

First I want to wish you all a Happy New year and I hope that you had a wonderful Christmas. Mine was good but I am glad it is over with for another year. Things just get rough around the holidays.

The grandkids had a wonderful time opening all there gifts. Jonathan got several transformers wi=hich he was excited about. Christopher was excited over everything but he liked the truck that he could take apart and put back together the most then all his potatoe heads. Benjamin could care less, he slept through most of it. Savannah got a lot of dolls and I got her a stroller to push them all in. Mason wanted trains so he got a train from me and a basketball goal. I couldn't tell how excited Jason's two kids were because Jason was taking them to the car almost as jast as they were opening them. He didn't want them to get mixed up with all the other toys.

Me and Alan have been talking about going and seeing our dad this week since we haven't senn him in several months. Our dad usually does a big cookout for New Year's Eve so we might go to it and spend a couple f hours. We haven't decided for sure. I might go and then go to my aunts house and spend the night and then head over to see my mom and take there Christmas to them.

After this week things will get back to normal and I have got to build up some more dyas off so that I can take some off at the end of summer, especially if I decide to fly to Oregan again. I haven't cheked prices lately becuae my computer has been down. I am hoping that I can get back on sometime this week or next. I don't like not haveing one to use at my convience.

Well, I am going to go for now as I have to hit the shower and get ready for a full day at work. Have a wonderful day and a Happy New Year.

I just wanted to wish you all a Merry Christmas and I will write more after the holidays.

It looks like we are going to be in the mid seventies on Christmas Day which will be good for the kids. They can get outside to play.

Dennis and Leann have a wonderful day on Christmas and enjoy the lights if you get to go see them.

I am off tomorrow and I don't know how I managed that but I will take it and then I only work half day on Friday and it will be in the office during the afternoon.

I will get back on and let you know how ours went after the holidays.

Good day to you all. I was going to say good morning but it may not be that time of day when you read this. I have had a busy weekend and it doesn't look like this week is going to be any different.

Our weather is a little cooler this morning. Well, I should have said a lot cooler because on Saturday it was almost eighty and today we will be in the fifities. It want last long. They say that it is going to be in the seventies on Christmas Day.

I am still on Alan's computer because Michael did not have time or should I say did not take the time to even think about my computer or anyone else in his family. He is on my list of not being happy with him. He got into town Friday night and they headed to the hotel which was fine. We had a birthday party for Jonathan on Saturday and instead of him getting out there early an spending time with us he decided to wait until 1:30 to show up for the party which started at 2:00. Everyone was there waiting to spend time with him and when I called him he acted like it was no big deal. Then by six he was rady to leave so that they could try out a new Mexican place and that was the end of our visit. He drove four hours and spent two nights in a hotel to spend less that five hours with his family. It really wasn't worth the trip. They are leaving Wednesday to go to Erin's parents and they will be there until Sunday. I guess we are not up to standards. We must be the hicks or the outcast from lower Alabama. I think the only reason that he even came down was because I pushed the isssue and to get his gifts. This is the first time that Erin has been her since they got married and I don't think that she is the one that doesn't like to come because she acted like she had a really good time. She played games withthe boys and I really think that Michael hates to share her with anyone. I want ask him to come next year. If he decides to come it will be on his own. Enough gripping.

So now back to the computer. Who knows when I will get it back to working right. We are going to start by taking the router back and seee if that will help. Alan will help me get it back going during the holidays. So updates probably want be as often.

We are all planning on going to Christy for Christmas. We will all meet out there around three for an early supper or a late lunch. Whatever you want to call it. After we eat we will then open presants. We did not dothat with Michael. We just opened the ones that he brought us and they opene the ones that we got them. I am glad we decided to wait on the ours until later. We will have a great time and enjoy each other.

Well I have rambled enough today. I need to get off her and get ready to head to work. What fun. Have a wonderful day.
