What a Day

It's snowing and I hate that.  Especially when it's COLD and snowing.  Which it is.  Boo.

I sat on the stairs today while the boys were getting off to school, and when I stood up, my lower back was completely out.  It took me five minutes to stand up, and it still hurts.  I can't even hardly step on my left foot without pain shooting up my spine.

I tried to practice my Symphony music, and this is what happened:
Matthew made himself chicken nuggets, complete with ranch, ketchup, and bbq sauce.
He got out the Costco 5 lb. block of cheese with a knife and tried to cut himself a slice.
He put half a bottle of nano wax into his hair, plugged up the sink, and broke the mouse on the computer.
He did this in my first 5 minutes of practice.
Now he's in the bathtub, where at least he's contained.

So much for being productive today.

I still haven't prepared the awesome FHE lesson I had ready in my head.  Looks like we're winging it again.

It's 4:32 PM and dinner hasn't even started to prepare itself.  Where's the maid?  Oh, right.  We don't have one.  Except for me, and I'm crippled today, which = sandwiches for dinner.

But here's the good news:
Jill had her baby boy yesterday, and he's a major cutie!  Isaac Stanley was born on Jerry's birthday, February 6.  Can't wait to meet him!  Hopefully soon, so I can get some good newborn pictures of him.

It's still snowing.

Yesterday, we went over to G&G J&J's house for a birthday celebration.  Joey was ecstatic to get his new Wii (it's red!), and a new DS game.  We made a cherry cheesecake, GJ's favorite, and gave him some homemade cards and a gift certificate to City Brew.

Here's the birthday boys, who turned 6 & 60:
