Good News?!?

I just saw this news headline:

SMALL NUCLEAR WAR COULD REVERSE GLOBAL WARMING FOR YEARS

I guess some people always see the glass as being half full...

Storytime Friday

Emily was supposed to write about what might happen to you on a horrible day. The bolded sentences were provided for her.

A HORRIBLE DAY

When I woke up, I fell out of bed. Then Mom didn't have the kind of cereal I wanted. Mom yelled at me for being tired.

I could tell it was going to be a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.

At school, Mrs. Nichols moved everybody down to "Teachers Choice". We had silent lunch for the whole lunchtime. It was raining, so no recess.

I knew it was going to be a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. I think I'll move to

Ireland.
When I got home, I had to do 10 pages of homework. When I was done, Mom said no ocarana, no computer, no wii, no movies, no snack, and no homework passes.

It was a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.

Dinner: Disgusting Lasagna, Revolting Cream corn, and no dessert, at all. Dad yelled at me for spending too much time brushing my teeth, and Mom yelled at me for no good reason.

It was a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. I think I'll move to

Ireland.

Happy 8th Birthday, Emily!

Happy Birthday to my oldest who is turning 8 today!

This morning started off with blueberry pancakes and an early dismissal from school due to snow starting to fall. We currently have 5 inches of snow on the ground with more falling. We ate lunch at Wendy's at Emily's request. Tonight we are having one of her favorite meals of cheese fondue with all of the yummy food that goes with it. She asked for a chocolate cherry cake which I forgot to buy the stuff for last night so Andy is at the store now. I hope they are open...alot of places close for snow here.

She isn't having a party this year, but she has told us several times today that this is the best day ever! :)
