Not Quite Chocolate Ice Cream.....

Water in the basement....along with a few other floating items. We have had problems in the past...Old House...Big tree...and Plumbing aren't all friends. Since we've had problems in the past we were able to quickly remedy the situation, in the process I found a PLASTIC ICE CREAM CONE. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think that is where it was suppose to "put away."



WELCOME HOME... NOW CLEAN UP A POOPIE BASEMENT! Oh, by the way the child responsible quickly ran to MY chair and gave himself a "time out"....only after blaming Joseph.

Read This...You Might Need It!

I was just reading something this morning and this quote keeps running through my head so I thought that I might just share it with you. It makes sense, but why?

"In fact, the only thing more absurd than the gift is our stubborn unwillingness to receive it"
Max Lucado

Why is is soo hard for us to imagine that God loves us so much that he sent his son in human form for us?

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!

Hope you are all enjoying such a wonderful day. I hope that you are all able to raise your glass and toast Ireland today.
I just want to remind of the two kinds of people in this world...
The Irish...and those Who WANT To Be!

Go Sabres!

I think my boss is trying to make a Bill's Fan or a Sabres' fan for all you hockey fans out there. I'm back out of town and will be here in North Buffalo for the next 30 days.

I thought I was taking a VACATION!

Most of you will be following the next few posts on Jesse's Blog. So I must begin by saying that I will be returning to work to recuperate from the full time job of parenting. I must also state that whom ever said that boys are easy must have only had a teen aged children and skipped right over the toddler years. Wow!!!, can they move fast when they want something and I think that they are able to grow additional arms, legs, hands, and feet while throwing tantrums or while walking through a store or gift shop.

A "Stay at Home Mom" is a full time career... it's "job" description/requirements should go something like this:

Negotiating Skills Needed!
Time Management and Organizational Skills NEEDED!
Patience is a much needed virtue.
Must Be "On Call" 24/7...NO EXCEPTIONS!
Vacations... Not eligible for the first 12-15 yrs.
Sick Time... Are you kidding?
Pay... __________________________________
Room and Boarding Included.
Cooking Skills a Plus!

It's funny how simple things like a vacation and "family time" can REALLY make you appreciate your wife...I have always said "She is worth far more than I could ever pay", but even I didn't really understand until I "had" to "help" take care of our children 24/7 without going to work for a break!
