Double Monday Post

I uploaded the Super Bowl pictures yesterday so I could "save my spot" and then write today - but I guess unless you publish your post when you edit it re-posts with the new date and time.  Lesson learned!

So - two posts for today.

We got up great.  Out of the house on our way to Ocee carpool by 7:10 a.m. and I actually made it to work by 8:00 a.m.  Still annoyed with the selfishness of the doctors right now - I need to get over that little issue.

Left by 4:30 and got both boys by 5:00 p.m.

Matthew and Layne had basketball practice tonight and got home about 6:15 p.m.

All of us are stopped up and feeling the change in weather.  Layne and Jacob and I with headaches today.  Joshua and Matthew with stuffy noses.  Joshua is not wanting to eat food and drinking a ton and so stuffy.  He is quite cranky and not himself.

Jacob and Joshua start swim lessons tomorrow.  Actually I should say that Jacob starts swim lessons again that Joshua starts them tomorrow.  Joshua is very excited to be taking "his own swim lessons".


I have definitely become a transplanted Southerner - it is February 7 and I can't wait for Spring.

Superbowl Sunday

Well - we splurged.  It has been about 9 years in coming - but the Atlanta Ganote Family has finally joined the HD / Flatscreen Age of TV.   Matthew had me worrying and apologizing for getting a raise last year (heaven forbid!) that we would now be in a higher tax bracket and not get any refund back.  He was worrying about it so much that he went this past Saturday to the accountant to get our taxes completed.  Well - lucky for us - we got even more back than last year!  It was Matthew's turn to do something for himself for a change.  He is pretty selfless when it comes to his family.

The kids think this was all for them - but whatever!  We can use that when we remind them of all we do.

So just in time for the Super Bowl TV deals on Saturday Matthew and the boys went to Best Buy and got us a REAL television.

Then Sunday Matthew and the boys went to Ikea to get a table for the TV.

Then Matthew and all 3 helpers put the table together.

We were ready to go by Half Time - whoo hooo!!!!!!

They were mesmerized - and then it was bedtime.

 

 A good day for all!

1 and 1

Well at least one of our teams won.  Layne's team was beautifully coached to their second win, but out cats lost their second in a row.

It was a good day overall, Josh is having trouble listening to his mom and dad, we need to work on that.

Work at Home Day

Just couldn't go in again today and deal with it again.  Even though I got paged, and called, and emailed about the same doctor and more issues today - it was still better to not be there with all the angst.

It was a dreary, rainy day in the northern Atlanta suburbs today.

Sounds like the kids had a good day.

Joshua took Diego toys to school today for Show-n-Tell.  Tonight is playing police withe the "handcups" and he is putting telling dad that he is "under arrested".  Now he just put the handcups on himself and is in jail (actually the laundry basket).  Why did we buy all those toys from the Lego store?????  The prisoner in the background looks like he's asleep.

Rough Day At Work

Jennifer had a rough day at work.  Some Doctors need to care about patients first and the paycheck second.

Lots of work

Very overwhelmed at work today.  The patient's needs were pretty overwhelming.  All I can say is I did my best until 9:00 p.m. and then had to call it a day.

Interesting how many patients are not able to get their mail order prescriptions because of the snow storm.  You just never know how you are going to be effected.

Matthew took the kids to Wendy's for dinner and then to church so that Jacob and Layne could go to Clue's Crew and Joshua to choir.

Sounds like it went okay.

It was chilly here today - but very sunny and I definitely felt better with the rain being gone.  Good to here that Punxatawny Phil thinks Spring is only 6 weeks away.  Can't wait!


I am a horrible Aunt Jennifer - I didn't call my niece Marisa on her birthday.  Happy "official" Birthday Marisa!

Dreary Day

Cold and rainy, just makes for a miserable day.  Took Jennifer forever to get home from work.  I picked up the kids and made some spaghetti.  It must have been decent, they all ate it.  Not much else to report.
