Family Night!

Tonight was Survivor night! All 5 of our kids gather around the living room and we watch together. We have done this for a LONG time now! They have even started pulling out the sleeper sofa and piling on there! During the final episode we even all place bets on the winner. To make it fair though, we put the names in a hat- and each kid puts a dollar in and draws a name! Well, every kids except Emily. She is WAY to tight with her money to bet it! It's so funny because every year she says, "No way! I'm not gonna lose MY money!"

We took out Saint Bernard, Yogi to get neutered. We had to drop him off yesterday evening and we got to pick him up this afternoon. We all missed him so much last night. It was weird not having a dog in the house. (Our older Saint Bernard died a few weeks ago) He was SO happy to see us when we picked him up. My daughter, Emmy, was able to go back to the kennels to get him. She started an internship at the vets office last summer, so they just let her go on back. Poor guy, has just laid around all evening and has even cried a little bit! So, I cooked him up some chicken to make him feel better! :) As I type this he is fast asleep and snoring very loudly!

I managed to study ALOT this week! I should be finished with theory by the end of the month and moving on to speed building. WHOOP! GO ME!

Internet Woes!

We have high speed internet. I think it's a satellite internet or something like that. I don't care WHAT it is, I just care HOW FAST it is. I can't stand waiting for pages to load. I can get up and go take a shower while waiting for a page to load lately! GRRR! We've tried calling- but we have had so much trouble, I think they are sick of hearing from us. Guess who is getting another call tomorrow? Yep!
I was thinking today (while waiting for a page to load) what in the world did I do before I had the internet. Of course. you don't miss something you never had- but I was hesitant to even get internet service! Good Gravy! I'm so glad I have it now. If I don't know the answer to something, Google is always happily waiting for me to type my phrase in that lovely bar up there! It keeps me connected to other adults too. I have 5 kids- and sometimes it's so nice to turn on the laptop and talk with other adults! I have made friends all over the world with this magical square shaped wonder machine!
