Friday night in the shoe.

We went to Wal-Mart tonight to get Gus ready for a scout hike with his new troop tomorrow.  Got home and found out the hike was cancelled due to weather! So sick of this weather, ready for Spring.  It is only 9:00 PM and all the kids are in bed.  Weird feeling to have time to myself.  Decided to probably not take mom's house after all.  It feels right to say no to this one.  It's not the house I grew up in, but it reminds me of her.  Her stuff is still ours, so that's going to be fun merging it all together.  I do like that house, but it's not our forever house, and the next time we move, it will be to one that is a step up, not a horizontal move to a no better neighborhood.  The neighbor lady is super nice, really the only positive.  If the house were somewhere else maybe but as it is right now, it's not a step up, so it's hard to say no, and kind of scary to face all that work.

Some skating feet I found on line.

Good news, got a place to practice skating at school in the Gym.  It's kind of nice to have something so quirky and out of left field that everyone can't help but stop and notice! My friends that I teach with all want to come see me bout, hope I don't fall on my face!

One sentence per day is hard...

Just to remember to blog is a hard thing to do.  Having a picture that is cute to post, hard too.  Priceless though, that I can go back and look at my year and pretty much see whatever we were going through, or what was happening from my few sentences a month.  So, one sentence per day is my goal.  I don't promote my blog yet, because I really don't want to share, its just my archive and way of recording our lives in the Shoe.

He wants to wear moms knee pads.

Teddy thinks my derby pads are running gear! He wants run like his hero Caillou. We've seen every episode of Caillou, the PBS Canadian 4 year old. Just realized my husband is in the background in his natural habitat... Asleep on the couch! 

Help!

She passed away on Sunday, February 2, 2014 about 1pm.  Cherrie called me and we cried.  Dad went into fix it mode, of course.  He's coming in a week or so to help organize house.  I lost the will.  Couldn't find the envelope Cherrie sent me.  I asked mom's spirit for help to find it, desperate!  I came in from outside and I smelled her.  I took everything out of the cabinet for the 5th time, and reached in the back of the file cabinet and reached way in the back and it was there!  Fallen into the back!  She helped me find it, I knew she would!  

Teddy's smile!
