Beautiful Sunday

Now THIS is spring! I love this weather. It would be nice if the wind would calm down, but hey, I'm not complaining...

Had to go to Border's today and pick up a book for the twins. They are taking the AP Calculus test at Heights the first of May. If they pass the test, it counts as college credit. YIPPEE! Anyway, their teacher told them about this study guide that would be really helpful, so Corby and I ran out to Border's to get it since the twins both had to work today. We got the last copy. It was 19 bucks! Pretty cheap if it helps them pass a test that will give them college credit!

Spent the rest of the day getting some things done around the house - both inside and out! I also got Brandon's federal and state taxes done. Got the rest of our taxes done a few weeks ago, but he forgot to bring his W-2 from Dillon's when he was home for spring break, so I had to wait until he sent it to me. Thank goodness he's getting a little bit of money back this year. Believe it or not, he had to pay last year!

We are still reflecting in the glory of KU's win against North Carolina last night. I imagine the bars are gonna be hoppin' around here tomorrow night. I think we'll watch the game in the peace and quiet of our own home.

Kaitlin has decided to ask for less hours at work for the next 6 weeks. She's been pretty stressed with homework and tests, and since she works about 25 hours a week it's been hard for her to get all her homework done. She's one of those kids who needs her 8 or 9 hours of sleep at night! It wasn't that way when she was little. None of our kids slept in when they were young. They were up every day at 6 or 6:30am. Consequently, we never got to sleep in either. Now we all enjoy sleeping in until at least 8 or 9 on the weekends!

Today's music is Keith Urban's greatest hits. YUM!

What's Good

Here's what's good right now: 1. Corby's OKAY after an accident at work today! He was on the forklift pulling onto a truck when the truck driver pulled away from the dock apparently to reallign himself (WHAT AN IDIOT DRIVER!!!) and he fell off the dock. Thank goodness there is a roll-bar on those forklifts. He has a headache and will probably be stiff tomorrow, but says he is okay. They sent him for a drug test. It's their policy if someone has an accident at work. 2. Feeling much better. I'm about 75% well now. Still have a cough and some sinus issues, but I think I'll survive. 3. Spending today with Kaleb & Kaitlin. 4. Having such good kids. Leeker's just called Kaitlin to see if she'd work longer hours today. They have a lot of employees out sick. She was supposed to work 4-8, but volunteered to work 2-9. Here's a pat on the back hon! 5. Enjoying some Josh Groban music. 6. Cleaning out my file cabinet and getting ready for 2008. I know, I...
