Start Saving for Snow Tires.

I've driven the 400 for 3 years now on All Season Tires, that's about to change.

The Weekend to End Breast Cancer.

It's a big weekend to put an end to a big deal.  Here's some information for you...

The Weekend!

The

Thursday-Friday

It's that day today.  The one day of the year that I love...and hate.  The one day I embrace...and reject.  The one day I celebrate, and....um... not celebrate.  Dang.  What is the opposite of celebrate?  Man I was on such a roll.  Anyhow.  Today...is the start of the office NFL pool.  Yay! Boo.  Wish me luck. 

Wednesday-Thursday

I have a problem.  My wife wants to go back to school shopping.  For a child who isn't even in school yet.  Not even close.  Kayla's 2.  Sigh.  I guess that's the power of the Flyer.  The Sale.  The Good Buy.  It's got my lovely wife in its clutches!  And won't let go!  Oh my.  Where did I put that Visa card...?

Tuesday-Wednesday

Okay.  I understand why that mosquito bit me; it's what they do.  It's nature.  But did he/she have to bite me there?  Right in-between the shoulder blades?  The impossible-to-reach place?  Sigh.  I should have taken John Tesh's advice:  apparently if you set up a fan, it will basically blow the mosquitoes away and keep you bite-free.  Oh well.  The only blemish on an otherwise perfect long weekend is the one in the middle of my back.   That I just can't quite reach.  Argh!

It's Back to School!

Here's some ideas for you as the little ones head back for another year. 

The night before...

Designate a place in the house for school stuff (paperwork).

Go over after school plans

Pick out some clothes for the first day.

Spend "tuck in time" talking about school.

Pack a lunch so it's ready in the morning.

The Morning of...

Encourage your child to start getting their own routine together solo.

Reminder of after school plans.

Take your child to the bus stop or school.
