School

School is two hours late today. This seems completely ridiculous to me since there is barely any snow on the ground. Summer is going to suck with all the makeup days we will have to do!

Ill

Well I've been sick now for over a week and it's really getting old. My cough medicine seems to wear off at about 5am and I wake up coughing and hagging and can't go back to sleep. Blah! :(

Movin Out

Brent and I went and saw "Movin Out" on Wednesday night. I am a big Billy Joel fan and have always loved his music. The show was so much fun and the dancers were brilliant. I was really taken with the second lead female. She was so graceful and light on her feet. It was quite an amazing performance! Watch clip on YouTube:

Peking Acrobats

We took the kids to see The Peking Acrobats at the Pantages over the weekend. It was a great show! The stunts were absolutely amazing. Watch clip from YouTube:

Flooding, Road closures, Evacuations, and Car accidents

Well, as of my last post I thought 2009 was going to be a bit mellow. Um...not so much! We had record rainfall and I-5 as well as all the mountain passes were closed due to flooding and avalanches. So basically if you lived in Western Washington you were trapped in a box. Also locally 410 was closed as well as 161. Some 20,000 + people had to be evacuated from Orting! I would never live in Orting...that place is just a disaster waiting to happen. On top of all that I was in an accident driving my Mom's car. What is worse then being in a car accident? Being in one in your parent's car! I felt horrible. :( It wasn't my fault, thankfully. I was at the post office and had backed out and out of the blue some crazy guy just backs up and smashes right into me! He felt really bad and said he just didn't see me. His insurance has been really easy to deal with and I wasn't injured, so that's good. So, I guess this year is starting off to be just as crazy as the rest. Cheers!

First Day of 2009

Slept in. It's very quiet in the house. The kids are still asleep because the fireworks kept them up last night. Brent is still at work. Hope 2009 will be much more mellow then 2008. Looks like we're off to a good start. :)
