March Weekend
We had a busy weekend. Stuart got back from Omaha on Friday Night. Saturday morning Stuart went for a three mile run and then we headed off to Pigeon Forge. My friend Sheri and her husband were camping. They have a new camper with two bedrooms. It was so cool it looked like a mini house equipped with a flat screen T.V. and bunk beds. I got to see the twins for the first time and now they are turning 6 months old. We had a great day and then we drove back home to check on Jacob. Then I had to work at the hospital the next day. I have to get up at 4:30am! I worked on the Peds floor. John only managed to get three major boo boos this weekend and Ashley fell in the icy water with her clothes on. Sunday afternoon, Stuart made a large leave pile in the backyard. They kids ran and jumped like it was a big swimming pool of leaves. Mojo watched and waited to be untied. Then he jumped in just like the kids.... he was waiting for his turn.

March 16, 2009 Jacob is 15
I remember Jacobs 2nd Birthday. I was a new Mom and wanted to make his cake. I made a fish cake, fish decorations, goldfish, and had a neighborhood party for him. It was great!
We took Jacob to the Mall on his 15th Birthday to look around for some needed clothes. All the kids fought all the way to West Knoxville. I think I jumped out of the car before it stopped just so the noise would stop. We found Jacob two shirts and some cool checkered shorts. We drove around for thirty minutes for Jacob to decide on a restaurant. We finally decided to go to a Japanese Buffet. I wanted to go anywhere but there but it was Jacob's night. When we were all seated Ashley started to shiver she had been sick all weekend with a temperature. Nobody ate and the food almost seemed room temp. I was grossed out so the waitress brought our bill and it was $90.000 and Stuart's mouth dropped open. We all had water and no dessert. It was about $20.00 per person and it was the worst meal we had had in a long time. Then the kids fought all the way home!
The next morning I got Jacob chocolate cover donuts with icing in the middle and a cookie cake. He was as happy as could be for a birthday morning. I also picked him up two car sales newspaper books.
Stuart had to pack up for Omaha and he left 5am Monday morning. When he called me on Monday night I said " so, what did you have for dinner?" He said you will never guess..... Chinese food again! Now I am home alone again with the kids. Ashley is still running a temp and John put a big dent in his head. On happier note, I love this time a year when I can pack up the heavy coats and watch the trees bud. The kids love playing outside.

Generation X
People born between 1961-1976 is the generation that I fall under. We are the generation that is comfortable with technology, need flexibility, are visionary people, but lack loyalty to companies. When I graduate from college in 1991, I can remember my parents talking about the stock market crashing and companies downsizing. People where laid off in the early 90's especially those getting ready to retire with big pensions. But what Americans are going through today is different. Not only are we seeing layoffs, housing markets at an all time low, food prices going through the roof, politicians not united to do good for America, and air of just negativity. We do not have any big wow factor on the horizon like the Internet.... what will pull Americans together to work hard at improving our country? Hopefully, I can be apart of it
the
wow.....

The Family Icon
Here on the back of my car I have family stickers. Stuart laughed and said you must be very proud of us to display them so high up on the windshield.
