Uppy-Downy Week

UP: We're trying to teach Jack words, numbers, animals etc. but he's too busy destroying the house. This morning I went into his bedroom and said my usual "good morning" and he said "good morning" back.

DOWN: My resolution to live a healthier life would be so much easier if wine was an illegal substance.

UP: My other resolution, to recycle, is going marvelously! Instead of humping a huge trash can to the sidewalk each week, I only 1/4 fill it. And I've started to recycle at work. My only sin? Diapers/nappies. Please don't leave a comment about it as I know it's bad and I hate doing it but there's no way I'm dealing with soiled cloth nappies. I'm just not.

DOWN: Footprints in the snow today from the parking lot near our house, across our plants, into our garden and to our AC unit that sits between 2 windows. Were they "casing the joint" to see if they could stand on the AC unit and get through a window? Were they seeing if the AC was worth stealing for scrap? Was it some electric guy checking out the meter?

UP: Craig got home from the supermarket tonight & said "I've bought lamb and a bottle of Chianti Classico because I know it's your favourite dinner".

DOWN: I've been traveling too much this past week. I love my job but hate being away from Craig & Jack and it gets worse as Jack's interacting with me more. As much as I love it when he gets excited when I get home, I love it more spending time with him and I miss them both madly. I could never be a travelling salesman or astronaut!

UP: Laurinaitis, Robiski, & Jenkins are staying another year! Laurinaitus would have got picked up by the NFL and been a millionaire by the autumn, but bless him, he's staying with us to try and get it done. I love my Buckeyes.

DOWN: The weather sucks. On Monday we'll have a low temp of 6 F (- 14 C)

UP: E-mails and phone calls from family and friends, no one is sick, everyone's okay. Life is good.
