Ligths On

Can I just say how thankful I am for electricity!! You never know how much you love something until it is gone. So I know that everyone else lost their electricity too and it made me start counting my blessing and realizing how unprepared I was for a huge power outage. Thank goodness for the help Autumn. She was one of those fortunate people that only lost their power for less than twelve hours. She was kind enough to lend me coolers to bring my food over and store it in their extra frig. What a wonderful blessing. Then each day she welcomed me into her home so I could eat lunch and do laundry. She is a lifesaver to say the least. So with the power outage it made me start counting my blessings and here I go:
*I am thankful that I only lost electricity and not my entire house like the people in Texas.
*I am thankful for gas hot water heaters, at least I got to take a hot shower.
* I am thankful for what little light candles give off, I never realized I was afraid of the dark until now.
* I was grateful to see the kind acts of others. That being, people in my neighborhood reaching out to help the elderly and helping cleaning up huge limbs and trees.
* I am thankful for dishwashers
* I am thankful for garbage disposals
* I am very thankful for cell phones. It was my life line this week.
* I am thankful that it was a very cool week.
* I am thankful for all of the other electrical people that left their families, to come help us out.

Anyway, I would have to say this was the longest I have ever went with out electricity. I thought the ice storm was bad, I do believe we went longer without electricity this time around.

Sounding Off

Okay, so I have already turned the TV off and have stopped watching the game. All I have to say is what the heck!!! Okay, did anyone else see how much better the offense looked with Pryor in the game? Stupid, Stupid Mistakes again!!! I understand that Beockman is a senior but come on what is going to help us win this game or even make it a little close. Tressel did the same thing with the Texas game three years ago when we lost. In a way I am quite relieved, now the pressure is off of us. However, I hate that everyone in the country was right that we were "over rated". One thing that I do hate is how hard critics are on the Buckeyes. Do they forget that those are just young men out there playing their hearts out. Oh, and don't even get me stared of Kirk Herbstriet. Did he forget where he came from? I wish I could send him some non-fan mail that would get to him. Anyway, with this all being said, I still love my BUCKEYES and always will. Hey at least Michigan lost today too. That makes the day a little brighter. We can always hope for the Rose Bowl. Lets just hope, its not against USC again. I think they are my second most hated team, right behind Michigan. Anyway, O-H-I-O.

bonnie's GIVEAway

My friend Bonnie is having a giveaway. Check out her blogspot and see what it is. You can reach her blog through my site. HURRY!!!! before time runs out. Keep in mind she is one cool lady and she gives out fun stuff.

Go to your Spot

Those are the words we use with Baxter, when we want him to use the potty in his own area. (Thanks Katie for the idea) Anyway, yesterday during the football game little Ross told me to tell him "to go to his spot" So, I played along with it, he has quite the imagination. So, when I went outside after him, he was dropping his pants to pee in his spot. All, I saw was this cute little tush in the air. Yes, he was on all fours peeing like Baxter. Trying my hardest not to burst out in laughter I got him to pull his pants up and told him that we use the toilet.

OH CRAP!!!!

Oh Crap, seems to be the phrase spoken around my house here lately. For some reason my son finds humor in saying the phrase. For instance, yesterday he spilt water and said "OH, Crap" and then let out a long sigh. He also peed on the toilet and said it. I have no idea were he got it from, my mom however told me that I say it. I do? OH, Crap!
