Actors Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore and US Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano laugh at Obummer’s monologue at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner in Washington, May 9th, 2009.
Sorry this was a day late —— but better late than never.
Mothers Day

I have no idea what was wrong with the site or even when they repaired it, but I am glad to be back online. All I know is that some time yesterday in the late morning I checked it and it was working. I’m even a bit surprised I didn’t have to wait until today for it to come back on so I won’t get too sarcastic about it all. I know the Mothers Day video is belated but I decided it was better to put it up today rather than wait until next year —— I would probably forget to do it by then. I would also probably have put together some more content as I usually the day before but my “day before” was abbreviated because of the crash (and I had to mow the grass before the monsoons resumed)

Tracey and I don’t usually get each other anything for the Hallmark Holidays but I broke down and ordered a #Kindle for Tracey. It should be here Wednesday. She was doing research on the Interwebs while we were deciding whether or not to get one for my brother Alan —— and she got hooked on the idea herself. Fortunately we have good credit so I decided to use it. You only live once and then only for a short time. I will get to use it from time to time when she is at work, etc. I think she will probably spend more time with it than I will though.

Tracey left for work about ten minutes ago. She hasn’t had to get out of bed this early in a long time and she got almost no sleep. She didn’t get to bed until after 10:00 last night and she was up pounding on Aaron’s door at 2 a.m. to shut him up. We can’t seem to get our children to understand that it is just twisted AND wrong to be screaming at a computer game in the first place and especially not at 2 a.m. on a school night. I foresee a nap in Tracey’s future for this afternoon —— provided she can get home before the boys get home from school.

Tracey and I could of had a “party” at 2 a.m. I was up then too, but I was checking to see if Andy was in bed instead of still doing his RESEARCH paper. Ever heard of starting AND finishing a research paper on Sunday when it’s due on Monday?! When will that kid ever learn?! (p.s. The yelling at video games is one of my pet peeves!)

Oh Yes! Procrastination! My kids come by it naturally though as both Tracey and I are very good at preparing to commence to get ready to think about doing something we can usually put off until tomorrow.

I’ve started and finished a research paper due on Monday on Monday morning before. Does that count as procrastination?

Noah! Don’t encourage your brothers! Oh Well —— I guess you turned out all right —— didn’t you? Putting things off to the last minute is only bad if you FAIL! Right?
MjL 11 May 2009, 2:29 p.m.
Noah...Andy finished his paper this morning for his class that was at 11:00! I would of been a nervous wreck!
Now...here we go again...he has a paper due tomorrow at 9:30 and he hasn’t started yet!
I sure hope he outgrows his procrastination skills soon! If he doesn’t, I’ll definitely be gray soon!
