Friday...January 2, 2009

Wow! Once you have to start writing the date, it starts to sink in that we are out of 2008 and into 2009. Hopefully this year will be a lot better for our family.

Anyway, yesterday for lunch I made polish sausage and sauerkraut which is something that mom and I love and Tom and Kristi hate. The jury was out on Alayna, but now I think she is going to Tom's side. I started lunch while Alayna was laying down for her early morning nap. When she came downstairs she said very loudly "Grandma, I smell something and it smells bad." Tom piped up and said "See, I am not the only one who thinks that stuff stinks!" I tried to get Alayna to eat some at lunch, but she wouldn't do it. I am sure if she would try it she would like sauerkraut. Last night we made homemade pizzas and I think this is the first time that I had "TOO MUCH" cheese on my pizza. I had a hard time eating it and I love a lot of cheese.

I got the scrapbook album caught up for Larry's family yesterday. I didn't' realize that I had so many completed pages for his family. There was Brayden's 1st and 2nd birthday parties, Beth's graduation, Scott graduation, and the BBQ at Arrow Rock right after Larry and Gail bought their camper. I only had to compete a few more pages and he is caught up for now. Time to get the camera back out for the arrival of the new baby in February/March. Beth, I sill like the name Roscoe Jorge Eiman if you are interested!!!

I got one of my reports done yesterday that I have to have completed before Monday. I have 2 more to do and one of them is going to be time consuming. I really need to get started on this. I can't believe that it is almost time for me to go back to work. At least in 2009 we will save some money on gas since Tom and I get to ride together everyday. They changed my hours to always work the same time as Tom instead of different hours each week. This will be nice - my own chauffeur everyday. Of course, the first few weeks are going to be terrible with all the changes that they have done at work to try to eliminate laying off anyone. I will need another vacation at the end of next week I am sure. Maybe it is time to go back to Denver for a long week-end.
