As always I am the last to know what is the latest when it comes to computers and keeping up to date . Usually my son keeps me informed but I guess he is too cool for that. Remember thinking that bout your parents? ha ha. Well I am finally on facebook so will have to keep up with more than one site now geez. This is getting wierd now , don't get me wrong , it's fun but kinda a pain ya know? Oh well 4 weeks to Disneyworld YEAH !!!!!! The countdown begins and I can't wait. This is the best time of the year , and this one will be a little special cuz Adam will be graduating next year so we will not be going. Oh well time to get back to life . More pics and updates to follow.

Finally one AWESOME DAY !!!! To do what?? Well lets see. Adam actually woke early to help me take down christmas decor that has been lingering in our front yard since before Thanksgivin lol.Of course he had to if he wanted out for the day.Then off came the roof lights. Sadly some won't be returning next year as the below freezing temps have ruined most of the color off of them. OK lets see, Death loomedover the house last week as everyone starting with Mackenzie got sick, some more than others, and some thought more than others that the end was near lol. But now that we have a great day today with 50 plus temps we can open windows and send them germs packing..... That's bout it for now more to come later.

Getting Caught up

Ok so here we are finnaly getting some realistic weather back... It's been way too cold for me or any other human for that matter. So here's the latest in the Bennecke home. Kids finally back to school after a five day crazy no school week. Cabin fever is an understatement for what we were experiencing here. Thank goodness my work is close enough that it didn't stop me from going.. ha ha Everyone else is doing good healthy, and have I mentioned BACK TO SCHOOL !!!!! The swearing in is also over so we can finally turn the tv on and not see that on every channel. Don't get me wrong I know its a big deal and all but really , did it have to be on EVERY channel, three times a day for what seemed like an eternity? Other than that its the same ol here and we are all just waiting for the spring thaw so I may finally remove the outside xmas decor that has seemed to freeze itself in the yard and on the roof. Yes that is right , while my smarter than I neighbors were removing theirs, I thought how silly they were because it was a little cold outside. Now who looks silly while valentines day decor adorns their doors and windows and across the street is the house that looks lost in time with reindeer, the drummer man, lights and the poor plastic ornaments hanging from the tree in the front yard. Well I guess I have rambled enough to catch you up on the latest here. Some pictures are here for you to see of the kids once it was warm enough to snow yet again and they could go out ond enjoy it.

BASEBALL

Actually it can be any sport for which I am referring but anyway. Tis the current season and the White Sox are nearing the end. I know I probably just jinxed the game but the Bennecke men are in attendance tonight, last night too. I am exited for the team (and yes Rachelle the moods were felt here too ) which add on to your blog of how the smallest thing will affect our daily mood. There really is no point to my post today only to take up some free time I had to communicate. More pics will soon follow.

Getting Old

2008-09-22T08:22:00.000-07:00

OK
a little reality check for me . Last Saturday was Homecoming for Adam,simple enough right I have been thru 2 so far and nothing phases me. Something different this time, no it wasnt the girl, Adam and Karli went together , but looking at pics I took I realized my son wasn't my (son) any more . He was a young man.. as you will see in the pics to follow soon.It's not getting old that's an issue, actually there's not an issue at all . I just feel like any other parent ( I think) when they realize their first born is grown up and is soon going to fly the coop, break out of jail, flee , or whatever he wants to call it. Just sad , that's the only emotion word I can stir up , sad. Not depressed or alone or anything deep really . I just had a momemt of saddness. Now the other two are driving us crazy so that moment has long passed. But that is all for now the pictures ill be up soon for you to see my little man ( may he never see I wrote that ) tee hee.

No Time

2008-09-16T06:45:00.000-07:00

Why is it you seem to have time and find nothing to do yet the moment you don't have time somehow there is too much to do?? Someone please explain this to me.I'm just going to babble for a moment to vent bout work, life and stuff. Work was bad last night for reasons explained above. I am sure we all have had that kind of day weather it's at home or work or at the grocery store for that matter. I am okay with it most of the time just lately ( maybe it's the weather) but I am feeling edgy and feel like i'm running out of time all the time. I have plenty of time when I sit and think about it but in those moments that I have time( and by time I really mean peace and quiet) I tend to just sit in the quiet. Then theres this overwhelming rush to get things done before I run out of time,to do what I don't know. Whatever, like I said I was just venting although right now I am talking to myself because no one knows I am here lol.

Rain Rain Go Away

Come again never is what I say. Good afternoon , This is day oe of this blog. I have been reading others and it finally occured to me to make one of my own. I am currently a user of myspace but I realize (as my teenage son points out) it is sooo yesterday. I don't care I will do both now. But to keep people who arent on myspace to keep in touch with me I will be here also. So there it is in a nutshell. This is only day one and I will be filling in the blanks as well as adding pics for you to see.
