Good morning. Today is Tuesday, March 11 and this is the news from Sprinkleshouse.
First off, we have the weather. As you may or may not know, it did snow over the weekend. Accumulations reached approximately one kazillioneth of an inch and by the time the sun came up the snow was gone. This did not however stop my husband from taking pictures of our kids outside making the required one snowball. Yes, the snowballs were only the size of marbles but that's beside the point. The snow was there and they were in it. This week we return to rain and heat. Sunny early becoming darker later.
In local news, Lukas and Jakob got haircuts yesterday and survived without so much as one tear. Of course, they held my hand the entire time and so I am typing with one hand today as the other one is still waiting on the circulation to return to it.
On the political scene, my 14 year old Josh has recently re-discovered that our house is not a democracy. It is at best a benevolent dictatorship, a Sprinkleocracy if you will. This news was met with howls of protest, which will probably continue for the next 4 years. We'll keep you updated.
On to sports: our daily cat-dog Wrestlemania event was held promptly at midnight. The cats made the most noise but the dogs look like they got the short end of the stick as they will go nowhere near the cats today. Rematch is scheduled for midnight tonight while everyone is trying to sleep. Get your tickets at the door, which we will be kicking the dogs and cats out of.
In economic news, we are still broke. So I guess that's not really news is it? Oh, well.
In other news, Sprinkle has a therapy appointment this afternoon, and while she is anticipating a pleasant outcome, it has yet to be determined if her husband will be on time to drop her off. Stay tuned.
And in the "old news is still good news category": God still loves me, I still love Him and today always has a chance to be better than yesterday.
And so we leave you with these burning questions: will Sprinkle clean her house or cook dinner today? Will Josh do one chore without rolling his eyes or complaining? Will Lukas and Jakob scratch the cats or will the cats scratch them? Will Grover lose more hair? Will Sprinkle lose more patience?
We'll keep you informed, whether you want to be or not.:)
Peace allllllllllll

I'm not betting on the teen...too much of a long shot. My money is on you losing patience!
Be strong Sprinkle. Rule with an iron but incredibly soft fist! Ha!
I find that the more hair CCB loses on his head the more he gets everywhere else!
I love the way you write your posts!
I just can't wait for teenagers. That is sarcasm. If they are anything like I was - boy am i in for it.
Our oldest grandson Joey is now
18. He has been a life saver for the younger boys. Poor Joey
re-introduced these old grandparents to the terrible 10s and then the fearful 14s. We were reminded by him that this too shall pass and a fine young man will emerge from nasty, demanding teenagers. Josh will make you proud too:-)
oh too funny! I love your tone of voice in this one!
We took a pic of the "snow" at our house too...hehe
I really don't look forward to the teenage stage!!!!
