Yawn.....

Ok, it's 7am. I have decided if Tom and I both get up early maybe we will both go to bed at a decent hour at night. This time change has messed us up royally! First of all, it is still light outside at 8:00 when we put the kids to bed, and then we talk, internet, mess with our basketball brackets, and watch mindless television until way too late. So, here I am in the pitch dark (well, outside it's pitch dark) at 7am. Yawn.

I have been going through the rest of the boxes and making a massive garage sale pile. The house is so messy right now with all of the boxes but the girls have a "hotel" made of empty wardrobe boxes that Tom taped together with strategically placed windows doors and rooms. It is so cool I wish I could play in it, and I almost had to cut Tom out of it!!! ;-) So if the wind doesn't blow, and it doesn't rain (rain? what's that?). We are having a massive post-moving sale the first weekend in April. Good-bye junk. Hello cash. I'll try to remember to photograph the carnage to show you.

March madness always adds pizazz around here. When we first married, we decided not to have television for our first year of marriage. We married in November. In March, Tom decided to hook our TV up to a random cord from our attic, hooked up an antennae and watched basketball for a month! Interesting. After that every year in March he would be glued to the tv watching basketball.....hmmmm. So, I decided I could gripe. I could fuss. Or, I could... start loving it too! So, every year we pick a bracket to pit against one another. Tom picks his based upon actual basketball knowledge, and I pick mine with the good ole luck 'o the Irish. Sometimes he wins, sometimes I win, but it is great fun! And, it's the only time of the year I actually try to navigate ESPN's website, I think it must be made by men! :-]

Off to sort through more junk!
