Tomorrow is my parents 50th wedding Anniversary party. I had a cake made for the occasion. I am worried the weather is going to make it impossible to travel to Nashville.

We are currently under a winter storm warning. We are suppose to get snow starting today thru tomorrow. Knox county closed schools last night at 7pm. The kids didn’t have to go to school today.

My parents are having their 50th wedding anniversary party tomorrow in Nashville. I’m going to cry if it snows enough that I can’t get over the mountains and attend. I am picking up their anniversary cake after work.

Today I failed at being a mom. I was cleaning house when Morgan asks if she can use her easy bake oven. I said “yes” so that she would stay out of the way.  Once I am on a roll cleaning I need people out of the way and let me do what I need to do.

It takes 12 minutes to bake a cake in the easy bake oven.  Morgan decided it was too hard to see the cake cook in the easy bake oven so she asked me if she could use the microwave. I wasn’t paying attention when I said “yes”.  10 minutes into baking her tiny cake in the microwave it catches fire. Smoke filled the house. It seems I forgot to tell Morgan that microwaves cook things really quickly.

I failed at being a mom. Poor Morgan was scared to death.

It’s snowing in Powell Tennessee. The roads are a bit slippery. slipped to the bottom of my driveway when I got home. It was a bit scary, thought I was going to hit Stephanie’s car for a moment. That would have been bad.

Family Christmas 2 Jan 2010

This is a short video of our family Christmas at Fall Creek Falls. We had a really good time. Unfortunately I was only filming when people look bored. LOL!

I went to bed long before midnight when I woke up this morning it was 2010. Wow! amazing.

I don’t have any specific goals for this year. Except that maybe I will make a true attempt at getting into better physical shape. My son wants me to join his karate class. I am seriously thinking about doing this.

I received a new computer for Christmas. I want to work on making better videos. In the last few days I have taken our old vcr tapes and put them on DVD and then uploaded them to youtube.

I wish everyone a happy 2010.

Happy 2010

Morgan and Shane Ethan were promoted to yellow belts in karate last week. Here is a short video of the promotion ceremony.
