It's finally Friday!!!!!

Hip Hip Hooray, I get a day off! Tomorrow, or rather today since it's actually Friday now but its a full, paid day off! The kids have no school tomorrow so its Family fun time. We are making cake and jello, go sledding and shopping and maybe a movie. Ok, so we might just get some of that done but we shall have fun doing it. Bear will be read to cause chaos in the kitchen and Andy will do his thing with the Jimmy Johnson car. My grandfather used to race stock cars back in the 6o's. this is so romantic, just in time for Vday. He loved racing, it was his passion but when my grandmother was pregnant with their 3rd child, my uncle Amph she begged him to stop racing fearing he would be killed leaving she and the kids alone. He loved her so very much that he did, I was born 7 or 8 years later and heard often over the years how much he loved racing. I think of all things he did for her over the years that was one of the most loving things he ever did. Gran passed back in '98 after a long battle with breast cancer and I was there when she left us. Grandpa held her as she slipped away with my aunt and myself quietly weeping at her bedside. They were married for more than 40 years, as in love the day she died as they were the day they exchanged vows. His last words to her were "let go sweetheart, you don't have to fight it anymore." Ok, sorry enough emo. I do miss her too, now I have my own family and tell them often how much thier Great Gran would have loved them, just like thier Grandma does in life. Now I really need sleep, day off with kids doesn't mean sleep in!
