I have to wait till the 24th for my spring break… Hey Kel, since you are home, why don’t I send you my relatives that are here from Yellowknife. Playmates for your kids and bonus, they get two weeks for spring break so they could stick around when you go back to work. (p.s. I take back all my nah nah nah’s when you got all that snow… we are heading into 25 cms today _sigh_) * * * We are, each of us angels with only one wing,and we can only fly by embracing one another ---

The best part is that I managed to hang onto some cash, and I can take the kids out & stuff. We are going to see “Snow Day” later, and tomorrow we are driving to Rexton (mom’s hometown) to visit with relatives - the kids love it up there as I always did. Its about an hour away, butthe new car has cruise control, and I have a new Jimmy Buffet tape in the deck, so I am good to go! Shitboy’s mom is gonna take them for a day sometime this week, (and he finally paid feb’s child support!) so I can spend my money and not feel bad this week. I think pizza sounds good for supper. Sue, send them on down! The more the merrier!Sorry about the snow _giggle_, really \ thats rough! aha: nanner nanner nanner! 🙂 ---

Damn, color me jealous times five. Once for each day. To make it even worse, practically everyone in the state gets off for Mardi Gras tomorrow EXCEPT me, of course. * * * “Honey we’re recovering Christians.” –Tori Amos - _In the Springtime of his Voodoo_ ---

Wednesday (9th) is my last day until March 19th! That is both school _and_ work!! Whoo-hoo! Among other things, I am attending the NC Dopers meeting on the 18th! * * * I have a hobby. I have the world’s largest collection of seashells. I keep it scattered on beaches all over the world. Maybe you’ve seen some of it. ---

I went to Hawaii for Winter Break, which is our February break. Spring Break is in late April, and I’m just gonna be lounging around the house and (no suprise here, I’m sure) reading the boards and going into chat. I’ll have some pics up soon of the Hawaii trip, if anyone’s interested. * * * _SanibelMan_ - [My Homepage](http://members.macconnect.com/~jonkleinow/) “All right. Have it your own way.
