LeAp DaY!!!!
What do you do when the "calendar people" or is it the ancient Romans?!?! provide you with an extra day in the year. If I were a very exotic person I would think of something amazing to do with this gift of an extra day. Maybe I would vacation, do something wild and crazy, or just use the day to sleep. I could go buy my favorite foods and dedicate the day to watching all my favorite movies. (Last of the Mohicans, Pride and Prejudice, Persuasion - lots of chick flicks). If my husband were home I would have an adventure or two with him. Oh, how I wish I could spend the day reading a really fantastic book....I love to read! As it is I have a massive, and I mean humongous pile of laundry to fold, dishes to hand wash (dishwasher still broken - going on 6 months now), a 6 year old to ship off with Grandpa (yeah for Grandpa Day!), an eleven year old to get ready to go to space camp (first sleepover-I am nervous), and an eight year old to heap lots of love on (She deserves lots of love, she is so sweet). While I have three hours to myself I will purge the mess that I call a bedroom and take loads of junk to Deseret Industries hoping against hope that it does not get purchased and returned to my home. Some of you know what I am talking about. Does anyone else hang on to stupid stuff? I still have a couple of shirts from high school that I hang on to for who knows why. Am I the only one? Anyway, when my room is done I will fold laundry and watch "Becoming Jane" which my husband was so sweet to rent for me. I am lucky to have him! And that people is how I will spend my "free" day which is doled out to me every four years. Not very exotic, but Oh! how good it will feel to have purged my bedroom. I hope Reed doesn't have a heart attack when he sees the laundry is folded and our room is clean. The chances are great that the surprise will kill him. Let's hope for the best. I will update you on the results --or maybe not. Oh yeah, are any of you doing something special with your free day?

You know I can get you a good deal on diswashwers through my work, right? Also, did you get your garbage disposal fixed? If not, send me info on what you need and I'll work on getting one. As far as leap day goes, I took it off and went snowboarding, so that was nice...
I am splurging on Cafe Rio.. i have the house to myself tonight, so I'm getting a pork salad (w/extra meat... for the baby) and i'm piggin out! :) Get a dish washer for hell sakes! I hear Rafe can get good deals on them!
