February 1 - February 7

    Monday February 1st I took kids to school then came home to workout before heading to town for a facial. After my facial I went to school and subbed for 4D. Rachel went to Elly's afterschool to play and then she got home just in time to make her pizza's and watch the kids for a bit before Mike got home. I went to school and helped decorate the halls for Valentine's day and spring with the HELP club.

   Tuesday I took the kids to school then came home to workout and work on laundry. I then cleaned up the house and started dinner. After school I dropped Becca and Alec off at home before Rachel and I headed to Piano. After piano we had Chicken Italian Bake for dinner and everyone really liked it. Wednesday I took the kids to school then came home to work out while I waited for the delivery people to deliver our new windows and doors. They got here about 10 and then I showered and headed to school to sub for the librarian Mrs. Abbott. After school we went to CCD where Father and Deacon blessed all the kids throats and then they each went to class. After CCD we took Grace home and come home and had hamburger's for dinner. 

   Thursday the kids had school and I subbed in the High School resource room in the morning. After lunch I went to town and got my first Covid shot. I then went and picked up a Violet for Grandma Priest for her birthday and dropped it off at her house before picking up kids. Bree and Ava stayed to play for awhile. Rachel had a basketball practice at 6 and then we went to parent teacher conferences. Elly came over to stay with Alec while Rachel was playing basketball and Becca was playing at Bree's. Bree came home and stayed the night with us. Friday the kids didn't have school. I went to town and ran some errands before coming home to work on laundry and clean the house with the kids. Friday night we went to Josh and Jennifer's for poker night. The kids had fun playing and Rachel stayed the night. We also got snow on Friday night.

    Saturday Mike, Alec and I went to Maxwell to watch Sean wrestle. The girls wanted to stay home. After the wrestling meet we went to Dave's Place for dinner and Wanda came out to spend the night. 

   Sunday we went to church and then came home to cook food for Kasia's super bowl party. Sunday afternoon we went in and watched part of the game before heading home as it was snowing again. From Friday to Sunday we got 13.1 inches of snow.

February 7 - Tell about the first time you ever saw TV. We always had a TV but in grade school we only got CBS and PBS. The first time I ever saw "TV" on a phone was when Kevin got a new phone in 2004 and he could get live new on it. That was the first time I saw internet and outside information on a phone.
