It's game day and the folks here in Arizona are so excited that the Cardinals are in the superbowl. I cannot say that I am terribly jazzed...actually, I don't care all that much. I have never really been a huge sports fan...yes I was a "Minutemaniac" in college to get basketball tickets and not have to wait in line for them, and I went to a few Red Sox games when I lived outside of Boston and I do remember watching the Celtics with my dad on the small black and white TV we used to have when I was a kid. But that was pretty much it. I do hope the Cardinals win and will probably tune in just to watch the game and of course the commercials and half time show.
This weekend was a nice relaxing one for us here...Taylor had pink eye and the beginning of an ear infection on Friday so we stayed close to home yesterday but today ventured out. Met up with Katie for lunch and then headed over to Linda's house where I have to be the stair guard...the babies just wanted to walk up and down the stairs and that gives me heart failure every time. Wayne unfortunately was up on the roof this weekend fixing a part that always leaks when it rains a lot.
If anyone has been keeping up with Arizona news well it looks like we are cutting 133 million from education in Arizona to finish out this fiscal year and then having to cut somewhere around 300 million next year from education. Frankly, this sucks! It looks like Arizona is going to end up ranked 51st in education spending per child...yes, 51st, that means we would be behind every other state and Puerto Rico!!

This is the latest news from today...I never would have thought that with a M.Ed I would be possibly facing a layoff!
Like they say, hope for the best but expect the worst...
