-sleep-

its 10:15. i should be getting tired and ready for bed. but im not. why not? because i just woke up about an hour ago. my sleep schedule is completely messed up. the kids are in bed. the house is dark and quiet. here i sit passing the time until i start to feel tired. stupid flu. i think im getting better though. the horrible headache has toned down a lot. ive eaten a few times today and everything is staying down...so far. so, hopefully...

i watched bushes speech today on the economy. well, some of it anyway. does he really think putting roughly $800 into peoples hands is going to make any difference in the economy? im not arguing, ill take the $800, but i dont expect the economy to pick up because of it, whether it be short term or long term. when he claims in speeches that the "economy is strong" i can only laugh and think back to the time that he told us the iraq war was won. how long ago was that? if the war was won than, why are we wasting so many human lives over there still today? ole bushy...the president who cried wolf. thank god his recent iran propaganda isnt fooling the public again or we'd have at least twice the mess we have right now. (and $5/gallon gas).

the minnesota twins signed justin morneau to a one year contract. knowing the twins that means they dont want to commit to him long term. once the year is up the twins wont want to pay him and he'll go somewhere else. its the typical minnesota sports story. they start here...we watch them get good...someone else pays them more so they leave. i wish we had an owner who was willing to spend some money. im sick of watching an average team year after year after year. at least i got to see them win the series twice. im just worried that will be it for them.

it is 7 below 0 outside right now. with a windchill of 29 below! the high tomorrow is only supposed to be 3 degrees "warmer" than what it is right now. the high temperature! its going to be a long weekend of sitting around inside. i do not want to go out in this. but i already have cabin fever from being sick...so ill probably have to get out of the house.
