Parental Advice from a Spears
Thomas Nelson, the Christian publishing company, has just announced they have put a hold on publishing the book by Lynne Spears on parenting. Hmm, now why would they do that? Surely this book has some valuable insights that I could benefit from.

School programs, church programs, lots of snow, and going to Florida
On Sunday, we were supposed to have our children's program at church. But we got dumped with a lot of snow and church was called off. So, we will be having the program tonight. On Thursday, we will be performing it again at a local homeless shelter. That same Sunday night was Anna and Cameron's Christmas program at their school, but it too was canceled. It was rescheduled for next Sunday, but they'll miss it because we'll be out of town.
It will be a mad scramble the next couple days because on Friday, as soon as the kids get out of school, we hop in the van and head to Kentucky; stay the night, then head down to Tampa, Florida. Dorene's sister, Diane, has a timeshare there and all of us, including Diane and Carlene (Dorene's mom), will be spending the week there.
One of the days will be spent going to Disney World, during what is the absolute busiest time of the year. We did it 5 years ago and it was indeed crowded, but we still were able to see and do pretty much everything we wanted. Anna and Cameron are obviously very excited about going. Anna remembers the last time we were there, but Cameron was only a baby, so he's pumped up about it. The rest of the time we're in Florida will be spent enjoying our beachfront condo.
We'll head back to Indiana on December 30, then head to Fort Wayne for Christmas, part II, which will take place on New Year's Day. Yikes, then I go back to work on the 2nd while Dorene and the kids still have the rest of the week off.
Looking forward to the break in Florida, though, it'll be nice.

Anna W. Bush
A couple days ago, Anna and Cameron were bickering at the dinner table over something relatively minor. Cameron complained that Anna snatched something from his hand. He got sent to his room for a timeout and Anna got sent downstairs.
She was very indignant and insisted she did nothing wrong. As she went downstairs, in between her tears, she cried out, "Not fair! I didn't do anything wrong! That is false accusiation."
When she finished serving her timeout, I informed her that there was no such word, which made her laugh.
