Mini-mite moniker

Each year the mini-mites have Mite Night - it is quite a big deal. The kids are able to skate out in the spotlight while they are announced over the PA. Very exciting.

So there has been much consternation in the Schmidt House over what little man should have for his introduction on the big night.

First there was "Broadway Joe" Schmidt.

Then we moved on to "Hurricane Joe" Schmidt.

Then we decided it should be Joe "Boom Boom" Schmidt (courtesy of papa Ed)

However, none of the names have been to little man's liking because he has his little heart set on a name his mother will under no circumstances allow for him to be announced as in his skating debut.

What is the name he cannot live without you ask?


None other than:

Joe "THE GRAVEDIGGER" Schmidt



Sigh.

Sadly, we have created our own monsters. (I think Kirk may be Joe's foil).

I might have to suggest the spotlight idea for our last Mighty-Mite practice next week (I can't believe that I'm actually bummed that the season is almost over. What's wrong with me? I need to get a life!)

What's wrong with Joe The Gravedigger? It's got a nice ring to it. I say let him, people will be rolling. Wish I were there :)

Well Carey we took your suggestion and he will be the Gravedigger.

Yeah, a Gravedigger is a real profession after all, right? Although, I hope that he isn't going to go that far. I too wish I was going to be there to witness this.

I am usually an open book...

however have made the decision to have The Schmidt House be invite only, you are the ones that I want to share our lives with - if there is someone that I have omitted by mistake, please let me know. Think that there are some family members that I do not have email addresses for, so will need to track those down. I have found that I have been a little blog "stuck" for the last few months knowing that there were a lot of people who read my site and I became a little self conscious about what I was writing as to not offend anyone - not like I go out of my way to offend, but after awhile you realize that there are some pretty sensitive folks out there. I know it takes all kinds for the world to go around, however I don't want to have to worry about it when I am here. So now I feel a little more free to speak my mind which you all know has never been a problem, but now I feel I am among friends. Thanks for sharing this little adventure with the Schmidts...

Pleased as punch

We got our new vacuum cleaner last night. The home office was kind enough to pick one up along with our PF Chang's takeout. Take out Chinese on Valentine's is a tradition. Anyhoo, as you can see from the photo we basically sucked up an entire Pomeranian in our upstairs family room. I don't know if I should be embarrassed or pleased. I mean we just vacuumed on Monday with the Hoover and I knew it wasn't picking up everything, but this is ridiculous. The home office was so impressed with the Animal he went downstairs and vacuumed up another canine in the family room down there. I am still trying to figure out all of the gadgets on the machine. I seriously cannot figure out how to attach the stair cleaner. It is really funky how the thing is put together, efficient, but funky. I also for the life of me cannot figure out the directions. I dislike how all European companies, Dyson (UK), IKEA (Sweden) just show you pictures. I always thought I was a visual person, but I am b...

Hiatus no more

I don't know what it is about January, but 'round about January 15th I go into a complete and utter funk - hence no blogging. It is as if I need to cocoon for a bit, metamorphosize, and re-enter the world in February. This year has been especially bad due to our chaotic schedules with the kids, plus I have been working almost 60 hours per week as it is budget time and we are determining what exactly does "hunkering down" look like. Don't worry, work is still fun, challenging might be a better word. I truly love my new job, actually it was a promotion - didn't officially know until this week, so that jump starts the old engine as well. Other than that I have also realized in the last week my body is really, really mad at me. Things are just not working as they should and finally made the decision to go see the doctor who helped with the torn ligament a few years ago. Bottom line, just haven't been taking care of myself and he cracked me around a bit so can ...
