I need some rest, so guess I will go back to work

We had a crazy weekend full of activities. One of the highlights was JG's hockey game today at Mariucci Arena (home of the Golden Gophers). He was goalie and they finally won a game - 6-3. He had about 10 shots on goal and did really well, one of his bestest buddies MO helped him out with the goal as well.

I was a nervous wreck the whole time and had to laugh tonight when he told me before going to sleep, "Mommy, my team gave me a rounder of claws." Translation: round of applause.

AE played her last basketball for Fall, I am glad we are done and am sad that we didn't play up. I really feel like she digressed, however think I am being a bit hard on a 10 year old. Her other team tied for 1st at the top level of 6th grade and I think that AE would have learned so much - oh well we will be playing with them again before we know it. They are all such nice girls and AE has made so many friends on both teams.

Here is a little video of the after game celebration for JG's team (JG is at the bottom of the dog pile):

Oh my! I didn't know they made goalie pads that little! (Susan - You are JUST nuts enough to be a goalie mom...I'm thinking, if I play my cards right, I'll get KG to do the same, and grow up to be just like you!). Happiness!

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...

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 ...

Canola, help desk hell and hanging with Mike and Larry

Work so far is going well. I cannot believe how large the Cargill corporate office is - I seriously got lost going to and from the bathroom. I got all messed up when I left our "pod" because I didn't look to see what the sign hanging from the ceiling said. I knew I sit in "Grain I/T", however when I got back from the restroom all I saw was a sign for "Canola". Go figure - guess Canola and Grain sit together. I am in the middle of IT land with programmers abound. I get to share a "bullpen" (four desks in a common area with a table in the middle - the table is the home to 2 monitors, a bunch of cables and is surrounded by boxes full of more techie stuff) with Mike and Larry - both are rather interesting. Larry likes the NY Jets and Mike evidently likes Amish furniture. Those are the only things the two have talked about. Haven't quite figured out why Mike carries around a 1% milk jug full of water wherever he goes - haven't seen him dr...
