Wednesday’s Hero
March 2, 2011
On March 2, a gunman walked into a Frankfurt, Germany airport and shot four people, killing two of them. They were:
Senior Airman Nicholas J. Alden who was 25-years-old from Williamston, S.C. He was assigned to the 48th Security Forces Squadron at RAF Lakenheath in England.
Airman 1st Class Zachary R. Cuddeback of Stanardsville, Va. He was assigned to the 86th Vehicle Readiness Squadron at Ramstein Air Base in Germany.
Both Men were being deployed to Afghanistan. I’m sure I speak for everyone when I say our thoughts and prayers go out to the friends and families these Men left behind.
Information Was Found On And Copied From MilitaryCity.com
These brave men and women sacrifice so much in their lives so that others may enjoy the freedoms we get to enjoy everyday. For that, I am proud to call them Hero.
We Should Not Only Mourn These Men And Women Who Died, We Should Also Thank God That Such People Lived

Staycation Vacation
In the interest of saving money, we are looking to stay local this summer. However, this isn’t as easy as it sounds. I’ll be honest — my first idea came from watching Kate Plus 8 and seeing Discovery Cove. That place looked awesome! That being said — I went to price it out. Ummm, yeah. Way to pricey for us. Their prices start at $200 a person. Yes, let me repeat — start at $200! Cool, yes. Way to expensive for us, yes. By the time I add in airfare and everything else, well this trip would have costed us more than Disney did last year!
So after getting over my disappointment over Discovery Cove, I started looking local. We are just looking at taking the family away for a weekend. Kenosha started looking really good. Now, I need to talk Bill into it. I found the Bristol Renaissance Fair. I’m still looking for someone who has went here. I need to know if there’s something for a 3 and a 6 year old to do or is this place too old? Also, I need to talk the hubby into it!
Anybody know of other things to do? We are looking at 4 hrs or less from Chicago we’d be willing to drive. Any ideas?

What’s on your do to list?
What’s on your honey to do list that never seems to get done? I know I’ve got a ton of stuff. Here’s a short list of mine:
1. Clean and organize my attic. This area seems to get worse and worse and even more cluttered.
2. Clean and organize the junk room in my basement. When we redid the basement 2 yrs ago, we threw everything in that room. Well, it’s still there!!!!
3. The house getting a good cleaning. I always say I’m going to hire somebody to do this and I never do. And I don’t do it either. :) My house gets weekly cleanings but I want somebody to clean the top of the fridge and all the stuff I hate doing!
4. Landscaping in the yard. I’ve started this but man it’s a lot of work. I have a feeling that most of my plans aren’t going to get done, but hey, they look great in my mind!
5. Painting my fence. It looks pretty bad and nobody wants to do it!
That’s my list! What’s yours? Let me know here or on Twitter Moms!
