an effort to blog

I keep being disappointed that there's not much new to read - but then its been a real long time since I've written anything. Not much excitement has happened. We decided last night to go to walmart and get alarm clocks for everyone. For a long while we were doing pretty good at waking up at a decent hour to do schoolwork (decent hour being 9:30-10:00). However lately, past month or so we've been waking up at around noon! yeah daily around 11:45 - 12:00! we'd eat lunch and do whatever - then finally start on schoolwork around 2:00. Well Cathy has to do several hours of school in order to finish a course in a month. In theory time doesn't matter, except at about 4 everyone is itching to go somewhere - anywhere just to get out of the house (especially Jorge the dad). So its not a positive experience when the whole family is ready to go except we're all waiting for Cathy to finish. So we got alarm clocks for everyone so we could all get up earlier. Well today - they didn't help much. Jeremiah's didn't even make him stir. Cathy slept with me and got up when I got up - 45min after the alarm. I went to take a shower and could hear both Jorge and Cathy's alarm going off - and Jorge sound asleep! I guess we're all deep sleepers.

Sorry, but I'm stumped.

I saw this alarm clock in a magazine that is on wheels and is capable of falling several feet with out damage. And the Idea is that when the alarm goes off it rolls off your night stand and you have to chase it just to turn it off. and i guess it detects motion or something because when it detects your about to hit snooze it rolls away again. so you like really have to chase it.
