Scientist have linked more prehistoric creatures to modern day animals. If you didn't see this story today you may want to check it out. The story can be found here.
I happen to believe that dinosaurs did exist, and that the age of the fossils given are accurate. Take a moment to read the article it is quite interesting, even if you don't believe in dinosaurs.

Spring Break!!
We finally decided to take our spring break this week. When the ps were taking their breaks it was all yucky, rainy and cold out so we decided to press on with our studies and wait for better weather. Well, this week it arrived finally. I have to say I was ready for it.
We missed going to the Y this week. Tuesday I had to stay home and help my hubby fix the roof that the insurance company wouldn't fix (read previous message). Then today Poogie had ballet photos and we wouldn't have made it home and back to ballet for photos. She had to be all dolled up with curls in her hair and makeup.
Other than that we have spent most of the week just taking it easy. I have been fighting the spring time allergies. I hate this feeling of having to sneeze and sneeze. I've been on every type of medicine, took 3 years of allergy shots and I still have the symptoms. It makes it hard to enjoy the spring time.
I hope to scrapbook this weekend and plan for upcoming school weeks. Till later.

I Feel Cheated!!!
Let's just say that we, my hubby and I, had to find out the hard way that you cannot trust insurance companies. We have had our homeowners insurance with the same company for almost 9 years. Only filing one claim when we first moved in our home and it was the builders fault so they fixed it.
We filed the second claim last month after the bad storms of Feb. because of roof and water damage caused by the storm to our daughter's room. After waiting almost 4 weeks to hear from them they called today to tell us that they wouldn't give us a cent. They said the roof leaked due to neglect. Now we check our roof every fall and later in the spring, clean the gutters and such. Our home is well kept. We have spent quite a bit of money updating it. It is a manufactured home, but it is a nice one. We bought the home planning to build a home here in the future. In fact we were beginning to make preparations to build in the next year.
It just makes me sick all the money we have paid this company and they won't fix my daughter's room or the roof. It ruined her carpet, sheet rock and all of the bookshelves in her room. Now we have to pay for all the repairs out of our pocket. This is a large well known insurance company, not a local mom and pop place. It just makes me feel like you cannot trust anyone. It has really bummed me out.
