Road Sign Typos
On the way home from our Easter visiting on Sunday evening, I noticed some interesting signs on the interstate. We were traveling through a stretch of construction, where most of the permanent road signs have been removed and replaced with some temporary signs. Apparently the temporary signs were not proofed all that well. They read:
"North Chicago Navel Station"
and
"Campbell Reginal Airport"
and
"Campbell Reginal Airport"
I know there was a third one, but I cannot remember what it said. So, if you're traveling on I-94 North in the far northern suburbs of Chicago, check out the road signs between Rt-60 and Rt-120.

You know you're overtired...
~ when you can hit the snooze button without even looking at the clock.
~ when you start incorporating your alarm into your dreams.
~ when you set your alarm for 5am, but don't manage to get up until 6:20.
I really hate having to get up before the sun!!
Now ain't that the truth?!
I read this quote today in a co-workers office...thought it was very appropriate.

Everything I need to know in life
...can be learned from Dr. Seuss!!
Recently, my 4 year old has become obsessed with Dr. Seuss books. (Gee...can't imagine why!) As I sit and read them to my children time and time again, something is becoming clear. That Dr. Seuss sure did know what he was talking about!!
"You have brains in your head,
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself in any direction you choose!"
