Past, Present, and Future....

Finally Friday....snow makes for a long week. Winter makes for a long week. I am ready to see my roses again like in the picture and enjoy some time outside. I just need that.

This is what has been going on around here...

Past- The past week has been the "big snow". I don't know exactly how much we ended up with but I am hearing between 8-12 inches. The drifts of course made it much deeper in certain areas. Our poor little doggies couldn't go out of the house without their belly's dragging in the snow and it was like 35 below zero...my word. It is not unusual to have bad weather in the month of January so I am trying really hard not to complain about it anymore.

Present- I am back at work and just enjoying the routine of the day to day. Our family works much better on a routine (I am not super strict by any means) but getting up and getting dressed means we are WAY more productive.

Future- This weekend C has to cheer for basketball but K's game got cancelled. I am a little sad because that is one less dance for her Senior year. I am relishing every one of these events because it is the end of an era for our family....don't get me started...sniff sniff. L starts back to piano and M has volleyball practice. Did I say earlier I missed our routine? Yes, we are busy but that is just our season of life right now, and being snowed in made me miss our crazy lifestyle and getting out and about.

Happy Friday :)

Daybook....

Good Morning, I am linking up with The Simple Woman's Blog for the weekly Daybook For today... February 9, 2015 Outside my window .... Chilly (in the 30's for a high) but no snow. Most of the snow has melted from the warm temps this weekend. I am thinking ... that I had a great, great weekend with my family. I am thankful. .. that my children view each other as important. We had to plan Lucy's birthday celebration around Katie's work hours because she just started her new job and can't request time off. Lucy would have never considered celebrating her birthday without her big sis present. I am wearing. .. my sparkly sweater again. I must need the sparkles to handle a Monday morning. I am creating ... nothing at the moment, but do have some unfinished projects. My mind has been exhausted lately and I am just chilling and puttering around. I am praying ... for a family decision that could make a huge difference in our live...

It's OK

Time for some grumbling, snarkiness, and maybe a little bad attitude... So who came up with flowered scented dish soap? Someone who drinks perfume? This is just so gross. Really. Why must the good foods be fattening? Why is Coca Cola bad for your weight, health, teeth,etc. but so good for your mood? I would say that it is just me but the fact it is a billion dollar industry would contradict that, just sayin. Why did God not give me the love of cooking to match my love of eating home cooked foods? Where do all my socks go? Really, my house is not that big. Is it really necessary to get hot sweats at night? Wouldn't society be better if the menopausal women at least were well rested? I think I need a snickers, I am definitely in Diva mode today!!

Winter Items I Can't Live Without

If you have read my blog, like ever, you know winter and I have kind of a tolerate, bordering on really dislike, each other kind of relationship. If I could have snow without ice and in 50 degree weather, life would be fine for those 4-5 months. I don't really dislike snow. But I can't handle being cold. At All!! Ok, Rant over, for today, maybe, until it is brought up again.... What can I not live without? A Warm Coat...my favorite coat is my black puffer coat. It was super cheap from Sam's eleven (yes, eleven) years ago. It is the warmest coat ever and luckily has never went out of style. The zipper is being a little iffy this year and I just might cry if I talk about it too long. This coat washes and drys so well and does not look like it has been a winter staple for eleven years. I also have a North Face that I love but if it is below 20, the black coat wins hands down, every time. ...
