Snow Day (Part 3)

Yes, I didn't think this would happen but the kids are home yet another day.  Fortunately there is still plenty of snow on the ground for them to play in.  Just enough snow for my daughter to make one more snow angel. Three snow days in GA  is just unheard of.  I am going a little stir crazy though because for the past 3 days I've been unable to get out of the house.  Yesterday I think we, our family,  needed some alone time.  Alone time as in you go your way and I will go mine.  Entirely too much togetherness and it is not good.  I decided to pour myself into my job search and my writing.  Not to mention a little "Angry Birds" time on the iPad.  It is beautiful outside though.

The Best I Can Do

Today was one of those crazy days that just seemed to get away from me.  Half of the stuff I can't even remember doing.  Did I have lunch?  When was the last time I let the dogs out? Have I even gone to the ladies room? All I wanted was a half an hour to myself, just a half an hour to breath.  It didn't happen.  The dog threw up and it just so happens the steam cleaner needs to be overhauled.  I never thought I would need to invest so much time, energy and money into cleaning up dog messes.  Just when I think I'm done for the day something else comes up.  Today was my day to volunteer at school.  I would be there all day.  This happens 2 times during the year which I know doesn't sound bad.  It isn't bad it's just challenging.  For two weeks I tell my husband, my kids and my friends that they will have to forgive me.  My brain is on overload and I can't help myself so I certainly cannot help you.  Forgive me for forgetting and please if you can do it yourself do.  This isn't the time to ask for last minute help, last minute errands and last minute loads of laundry.  I'm sorry but it's the best I can do. 

Grateful, So Very Grateful

I am grateful. I've always been silently grateful. As I've seen more of the world I am more cognizant of what I have. In particular...
