Inside Day

The weather this year (2009) has been really weird. It fluctuates daily between sunny and warm and cloudy, wet, and freezing. Today is freezing and rainy. Because of the ice, it is recommended that everyone stay home unless necessary. That always makes me want to go shopping. No one else will be out and the check-out lanes are empty. Cashiers are friendly and glad to see anyone to break up the boredom. I was going to go out, but it really is dangerous. Elizabeth was in an accident on Saturday. Another driver hit her van (she is ok), but it makes me a little wary about venturing out. Her van is probably totaled. Theron spent the night with us last night. He has been wanting to come and Rebecca needed someone to watch him early this morning. This was his first night away from home and tonight will be the second. Mother and child are both doing fine. In fact, Theron said he didn't want to go home yet. Makes it easier not to have to explain why he has to spend another night. I think it would be fun to have all the pre-k kids come spend the night. We can stay up late, tell goofy stories, and Elizabeth will make waffles in the morning!

Fun

A client asked me what I do for fun, and I paused. She laughed and said if I had to think about it, I wasn't having enough fun. This from a lady who's life is a lot more frustrating and disapointing than most people I know! So, what do you do for fun? I think for my New Year's resolution (I don't make a long list anymore), I will have more fun. I must now think of something more fun than being with my family, bouncing babies, and planning ridiculously large parties....... poor me!

Happy New Year

I have been going through boxes and boxes of pictures. How fun it is to see our past lives captured on film. How cute we all were. Now I look in the mirror and see wrinkles more and more each day. Oh, well, I am starting to really feel much better, and a little onerier; so watch out! This year will be very interesting. I can see a lot of changes for us--good and not so good. We will grow as we learn.
