Be Careful What You Wish For

Last week after going up & down the stairs about 100 times I walked into my bedroom to put something away. As I was standing there looking at my bed I thought, wouldn't it be nice to have a little cold & just be able to lay in bed all day. Well I didn't get just a little cold, I got a doozie. You know the kind were you cough so much that you feel like you just did about 300 crunches. My head hurt, my abs hurt, my nose was stuffy & runny & I was coughing my head off. Not only was I not feeling well, but Derek & I both had crazy busy schedules. I didn't really get the chance to just stay in bed all day. I do have to give a shout out to Lindsey, who let me stay in bed for a few hours on Monday. She was such a good girl to entertain herself for a little while.

I Am So Over It

I guess it is only fitting that it would snow on the first day of December. The kids were so excited, they played in the snow in the morning while they were waiting for the bus & as soon as they got home from school. They LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it. I on the other hand am already over WINTER. I know it hasn't even officially started, but I AM OVER IT!!!! There are lots of great things that come with winter, snow covered trees, sledding, skiing, snowball fights, hot chocolate, a white christmas, being able to wear my sweats to the bus stop, soup on a cold night...but does it have to be so DARN cold. I am already loathing wet boots, helping the girls put on snow pants, boots, gloves, scarves, hats & coats, shoveling snow & driving on slick roads. Thanks to my spin on the freeway last year now I am terrified of driving in the snow. What I wouldn't give to be wearing my shorts & flip flops right now.
