New Year & Hello

Tuesday, January 10th, 2012

The weather here, like most places, has been super mild. I’m not complaining, but I do miss snow. I miss bundling up in my favorite sweaters and thick wool socks. If it’s going to be overcast, it might as well be chilly. That’s just my opinion. And I realize we are already into the second [...]

The Hill

Monday, December 5th, 2011

It snowed here in Nebraska this past weekend. It was the wet heavy snow, which makes shoveling difficult but sledding awesome. Tween and Girl wanted to go sledding along with a few neighbor kids. But just one problem: the neighbor kids had to have an adult go with. So with my camera, stocking cap, heavy [...]

Dormancy of Last Year

Thursday, March 3rd, 2011

This time last year I was struggling.  One of the downfalls to my job is working inside all winter and having very little social interaction.

Winter Nights

Tuesday, December 14th, 2010

Family game night is one of my favorite things about winter, but I’m the only one in my family that does NOT like Monopoly! So the other night when my kids decided to play a game together I sat back and watched. To my amazement they got along with each other for the entire game. [...]

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow

Thursday, December 9th, 2010

We had already been hit by several inches of snow this time last year. The single digit temps, snow, ice, and dreary days started in October making for a very long winter. Schools had to use 2 snow days by now; and in a school district that rarely closes for snow, that was a lot [...]

On the 3rd Day of Christmas: Making an Effort

Friday, December 3rd, 2010

I’m fashion challenged. I’m also body challenged. As you can see from the picture, for my medium height I have long legs. Do you see where my hand is resting on my waist? So between the top of my pants and the bottom of my bra it’s just a few inches. I have a difficult [...]
