Here in the midwest, cold weather this time of year is definitely NOT unheard of. This year is a bit different, it was a mild fall. We had 70s through September and 60s through the beginning of this month To now be at or below freezing is a shock to the system. Mind you, I have yet to put away my light leather jacket for my winter variant, so it can't be that bad, yet. Until I remind you that I have 4 kids.
Four kids and a husband who worked last night - combine that with cold weather and you have one crazy house!! The girls are playing tag in their princess dresses. The boys are imitating A-Rodg in the family room - here's to hoping none of the Jordan memorabilia falls casualty to the level of energy. All while Jeff and the geriatric K9s are trying to sleep. I think I will send my jr NFL boys out in the elements to burn off some of this energy. As for the princesses, I guess I will just have to deal with their world of pink dresses and clickity-clack shoes.
I know I will miss these days once they are in high school, but some days...
My moments of thankfulness:
1) Thanksgiving - this year was with my family. I am thankful for the time with them (and the lack of drama). I am also grateful that my first attempt with the bird was a success. The turkey is usually Jeff's job - but his shift was Wednesday and there was no way he would have been home in time. So, I emptied the cavities (ewwwww) and seasoned the bird and got her in the oven. See, being a fire wife causes you to tackle the things you would not have otherwise done. (Minor though it may be.)
2) My Nook - My newest toy has gotten me through the quiet nights without Jeff home.
3) My Dad - after a crazy day yesterday, not wanting to cook, my dad called and took us out for burgers and custard at Robert's
4) My Health - I am no longer feverish, puking or hacking up both lungs - first Sunday in quiet some time.
5) Christmas is coming - need I say more!!
