Thursday????

Oh my gosh where has this week gone????  Yesterday was the first snow of the year for us here in Omaha.  I would love to say I was housebound and got a ton accomplished - but not so much!!  Actually I did get a lot of computer work done which I really needed to do, so I lit a fire and parked myself with my computer and hot chocolate and stayed cozy all day.  Even though I'm home most days I rarely get the  chance to just sit and work on my computer.  It was a great day!!  Not to mention I was able to take and send some great pictures of it snowing that my far away family missed out on.  Of course they're still running around in shorts so they weren't too upset that they were "missing out".  But today we're back to lots of sunshine , blue sky, and temps in the 40's.  Snow is best when it comes and goes!  It's beautiful to watch fall but I don't think I'm quite ready for a long stretch of it covering everything yet.  I hope whatever your weather, that this is an awesome day for you!!

Mid-week Challenge for week 14

I know I'm a little behind since Laura posted this Mid-week Challenge last Wednesday but better late than never - right???  Today is the first day that I actually feel like myself again!!  It's feels like it's been such a long time but I'm back - yay!!!!  The extra plus is today we even have SUNSHINE!!!!!  I saw the forecast this morning and by the weekend it's supposed to be sunny and in the 60's!!!!  I know they always change the forecast later on in the week, but for a Monday this was a great way to get motivated!  Now I'm starting to see what's really behind the weathermans' forecast.  It's motivation for the whole viewing area!!!  Wow what a responsibility!!!  I thought it was a big enough job trying to encourage and motivate my three sons, but can you imagine the weight of the world THEY must feel????  Makes a mom job seem a little easier.  Today find something sunny in your world and draw about it.

Spring Influences

I think the closer we get to Spring the more spring-like my tangles get.  I'm sure there's something Freudian like, but I am so ready to see some color on the ground and some sunshine - more than just 1 or 2 days in a row.  We are on a little trip right now and I thought the weather would be great.  Well, not so much!  Today so far, is overcast and tomorrow is forecasting rain.  Seriously?????  I'm sure there's a lesson in there somewhere about making lemonade out of lemons, or something like that, but I can tell you that after living in the Midwest for awhile, you really grow to appreciate the change in the seasons.  When you're just about sick of one, it's about time for a new one, bringing new things to the surroundings.  I guess like the Bible (and the song) says, there is a time for every season and God knows what that time is.  I guess it's a good thing we're not the ones in charge of THAT.  It would be like bi-polar weather with everyone saying, "I want this today, or no I want it like this".  I'll try to enjoy the wonderful people around me and be thankful that today I have my health and will make my lemonaid.  Happy day to you!!
