Sick

I'm sicker than a dog right now...

The cold medicine isn't working...
The chicken soup isn't working...
The millions of times I've blown my nose isn't working....

I just want to crawl into bed and sleep till vacation!

(I can thank my husband for giving me such an awful cold)

Anniversary

Okay...so I realize it's not that big of an accomplishment...but my husband and I have officially made it 5 months together as husband and wife. I can't believe it's been 5 months already since the wedding, it seems like yesterday.

Whoohoo...

(okay, it's silly I know...but I feel like celebrating)

No focus

Ever get to the end of the week and you just don't have the focus you need to? That's exactly how I feel today.

Even the big kids can play in the snow

Columbus gets dumped on with tons of snow in about 24 hours. We ended up with about 11 inches at our house. After shoveling the sidewalk and driveway (for the second time in 2 days) my husband decided he wanted to make snow angels...just for fun. Proving that even the big kids can enjoy their "snow day"

Timing is everything...

Thank God that for once this winter the snow hits on a weekend.

I am blissfully enjoying my "snow day" at home with my husband. :-)

Silent time you have early in the morning makes you think too much

There is such a divide between the days I want to be completely quiet and the days that I crave interaction with other people. This morning, while I sit typing at my computer, it's completely silent upstairs. (only because I left our bedroom where my husband was snoring so loud it woke me up) It's nice to get a few moments to collect my thoughts after what has been a really stressful month.

It's interesting to me that I spent so many days in February wishing that time would pass more quickly and yet now I'm sitting here thinking "oh my gosh...it's March already". Snow can do that to you I guess. So can having vampire hours. :-)

I still make a list every Thursday night of the things I'd like to accomplish over the weekend, which is the only time I truly feel that I have more than 10 minutes to do something for myself. This week's list consisted mostly of shopping and scrapbooking, and as of this moment I've yet to do either. Yesterday was such a waste for me. I spent too long vegging in the morning trying to settle down from a busy day, that I in turn slept much longer than I should have. Then I was on the phone for awhile (which was time well spent) and all of a sudden Scott was home and it was time to make dinner.

I have however enjoyed my time so far this week watching our new TV. Scott decided to buy a 40" flat screen HDTV. It's a nice TV and I think he's pretty happy with it. I won't get in to the debate over whether or not we have a dying need for a new TV...that's a battle I don't think I'll ever win.

I think we are at that akward stage where enough time has passed since the wedding that many don't think of us as newlyweds anymore. :-) It reminds me of the summer between 8th grade and high school. No longer are you a middle school student, but you can't honestly call yourself a high school student either. Obviously we aren't going to call ourselves single because that's not the case...but after the wedding most people are bored with the fact that you are just 'married'. I'm sure it's a stage that will be here until people start asking whether or not we're going to have kids. (which, if you are wondering, we plan on it...but no timetable has been set)

Today I have the feeling like I want to accomplish so much, yet few things will be finished. Oh well. Sometimes a weekend where there's nothing to do is nice.
