• Good morning...and on this lovely spring morning.  In the country where it rarely snows we have a............BLIZZARD.

  
  

  Okay you know what the first snow storm in March I thought well that's a bit weird, but weather in Washington IS unpredictable...so I'll tolerate it.  The second snow storm I was disgusted.  Now now I'm just incredulous.  What the heck is going on?   And when can I have spring back?

  
  

  Last year this time of year we were all playing outside/working outside and enjoying the spring flowers.  HA!  We probably won't have spring flowers this year.  Poor things are sooooooo cold.

  
  

  Rob and I got my 16 year old sister to come over and babysit last night as we decided we were up to a date night on Tuesday instead of Monday.  It was a nice relaxing evening.  And I had a nummy chef salad...and 8 bites of Rob's desert.  I REALLY wanted desert..but knew there was no way I could eat it.  So asked if I could share with him....he said no.    I was disappointed, but tried to hide it.  Then about 30 seconds later he said we could.  It made me very happy.  Okay simple things make this lady happy. 

  
  

  WELL today the baby is officially safe           And I have had all restrictions removed. 

  
  

  So gonna slowly take my life back.  We moved Jamari back upstairs yesterday.  Which means my entryway is no longer serving double as a nursery.    And he sleeps better because we have nice dark curtains in there.   I told Rob yesterday was his last official day of doing laundry.  He was ecstatic hehehehe.   Its gonna feel so good to be able to do something again.

  
  

  Mind you my poor body is SO stinking out of shape....its gonna be hard for awhile so I'll just pace myself and see how it goes.

  
  

  I REALLY want to start walking again.  (like a block the first day )  But ummmmmmmm the snow is kinda intimidating today.  Soooooo that will have to wait until I can see the road again.

  
  

  We definitely 100% have insurance again!  WOO HOOO WOO HOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   And the best thing was she just did a drive by she didn't come inside.  That made me VERY happy.  So no major cleaning, etc.

  
  

  Rob and I went and bought new bedding for our bed last night.  The comforter we had was one of the hand-sewn jobby's from Wal-mart.  And welll the first time it was washed it started falling apart and went down-hill from there.      It was beautiful too...before that.     And our sheets were litteraly in pieces.  So in preperation for having a finished bedroom we splurged on new bedding. 

  
  

  I NEVER spend that much money...and realize I didn't spend as much as a lot of people do...but oy was I feeling a tinge guilty.  Even if we did pay cash.....  But it looks SO beautiful    I'll take pictures and post them later probably.    Its only 7:30 in the morning right now...and I'm NOT awake yet.   Anyhow the colors are red/white/blue.  Which I know is a bit corny..but *I* like them.  The sheets, pillow cases, dust ruffle etc are navy blue.  And it looks really nice

  
  

  So I'm feeling ready to conquer the world.  I think the snow is a gift from God so I don't.  Because there's no way I'd take my babies out on the roads that we have today.  And IF there was no snow...I'd be out buying paint or something similarly stupid.    It feels SO good to be able to get to do again!!!!!

  
  

  Father God, I love you.  I thank you that you kept this baby safe.  I ask that things go according to YOUR plan and not mine.  I thank you for the snow...even if it wasn't in MY plan.  I ask today that the kids don't get too serious a case of cabin fever...and that we find ways to entertain each other.  In your sons name, Amen
