Yikes

About time for a post...sorry for the delay.  It might be a while before this happens again. Life's priorities are way different than I ever imagined they ever would be.  Good or Bad, they just are different.

I hope it's not too long...

Mardi Gras

Fat Tuesday today.  It will be a rude awakening tomorrow, for those of us that are planning to "do Lent" this year.  I might be paving the road this year, but I'm going to give it a good shot.

Everyone in our house really needs spring to get here ASAP.  We've all been passing some sort of cold/flu/sinus infection/crap around for the past month or so.  It seems to be getting worse.  We need to open the windows for a full day and change out the air.  A good dose of sunshine on our shoulders wouldn't hurt either.

I've noticed some song birds singing in the morning the past few days.  I'm not sure if they've been there all along and the earlier sunrise is bringing them to my attention or if they're just now coming back for the season.  Either way, we are both calling for the same thing. Come on Spring!!

Hibernation

Yep, still winter.

Back at it

 

Today is the Epiphany, when the three wise men finally made it to the manger to visit Jesus. They brought him gold, frankincense, and myrrh. If you google "frankincense, myrrh, cancer" you'll get a lot of hits. I'm not sure what's real and what's not, but wouldn't that be something...

I thought we might make it through this Christmas season with Madeline still in the believer camp. We almost made it. She heard something about five days before Christmas that ended that part of her life. I admit, I did grieve that news a little bit. Innocence lost is lost forever.

It's back to work and school for us all tomorrow. The dog will finally get his peace and quiet. I took my last daily nap today and I will miss that immensely.

Noel

Not sure what Noel means, but it sounds festive. Happy Noel everyone. I hope you have a great Christmas and New Year. The holidays are fun and I love having the time off of work and with my family.

Seven

The leaves have changed and have fallen. Winter is on it's way. I'm hoping for a long, warm, dry fall, followed by a short, warm, dry winter. Lately though, it seems like the things I hope and pray for go the opposite direction. I'm starting to wonder if I'm wasting my time.

Seven more weeks until Christmas. Nineteen weeks until Spring.
