No food in this post today . . . sorry, everyone!
I have to say, trudging around all day in a foot of snow is exhausting! (I can't imagine how I would have felt, had I been four years old!) Needless to say, we didn't last very long outside today, but boy was it FUN! Sledding, snowball fights, shoveling a huge pile of snow for climbing, and looking out into the woods at all of the frosted trees. Beautiful! (And so sunny, too!)
I have noticed, since I started my job almost two years ago, how connected I have become to the weather and the seasons. I have started to discern different "types" of winter, snow, rain, cold, sun, etc. I have also become more able to know when the seasons were going to change, (and when we have the last, mid-March snowstorm of the season,) and stuff. It's kind of cool, being that hooked up to nature. And the weirdest thing? I think I wore my winter jacket maybe four or five times all winter long. I'm all about the layers.
Next week is spring break, and I can't WAIT! It's going to be a nice balance of relaxing and hanging out with friends:
Saturday: I actually have to work, sort of. I volunteered to flip pancakes at the Member Pancake Breakfast, but not until 11:15, so I have plenty of time to sleep in.
Sunday: Nothing, other than church
Monday; visiting Chelsea and Olivia!
Tuesday: the big party day! (doctor appointment, dentist appointment, eye doctor appointment, and vet appointment.)
Wednesday: Nothing, other than church choir rehearsal
Thursday: drive to Milwaukee, and once I get there, have dinner with my parents
Friday: hang out with my Mom (I think we're going to the zoo,) and then have dinner with my friend and former coworker, Jess! I'm so excited -- I haven't seen her since Thanksgiving!
Saturday: drive to Chicago with my parents for my cousin's wedding, then back to Milwaukee, then get in my own car and drive home (this could prove to be a busy day . . . )
Sunday: Nothing, other than church.
Whew! That week is going to FLY. But I need a week of (mostly) fun! (Not that work isn't fun . . . I just want my own kinda fun, for a change. Four-year-old fun is great . . . but I'm not four years old!)
Well, the dinner dishes from last night are shouting at me, so I better get in the kitchen and wash 'em up. Later!

Hi there! It's Midweek Munchie Time! Let me know if you participate!
:)
Your Spring Break doesn't look like much of a break! LOL! You look BUSY! But it's your kind of busy & that's all that matters...ENJOY! :o)
Yeah, it will be busy. Unfortunately, we only get so much time off, and the rest of the staff in my classroom has been gone A LOT this year, and I just can't justify taking a morning or afternoon off just to go to the dentist. Hence, my vacations get crammed full of appointments and visiting friends who live far away. This summer though . . . one of my good friends and I are planning on an exciting vacation!
