I hope everyone is enjoying this time. I am seeing a lot of posts about being bored, cabin fever, ect....I totally get what you're saying, but I don't. I cannot even think of the last time I was bored! (yes, I have a toddler...)
I think we are all so used to going through life at a fast pace and not enjoying down time that we don't know how to relax or just "be". I hope you will take the next few days or hours that you are secluded to think of your blessings and be aware of your surroundings. Maybe God gave us this snowmageddon, snowpocalypse, or snowthunder to let us rest and just "be". Now, don't get me wrong, my kids were loud and stir crazy today and I was slightly annoyed. But then I was reminded of the song "It won't be like this for long" and the lyrics in the song. It always makes me cry.....(shocking, I know)......You see, my Zoey will be 8 in 16 days and I was just pregnant with her the other day!!!!
Hope you're all safe and warm. Make some Paula Deen snow ice cream and chill......
So true! I'm glad for the opportunity to slow down and read my first book of the year...or the first one in quite awhile. This was always my favorite time to read Little House on the Prairie because they make snow candy...so many adventures in imagination! Snow ice cream is on the menu tonight! Enjoy the kiddos while you are snowed in.
ReplyDeleteI was totally expecting to be nuts these past three days. I have realized that I think will is ready to leave ME and not the other way around. They were both screaming bloody murder this afternoon, and I couldn't help but laugh. :) If I decide to go to work tomorrow I will really miss these little punks. :)
