SCHOOL CLOSED

I am so happy there is no school today. It will be fun to stay at home and look at all the ice around. I don't know why I am so excited for no school. I think I get to a time that it is just nice to not do anything during the day.

I went to the outlet mall in Williamsburg yesterday and that was great. My two friends and I had a great time. I can't wait to do it again. I even found the pants I wanted to get Neil for Christmas, Although he tried them on when I got home and they I should get a little bigger size, Darn I have to go to the outlet mall again. FUN FUN.

I feel bad when I look at other peoples blogs and they have great pictures throughout them. I have been trying to figure out lately why I am so technologically not with it. I think I have come to a little bit of a conclusion. When I was young my little sister always wanted to marry a doctor. Me, I wanted to be laura Ingals (that could be spelled wrong) I wanted to live on the prairie with a dirt floor house and raise chickens and so on. Also, things AMAZE ME. Like Cell phones, Cars, things like that. It just amazes me you can talk to people anywhere and when you drive you are sitting and hitting a pedal. I know this blog thing is making me seem nerdier and nerdier. But I have been wondering what my deal is with technology. So that right now is my deal. I want things to work right when I do it. I hate to have to figure things out. Maybe I don't have the time to sit and figure them out. Anyway, whatever. That is my thought lately.

Hope everyone is having a great before christmas feeling. I wish the best and safest holidays to everyone!!

Energy of christmas.

I think there is an energy about Christmas time. As I was getting Ridley off the bus today it was snowing and quiet. It is so quiet when it is snowing and there is something about it that really makes me happy. We have our decorations up and hopefully tomorrow I will get out and get the tree. We are really behind this year. We usually have it sooner than this. I love to sit in the dark with the christmas lights on and just sit. I have a big smile on my face just from the energy of the season. I am kind of a nerd but that is okay. It is a great time of year and there is only 2 weeks and 3 days of school until Christmas break and that is also exciting. No more making lunches, getting kids up, making breakfast, pushing kids to move faster so they can be ready for when the bus comes. Good times. I love christmas and everything that it is about and that great energy that you feel. Enjoy!
