One Warm Hat and a Pair of Cozy Striped Socks

 

 

The hat is just for some extra warmth cause it is down right cold here today.

10 decrees to be exact.

and oh how about them cozy lookin socks as well.

have we talked about my cozy socks yet?

something tells me we haven’t and so I must begin to tell all…

 

My Cozy Striped Socks

 

My cozy striped socks

are all I need

they provide warmth

on a cold winters eve

 

No need for slippers

no fuss no commotion

just pull them on

and you will feel the lotion

 

i must confess

that altho the washer is working

I can’t keep em clean

cause that would mean

I would need to pull them off and then my feet would freeze which would cause my body to freeze I have no other socks like these,just this pair my sister-in-law gave them to me for Christmas they have not left my side since when I go out I wear big boots so others will not see my suppose to be… around the house only socks.

ahhhhh that felt good to just stop with the rhyming already and get this off my chest.

 

Have a good day…I will be thinking of you thinking of me in my cozy striped socks.

Fresh Tilapia Late at Night

 

What is this you ask?

Well, I will tell you what it is…

It is my dinner

No, not from today and not from two days ago

It was my dinner late, I say late last night

Stromboli was cooked for the kids and man of the house however I personally was not feeling it.

And one MUST be feeling it in order to eat right?

I got a bit sidetracked…did this and that and then another thing or two

and somewhere between the Stromboli cooking and this plate I ran to the store and bought me some fresh tilapia

I do believe it was about 10:00 when I did sit down to enjoy this.

and ohh the yummyness

the complete enjoyment of eating while kids are sleeping! ( I should do this every night )

Snowy weather

 

The snow is falling and coffee is calling u-hoo!!

It is lovely weather for a sled ride together.

Lets get-together and have a hot chocolate or two.

Ok I do believe there is a song along those lines right? How is it that I do not remember hearing this one during my constant Christmas music playing?

Should I play my Christmas music all over again? It just wouldn’t seem right tho…I mean, I can pull the music out loooong before it’s time but to play it the week end after?

nah, just not feelin it

For right now I plan to curl up on my comfy couch and read. (with 3 kids and a baby I hardly see my plan working but it is good to plan awhile )

Oh and I do plan to head outside and play…that I do see happening

I am like my Mom in that way…WE LOVE THE SNOW  You should have seen us on Christmas day. My Mom at 60 some years old and all the grandkids sledding down a big hill. IT WAS LOVELY     The man of the house was asked if he was going to join his wife and his reply was… Why would I put myself in that situation? All she does is scream when going down a hill. No thanks.

Haha makes me smile!!  If he is happy indoors I will be happily screaming down a hill. Anybody else wanna join?

snowy kisses to you all….

Short little things that mean a lot

 

I don’t know if it is wrong but it doesn’t exactly seem right to eat as much as I do over this time of year.

It all just looks and tastes so wonderful and then the fact that at most parties the food stays sitting out on the counter for the entire time just doesn’t make it easy on anyone.

sigh

At least I can say that as much as my belly feels full so does my heart.

Full of contentment

Full of joy

Full of love

Full of living

and I am sure it is…

Full of blood as well

Well I do hope each of you enjoy yourselves and those closest to you in the next couple of days.

Don’t fight

Forgive readily

brush your teeth often

say kind things

pick up the mess made ( wrapping paper, paper cups, toys and such )

Hug your Dad

Don’t say so much instead do a lot

smile, even if you feel some pain at the moment

and whatever you do DO NOT GRUMBLE OR COMPLAIN ABOUT ANYTHING!!

All of these may seem like little things but all of them mean a lot when acted upon, well, maybe not the “ brush teeth one” unless of course you struggle with bad breath.

Many Hugs to you and best wishes!

 

 

Sorry, There really was no time left yesterday for me to blog. none.

This and That

Free dog. must go to good home.
Why do people say that?  How do they have any idea whether the home is good or not when they come to pick up the free dog?
and do they say no to some people because they feel their home is not good enough?
Shoot, I would hate to be that person. I would scream and say “discrimination” Not that that would make them change their mind, actually I am sure by then they would not give free dog to me.
No, I am not picking up a free dog and no I am not giving away a free dog. I just have thoughts of it sometimes.  I mean, Nicky is sweet and all and is VERY well trained but…it is just that I have to let her out to pee at the most inconvenient time for me. I can never just let chicken set out on counter. ( I probably shouldn’t do that anyway) but nevertheless if I wanted to…I couldn’t
………………………………………………..
The traffic was terrible as I headed out to the airport tonight! I went to pick up my parents who were coming home from Florida for Christmas.
We ate at Bob Evans and I plan to eat only there when I go out for the rest of the winter.
For one simple reason…They have the heat turned on.
My Mom says they keep it nice and toasty because it is a restaurant where old people eat a lot.   Always listen on your Mom.  She knows.

This was Christmas 2008
 
I am wishing and hoping for snow like this for a couple different reasons…
 
1. so I can go sledding
2. So I can curl up in a blanket and look out the window.
3.So I can throw a snowball at the Man of the house.
4.So that Christmas day will feel more like Christmas day.
5.So I can shovel the driveway and lose a couple pounds.
6. I think I will stop here before my reasons keep getting more lame.
Happy pre Christmas week end to you!!  Like Chadwin says to people…
Have a sweet Christmas


I started this post at 11:53pm so I am counting it as the blog for Friday not Saturday. Good Lord who gets up and does things that early on a Saturday morning?

Magical and Dreamy Feelings

.

Somehow the sound of rain tonight makes me feel like we are at the end of summer, or beginning of spring. But it can’t be cause the Christmas tree is sitting right next to me ( I take it with me wherever I go throughout the house) Me and the tree – we are just kinda like that.   We stick together. There ain’t nobody comin between the tree and I.

I said nobody!

uh, I have never written before about how I feel about my tree have I?

Well we go way back…

actually we don’t because growing up my parents did not believe in the tree. Last I checked they still don’t. But that’s with them,  back to things about me.

I remember driving through the town at night sitting in the back seat of my parents car. How I loved looking at all the Christmas lights! I would dream of how I would decorate our house if I was allowed. 

I babysat for this one family and at night during the holidays I would sit right beside their Christmas tree until they would return. I don’t remember all that went through my head but I do remember feeling very magical and dreamy inside.

And now the day has come where I can have my very own tree. A very good feeling indeed. I now feel magical and dreamy all through the holiday season.

Is that a good or a bad thing?  ( don’t ask the Man of the house. He is not sentimental like that and I would hate for him to down play my magical and dreamy feelings. I would like to hang on to them until after the new year if I could.)

Like I tell my children occasionally when things are not how they want…For right now I am the Mom and this is what seems best in my opinion and then someday you will get to be the Mom and may do whatever you like.

  Have I ever written to you before about how I feel about my Great Aunt Ruth? No? Well we will save it for another time.

Good-night to you all, If I dream tonight I will rise early to tell you about it.

Dear God, Please let it be a good/nice dream. Amen.

 

 

 

 

 

aaahhhh I love reading the comment section.     I don’t want to look all desperate and everything. Really, I would blog all for just my self.      But I am just sayin, I like to read the comment section

Broken Promise

 

12:38am I awoke to feed my baby. Half awake and half asleep my mind wondered back over my day and what should I find but that I broke a promise.

I forgot to blog.

I nearly leapt out of my rockin chair to come blog only to realize the clock told me it was a new day.

A feeling of despair washed over me accompanied with a feeling of fatigue and a feeling of Joy because of Christmas approaching.  (The last two really had nothing to do with me blogging I just wanted to let you in on my feelings at that hour.)

I have been thinking all day of how to make it up to you. I found nothing.

So lets just say it never happened and go on with today as if it was today.

Hehe…it is today. I don’t make a bleep of sense now do I?

Blame it on the chips. That’s right – my hand is in a bag of Lay’s sour cream/cheddar chips. Do you mind?

My hand also went deep into the chocolate jar. Maybe I should blame it on the hand?

If I where to advertise for anyone it would have to be:

1. Lay’s potato chips

2. Hershey’s dark chocolate m&ms

_{(Grapes will be on the menu a little later on…I promise)}

Not that I expect you to believe my promises,it just felt better to see the word grapes somewhere with all my junk food.
