Reflection on a Winter Evening

  I decided to walk into the kitchen and I caught sight of an awesome white-out in my backyard.  If it weren't a Monday night it would be nice to sit at the kitchen table with my husband and talk and watch the white-out.  I love watching the wind whip through the trees. My backyard looks like an Agalloch album cover.   So, I'm sitting alone at the table sad that my husband has to go to sleep so early and Artemis has followed him up to bed to be super warm with daddy. 

I wonder if the squirrels who live in our yard are ok. I'll have to remind Mike to leave some corn for them.   There will be a ton of little footprints tomorrow from all the animals who will come to our pond to get the little bit of water that is not frozen.  I' m wishing for a snow day because I still have a bunch of things I need to do and I'd like to stay up late and watch the snow rather than be productive.
Here's a few pics I got: 

  

Thankful

It's been nice having a few complete days off thanks to Omax cutting back hours and I'm really thankful for that.    I don't want to go back to working two jobs next week,but such is life.  I've really enjoyed being home with Artemis.  He likes having a stay at home mommy.  It's been nice to catch up on some much needed chores.  Hopefully with these chores done I can function better. 

Our New Year's Ever party was a blast.  I can't help but be sad that the holidays are over.  Back to being super busy with the drama at school and dealing with the stupidity of Officemax.  Back to trying to spend time with Mike and my awesome friends who I just don't get to see very often. 

I'm hoping this year will be better for spending time with quality people.  I need to enjoy life a lot more and separate the stresses from work from spilling into my home life.  A definite separation needs to be made. 

I'd write more, but it's bedtime. 

Happy New Year!

2012 was a wonderful year in many ways.  It will always be special because it's the year I married Michael.  The year went by really quick.  I can't believe it's 1/1/13!!  Time sure does fly when you work two jobs!!   Hopefully I will have time to write a bit more and maybe write the script for Highbury Life 3!! 

I hope everyone has a great new year! There's always a bunch of changes I want to make in my life, but I want to concentrate on a few so I can be more successful. 

I have already made one change that I'm proud of.  Sometimes I just can't sit there and watch someone make the same mistakes and mistakes that will effect an innocent child. 

Happy New Year everyone!! May all your dreams come true!
