Snow day!

I freaking slept in this morning! It was the best. I SO needed it. I am a tad bit burnt out with too many projects going on and not enough hours in the day. I’m sure you know exactly how I feel. Those few extra hours this morning made me feel like a new person.

Because of the snow, everything we had to do today was cancelled. WE HAD NOTHING TO DO! Yes, I am yelling. This is some that never happens. Our weekends are usually filled up with activities, birthday parties, and running around leaving us wondering where the weekend went on Sunday night. Sometimes a good snow day is just what we need.

The kids had a blast playing outside. Their friends came over to go sledding, and lots of hot chocolate was had by all. We ended the day with the kids favorite baked ziti for dinner and banana bread for dessert. Jake and Chloe are exhausted and are fighting about which movie to watch for our family movie night.

Living in New England I am used to snow days. Prayed for them when I was a kid. As an adult I find myself enjoying them just as much. Do you have snow days where you live? Do you love them or dread them?

Happy Birthday to my two favorite guys.

In the last two weeks we celebrated two birthdays with a Toys R Us shopping trip,
and a family dinner at Osaka.

I love celebrating birthdays. I love celebrating my family.

I married the best guy ever.
I hope Jake grows up to be just like him.

Happy Birthday Jake and Kevin!

My favorite time is AFTER the Holidays.

I haven’t posted here since before Christmas. Yes, I know. The horror! The truth is I didn’t have the time or the energy. My whole family came down with some never ending sickness right before, through and after Christmas. I was sick for over three weeks. It was awful. Of course life doesn’t stop when you are sick, so I still had everything to do. It is of course THE busiest time of the year. Had to get ready for the Holidays, attend all of the school Holiday parties and music concerts. All the while hoping my head did not explode. Because I was convinced at any moment that was going to happen.

We had a really nice low key Christmas and New Years. By the time we left for Coco Key Water Resort we were all feeling better and ready to have some fun. I rang in the New Year with an overwhelming feeling of happy. I am at a great place in my life. I have a list of goals that I can’t wait to get started on. I know what direction I am going in, yet I have no idea where I will end up. LOVE THIS FEELING.

We are back on our schedule, which we all do better on. I feel like my head has been lifted from the fog. I am totally ready to ROCK 2012.

Who’s with me?
