we have much snow.
this makes this mama happy.
it makes this mama very much happy.
i have children that are playing in peace.
oh, i take that back. a snowball fight just broke out.
but i don't care.
i'm warm in here.
i can't hear a thing outside.
have i told you that snow days make this mama happy?
oh so happy.
since it was a scheduled day off, we are now anticipating a REAL snow day for tomorrow.
i can remember, as a kid, laying in bed, praying my blond little head off that this would hear HC IS CANCELLED coming from dads brown, rectangular radio!! (sister, you with me? i think dad STILL has that thing! :)) growing up in West Michigan, we didn't hear those words very often. but when we did, wowsers, we made every min. of that day count.
the roads were usually closed in the little village of Graafschap so my siblings and the 22 neighbor kids would sled right now the middle! we would go inside to eat, otherwise, we'd spend the ENTIRE day outside.
kinda like my kids are now.
those must have been happy, happy days for my mother.
i love having them home but it's SO nice to be sitting here, in the coziness of my lazyboy, watching the DIY channel and listening to their laughter. this morning, during my quiet time, i gave God an extra big Thank you for my life.
i'm healthy.
my kids and hub are healthy.
my extended family and friends are healthy.
we are content.
we are comfortable.
we are Blessed.
