And I have been swamped this week: The two snow/ice days we had on Monday and Tuesday. S and J took and wheels off of old skateboards and used them as make-shift snowboards. We took photos. We took walks. We dried socks and gloves in front of the fire. And I cooked both days - all day. What is it with being cooped up that makes us think we have to simmer and bake continuously for two days? Then trying to get back in the swing of things at school on Wednesday and Thursday - AS WELL AS getting S ready for his Gifted and Talented school trip to Sea World and Universal Studios. He left at 6:30 AM on Thursday. (Oh, and both guys got haircuts on Wednesday.) Friday was a teacher workday, AND I had to get last minute things together for J's trip to the mountains with a friend for the weekend.
So now... I have my Lilly P. travel mug full of yummy coffee. I am on the sofa and ready to blog. It's been almost a week... And my brain is void. Nada. Zilch. Zero.
I need some inspiration... Oh what to do? I'm thinking a relaxing pedicure is in order.
HOORAY.... You are back! I've missed you, too! (show us your cute Lilly mug) I am the proud owner of only (2) Wal-Mart mugs!
ReplyDeleteWe were out of school all week in metro Atlanta and we have Monday off for MLK Day. My 16 year is in xbox heaven.
ReplyDeleteWe missed you & are glad you're back! A pedi sounds perfect!
ReplyDeleteNice to read your blog again! Have a great Saturday!
ReplyDeleteI am so jealous Bevy that you have not one, but TWO snow days! I am still waiting for my snow day here in WI. We have had a ridiculously low amount of snow this year. We have a teacher workday next Friday so I am hoping to get a lot done in my room. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteYou've been missed, Bevy! Hope you have a lovely weekend :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you are back and the pedicure sounds like the perfect Rx!!!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you're back--now please save all your really great posts until the end of the month when we're back in town! Thanks for the link, too, sweet one!
ReplyDeleteGood-ness! You have been BUSY! At least you can say that you have accomplished a ton over the last week. I, on the other hand, spent six days stuck in this house and all I did was eat. Not so good!
ReplyDeleteI agree...a relaxing pedicure is the only way to go:) Glad you are well.
ReplyDeleteWow ~ you have been going non stop.
ReplyDeleteIt seems like since the start of the year it's been crazy busy. I guess it doesn't help that my husband has been gone since Jan 1st and I've been having all the fun of home, weather and classroom work all to myself.
I vote for kicking back and enjoying a pedicure and throwing in a glass of wine as well :)

Luckily our cold snap came during the holidays so the oven was already going but you are right something about hunkering down and staying cozy when it's cold outside and that usually means food on the stove or in the oven constantly. Now that it's been in the 80's we have popcorn for dinner!
ReplyDeleteHappy to see your post this morning! I figured that snow must have thrown you for a loop...trust me you are lucky that it only happens RARELY for you.
ReplyDeleteAnd I agree with JO, pedicure and wine...and maybe throw in a mani.
What is it about us that makes us cook and bake everything in the house when it snows? I do the same thing. It's fun and comforting while I'm doing it but miserable when I realize I've gained five pounds in three days!!
ReplyDeleteI think a pedicure sounds wonderful!
So glad to see you back in blogland!
ReplyDeleteA spa day is always a great way to relax. I find once my family is settled my brain works again.
