cabin fever

we are seriously losing it around here. it's only the 2nd week of january and there's a whole lotta cabin fever going on. so, the girls needed some play time outside...and i, well, i need some sanity.

i def need 10 minutes of no one asking for anything. and i just wonder...is that to much to ask.




and i know you wish you were hot like me...with my hot pink sleep pants and boots outside taking pics. you know my neighbors are like sooooo jealous!

here's wishing for a short winter...and please, someone send in some quietness. please.

I am SO grateful that we have NO snow - ugh.
I am not sure it is possible to have no one ask for anything - til they are all sleeping - uhhh - maybe not even then. lol

You and I would get along very well. I never seem to change out of my sleep pants unless I have to be seen in public. My own yard is not considered public.
Rebekah said…
I soooo understand where you are coming from. I can't wait to take advantage of longer warm days OUTSIDE
Cammie said…
I got nothing for you because Im in the same boat....if you find some quiet send it my way please
Karol said…
Oh I wish you nap time and quiet time! I feel your pain. My kids were BEYOND spastic (sp?) last night. I'm actually thinking of taking to the dreaded chuck-e-cheese on friday or monday. CAN.NOT.WAIT.FOR.SPRING.

That is totally me in the summer! I mean minus the boots and warm pants, of course. We get cabin fever and can't go outside for fear we will melt in the 115 temps!! Hang in there!

He & Me + 3 said…
I hear ya on the noise. I just want them to call me something other than Mom...somedays. Hope they had fun outside and you got a few minutes of peace.
Jen said…
Oh I know this song. I was going to take the kids out to play yesterday but no I can't b/c its like -40 degrees outside, ok maybe not that cold but you get the idea.
Ashley said…
I love all the pink snow gear! I hope you had a few minutes of peace.

Aileigh said…
That is a fashion statement I would make! :) I think we're kindred!
Kacey said…
Oh I am sure your neighbors will be rockin' that look in not time - especially after they see how sassy you look! :o) Glad ya'll got out for a minute. We're bouncing off of the walls here too!
Hi, I'm Ginny said…
Those boots are too cute. Wishing you some warmth!
Lindsay said…
Please send some quietness here, too. Oh, and why don't you stick in about 10 of your degrees...you know, so we can just be in the single digits BELOW zero. That would be nice about now.

At least your pants don't have monkeys on them. :-)
Heather said…
I wish I had quietness to send but I don't. Winter stinks! I'm so ready for spring already!

From the minute she entered the van at 2:45 today till an hour ago when I sent her to her room, my 8 yr. old must have said "Mama?" 40,000 times today.

Amen to the short winter! I don't think what I have is called cabin fever. What is it when all you want to do is stay home and hibernate?

random acts...GNO

over at GNO, there's a few of us who decided to challenge ourselves last week to perform a random act of kindness.   i talked with my girls and hubs about what we could do... we reserve some funds each month out of our giving to put towards a current or urgent need that we find.  i think it's important to let the kids see how we give as family...and they should be part of that decision too . as we were talking, and eating chinese...come on, you know there would be eating...i open my fortune cookie.  and this is it!! i was out getting a few minutes of alone time and decided to pay hubs forward by getting jiffy lube to do the oil change.  while i was there, i remembered how hard it was being a single mom.  i remembered that the little things, like oil changes, suddenly became bigger things and honestly, more expensive things.  *light bulb!!!* thomas rang me up for my oil change and asked if they had any scheduled appointments that i could pay for.  he looked at me a little odd...

sadness

on the way home from DD {{bc apparently there was NO preschool today for jk...it's no prob, really...we just rushed around and scrambled and got in the car and then when we got there and there was no school...well, there were tears...thus DD}} , there came a moment of sincere sadness in my heart. jk: " mommy, i want to look like brookie" "why sweetie? you are the perfect jada" jk: "i don't like my brown skin. i want peach skin like brookie" i just sank. does that not make ur heart want to break? a 3 yo is struggling already with her skin being different. then, this happened: brooke: "jada, god made you and he loves you. he does it all right the very first time" then, i think my heart grew three sizes . jada threw a big smile up on her face and said, "ok. god loves me" now, if we all could just do that. god loves us...he doesn't make mistakes...he makes perfect works of art. sometimes there are scratches in the art.

tuesday tribute---for tuesday

go blog yourself has been on my reading list for quite sometime...and so i really came to love little tuesday whitt and her whole sweet fam and became involved in praying for them in tuesday's battle with that stinky neuroblastoma . tuesday's parents are totally amazing...they inspire me! although tuesday went to play with jesus not so long ago, there have been so many people that are changed because of the courage and strength and honesty of the whitt family. on the day of celebration of tuesday's life, a number of folks who couldn't make it out to the funeral, took their kids on a 'wagie ride', which was one of tuesday's fav things. we all posted up our pics...shared our experiences with each other...and hugged our kiddos a little tighter. my kiddos wagie ride is here . from that precious little tuesday and her honorary wagie ride, a blog spawned...of course...and it is dedicated to nothing more than, in their words, "to keep track of lives touc
