Yes it has been a while since I have posted. I have been in one of my wonderful fibro fogs and haven't been sleeping too well but am going with the flow and still trying to think positive. I had been complaining for some time that we hadn't had anything in the way of snow and wanted my snow because it was supposed to be winter, yes I like snow. Well we managed to start getting hammered a little over two weeks ago and hasn't really stopped until yesterday. We have also had our temps drop drastically to where until yesterday we were also under a wind chill advisory because at times with the wind chill our temps were -20, now as I said I like my snow and all but really hate the cold. I get cold to easy and being spoiled with all the above average temps and then dropping to this makes it even worse. YUCK. Well we have probably anywhere from 3-4 ft here now. The lake is now freezing so we are pretty much in the clear for the time being for any more storms right now. There have been lots of accidents in the area and a couple of close calls for us. But we are safe as I attempted to use the passenger side brakes ( they really don't work) and said my prayers to keep us safe.
Unfortunately due to all the cold my son Andrew is have some trouble with his asthma and is home from school today due to having to be close to his nebulizer and needing his treatments, and he is coming down with another cold. Then got a call from the High school that my oldest, Chris was sick and had to go get him so this is the sick house for the last few days.
Justin who just turned 14, boy do they keep growing and getting older on us, is now training for football next year, he just got done wrestling for 4 years and switched up on us. Goodness it took me awhile to get used to the wrestling and worrying about him, this is going to be even harder. Try not to let him know my worries, I tend to be a worry wart. I encourage them to do what they want and to do their best and have fun.
Jenna has just had me watch Cinderella about ten times in the last couple of days, lots of coloring and our latest game is Uno to help teach her colors and number recognition. Although she is still stuck on her ducky game where all the ducks go around in a circle and you have to pick the ones with the matching color on the bottom to match your color of pad.
Kaitlynn keeps practicing her cheers she learned at cheerleading camp and continues to want to be a cheerleader, which is still a ways off yet. She is writing lots of stories and is actually doing rather well with her writing. I wouldn't be surprised if she ends up being a writer someday. Yes I know I'm a bit prejudiced but she is good :)
Scary but Chris is going to be 17 in a few months, and Steven has taken him out already before the weather got bad to start teaching him the basics of driving. Chris just hasn't been ready for this yet because of his ADHD but he is getting there and his first time ( which was in a big parking lot) he did do well. I'm just not ready to accept that my baby is getting this old yet, where did all the time go, it seem like only yesterday that he was just being born and being put in my arms. He has is issues but what kid doesn't, but I have to say I am so proud of him as he is beginning to sit down with me and actually shows interest in wanting to study the bible with me and asks questions and is involved in the church. He is very eager to help others as soon as he sees they need help. And of all things he's not even embarrassed to give his good ol' mom a kiss and hug good night or bye while other mom's complain. He's really a good boy or guess I should say young man.
As far as my crocheting well slowly I am working on my test for Anna, getting there and almost done after having to frog the whole thing (well one part of the set), made a baby hat just to change things up a bit, worked some on my 12" squares for the swap over at Lullabies and Lace and some 6" squares for Online Angels. But over the last weekend have done a whole heck of alot, the cold has gotten to me and have just done a little at a time and then snuggled under my blankey on my couch, snoozing or playing games with the kids.
God Bless all and hope all are doing well.
CONGRATULATIONS TO MELANIE ON HER BABY BOY!!!
