It's beginning to feel like winter!

I sit here and look out at our little woodland area and can see the first dusting of snow that we have had this season. We have rumors of freezing rain tonight and also starting this evening into Thursday morning we have a high wind warning. It looks like many areas of our country are feeling the chills of winter. Should I put something here about Global Warming? or is it Climate Change these days? Nahh, I'll leave that for the uninformed to talk about.

I had every intention of joining the gym this morning but I am so overloaded with laundry and can see that I am beginning to make a dent by now that I decided that I would wait until Thursday morning...after all carrying laundry up and down two fights of stairs is a workout!

My honey leaves for San Antonio tomorrow evening, I am wondering if the wind will affect his flight time? His company Christmas party is Saturday night and I am unable to go this year because Brittany is teaching 2 dance classes on Saturday mornings. We didn't feel like she should miss. With winter arriving any day I couldn't trust that my mom could take her because if it snows even a flake she won't drive. So, we decided that I would stay home this year and he would go...he is leaving tomorrow night as he has to go out there early for meetings. Boy, am I going to miss him (I am trying not to think about it). He will leave Monday morning from San Antonio for Reno and teach his last class of the year, so this is going to be an extra long week and a half for us. Brittany and I will manage to get into something to keep ourselves busy though.

First, we'll go back to the gym, 2nd, we'll spend Saturday afternoon with my mom and nephew and then church on Sunday...next week, I think we'll bake and put together our annual gingerbread house and then there is also Christmas shopping that we need to do. So when I look at things like that it won't seem so bad. We all just have to stay busy and focused on what we have to do until we are back together again.

Pictures are coming of our tree outing...they have been uploaded, now, I just need to go through them (they are pretty goofy). I plan on putting them up by Wednesday.

Well, I need to go and carry my last load of laundry upstairs to put it away...

Blessings!

  1. Joyce,
    I can completely relate! David just left today for Corpus. He has to train someone in the office there, which is where most of my family lives, however, Ted has to work and I didn't want to leave him here with us so far away. David's parents live right across the drive way, but we would have been gone for 4 days - 6 hours away - and I couldn't get a peace about that. Soooo...
    David left this morning and it's just me and the boys now.

    I'll post later today about how I'm not in the Christmas spirit right now.

    Debbie
