Anticipation...

Half inch on the ground and your what??????? Calling off school, you 've got to be kidding.
Anticipation...expecting, wondering with joy or dread. It is in all how you view it. Kids-joy, moms and dads that have to work or get that last minute stuff done-dread.

Well good thing that I don't feel either right now. There is nothing that I have to get done. I do need help with the snow and my house needs an overall good cleaning. Six extra hands not so bad? Or is it? Time to spend some extra time with them because we have been so busy with life. Plan on snuggling for awhile and then shoveling out. Got to work at 11 but hoping the center will be closed. Hope to get to a snow hill too. Working out today will be shoveling and sledding.

Looking ahead to the holidays and planning (cause that is what I do). Trying to fit in all of what I normally do and accommodate what Joe does too. Seems to be working. Alot to organize and remember. Glad for the most part, that our schedule is pretty much mapped out since it has been seven years now. Seven years, wow hard to believe that it has been that long. I wonder if the kids remember it any other way? I know that Car does not because he was only two but I wonder if Casey can even recall? Boy it makes you think. Have you created those "special" memories? Will they look back fondly on them and tell their children?

I remember waking up to all these packages in newspaper. We would go through and sort them by names. And somehow they all seemed to be even. No one really got more than the other. Except the year HE came along. I think I definitely got more that year. No wonder I am in therapy now. No just kidding mom and dad. I think I turned out fine- no great!

Hmm wondering what it will be like in ten yrs? Traditons will change. Kids will be grown. Circle of life continued. Pondering on a snowy day. Ahhhhhhhh
