Well winter is here in southwest Wisconsin. Our yard has about 7 inches of snow from 2 storms and the boys are in heaven! I don't think there is a square foot of untrampled snow in our yard-LOL!
We've been healthy for about 2 weeks now. A small victory since the flu is running rampant here. The boys are back into the routine of school/daycare every day with no whining about staying home. Thank goodness; it's next to impossible to get ready for work all the while having 2 whiny butt-boys crying about not wanting to go. And I'm not a morning person at all. I have been hitting my snooze button at least twice each morning just to eek out a few more minutes of peace and warmth in my bed. Sunday the meeting was cancelled due to the snow and Jerod took care of the boys so I could sleep. I didn't get out of bed until 9! Can't remember when I did that last.....It was great!
I've been tanning at Courtney Chitwood's tanning salon-Endless Sun. They opened up Jan 2. I haven't been this tan in years. It's like therapy for me. Somehow, tan fat doesn't look as bad as pasty white fat, ya know?
Kieran has started drawing still life objects-in a very surreal aspect, of course. But last Friday he sat at the dining room table and drew one of the stools at our kitchen counter. After he started describing what the drawing was of, I could make it out. Funny kid! He really is into writing words and then asking me what they say. Last Sunday he copied the years' text on the wall in the Kingdom Hall during the meeting. I was very impressed. Is it normal for an almost 4 year old to be writing this much? I can't remember Cayden being into letters this early.
Cayden's love right now is Monster Trucks. Monster Mutt, GraveDigger, Maximum Destruction are among his favorites. I've had to educate myself in this completely different genre. Not an easy task. He also likes to watch racing and car shows on TV. That's my boy-all boy!
Jerod is starting a new treatment on Monday. He is going forward with the Spinal Decompression procedure. The first 3 weeks he will go 4 times, then 3 times for 2 weeks and then 2 times the last week. We just decided to bite the bullet and pay for it however we can. I need to have my hubby back. He's to the point where he needs help getting his socks on and off, shoes, too. He can't pick things off the floor unless he drops to his knees to get it. And I know he is in alot more pain than he lets on. So something needs to be done. I pray that he will get relief with this treatment.
My mom, Jessica and Carrie and I got together last Friday and had a day of stamping and scrapping. I made several cards, and the other girls worked on their scrapbooks. Meanwhile the kids all played well together. I really like stamping, and can see myself doing lots of cards if I have time.
Sorry it's been so long since I posted. I wish I had a digital camera, I know that I'd post more if I had pictures to include. Someday...someday...
Tonight it's back to work at Arthurs for lobster night. Hope to make some decent $$. Boy I know I'll be dragging tomorrow a.m. Ugh...
Everybody out there, take care! - Shannon
