My snowglobe.

While the kids were doing this...

I was doing this...

My window was a snowglobe that I stared, mesmerized, at for hou... a long time.

This is precisely how I listened to church today- what with Z working and the Chicken Pox

making their appearance. It was beautiful. Church, not the pox.

The green parts are back to white by now. Bring on the snow, I say!

Just not the cold. I could go for

a snow day, snuggling with my kids all day long. Well, I'd be snuggled up

and they'd pry be outside. But I'd love one nonetheless. Pretty please?

And anyways, I deserved it. Not only is it the day of rest:

But I was feeling rather overwhelmed with everything. So I went

check, check, checkity, check on my to-do list.

Prepared for the holidays and took care of business.

And lifted some weight off of my shoulders.

So it was kickin' back time. You know when you do that- you also get

temporary relief from the weight. But it'll still be there when you get up, so

you still need to get up. It's not a permanent cure.

It is, however, just what the Dr. ordered for now.
