Winter Unpleasantries.

The weather outside is cold.  Too cold.  A snow storm is headed this way.  I am not a winter person.  Never was.  I don't like having to put on one layer after another and I do not like feeling the cold, crisp air beat against my skin.  It's not pleasant.  Not for me.  

I am so glad this week is almost over.  It's been a tough one.  We are all getting over being sick.  My husband had a bad cold and passed it along to me.  My son had a bad cough for a few days and now it seems to be draining out of his system.  Baby girl is coughing here and there and hasn't been napping well in the last few days.  In fact, she's in her crib fussing and crying right now when she should be sleeping.  I am not one of those moms who jumps to the rescue when the baby calls for me.  I'll wait and see if she doses off on her own. 

So as I wait for another load of laundry to finish drying and another load of dishes to finish getting clean in the dishwasher (two chores that are never ending) I'm sitting here on the couch drinking a cup of decaffeinated green tea while Matthew sits next to me playing a video game.  I'm doing my best to stay quiet in hopes that Brianna will fall asleep. 

Today the kids and I attended story time at the library and later today I will be going to my weekly Zumba class.  As much as I love being with my kids I do like that chance to get out and be among adults ... even if I'm sweating my butt off in the process.

I guess that's enough rambling from me.  Try to stay warm everyone ... unless you are already living in a part of the world where the temperature is already hot, in that case -- consider yourself lucky.
