The Ice Storm Cometh
So we’ve had an ice storm and yes, another school closing. At the first word of an ice storm of course my mind instantly goes to this.
Yeah I think in movies, tv and music. And though I didn’t love this movie when I first saw it years ago. I find the more I think of it the more I think it’s brilliant, if not for Joan Allen’s hair alone.
But I digress, the kids are home again, giving me the side eye like they’re wondering why I’m on the computer all day and not being miss happy mommy homemaker and pulling magic birds out of my butt or at the very least getting out there on the icy roads and taking them to the mall. As if.
Hey, they should be used to it by now . This is just another day mid-week in a little house in the middle of the street in Freshchester.

This is not a Musical
So it’s yet another weather related No School day today. Yeah, you can imagine how my kids are feeling.
Me? No so much. Stay warm and safe where you are.
Have a good one.

Just One of Dem Days
This is a late post for me guess it’s just one of those days which is what I told the DD when she asked how the day went. She tried to glamorize it in song with all sorts of angst and the sultry tones of Monica singing but I told her sadly, it wasn’t as deep as all that. It was yeah, just one of those days where the hours weren’t long enough and I felt I hadn’t gotten enough done but a few lines of writing, some freelance work and a bonus load of laundry. Yay, the glam life of a writer and stay at home mom.
But to make her happy, hey, I’ll play the song. Props to her for knowing it from 1995.
Happy Weekend!

Is This Getting Boring?
What’s Jack up to? Poor thing buried is in snow. Well don’t feel bad for him feel bad for me and the DH doing the digging.
I had to get the heating pad last night for my back and then we got over a foot more snow over night. But, Spring is coming we know it right, Jack?
Have a great one!

Raise Your Hands
It’s steady light flurries right now which seemed to have come a little earlier than expected because school is on today which is a good thing in my work world, but I’m hoping they taper off for the afternoon buses. More snow is expected tomorrow night which I really hope doesn’t happen since the next day the dear twins have a big test which may have to be postponed to June if they can’t get in in. Yikes. Fingers crossed there. This has been one tough winter.
I hope things are mild where you are.

Delayed Start
Not sure what to say about today. It’s a delayed school start due to yet more snow which I’m completely over by now. All these closures and delays have me delayed with getting on a normal track for the New Year. I’m still feeling out of line from the holidays and not quite where I should be yet. I know I’m not the only one judging by all the grumblings on twitter. Feeling like I’m having a delayed start. How about you? Let’s hope for some calm within the next few weeks. And then it will be Game ON! In the meantime… Happy Friday!

The 2nd Guess
How much time have you spent second guessing yourself? Well I don’t know about you but as for myself I’ve spent way too much time doing it.
Especially in my writing. I don’t know if it comes from doubt in myself, a lack of confidence in my work, or from the nature of the work and the fact that the fate of it is ultimately in someone else’s hands. I do know this though… second guessing is a terrible waste of time and in the end all it does is send you in circles usually back to the beginning where there was your true authentic self. The place you should have stayed when there was the first spark of excitement and your sprit was full of “I CAN do this!” and your mind had not yet been invaded with the evil critters of doubt and fear.
So my point today and I guess this is mainly for me as all these rants are: is to stay in the mindset of the starting gate. The “I CAN do this!” moment and don’t second guess. Time is way too precious. Happy Thursday!

Happy 17th Dear Twins!!
Happy 17th Birthday Dear Twins!! I can’t believe I’m actually writing that number. As I do, of course I’m telling myself not to cry but looking at these pictures from our trip to Disney World when you were just 3 years old it’s hard not to think of that as just yesterday and not tear up.
But I (well, we, both Dad and I) turn and look at you now and marvel at the young man and young woman you have become and we can only wonder at the truly amazing adults you will one day be. We are very proud of you both and blessed every day to have you in our lives.
Here is it only a few words down and yes, the tears are flowing freely. Sorry, guys, I can’t stop them. All I have to do is think of the never ending love I have for you both and my heart overflows. If there could be one thing I would change in this life. It would be to go back to just a few of these very precious days and slow them down a bit. So that I could hold you both tighter on that day. And tell you I love you just one more time to add to my tally.
Happy Birthday K & W! Enjoy the next chapter on the Journey Into Your Imagination.
Love Forever,
Mom and Dad
& That funny dog Jack too!
Snowbound
Happy Friday! I hope you all are doing great at the end of this snowy week for so many for us. Looking at the piled high drifts of snow and feeling the chill that now seems like it will ever go away I just can’t stop my mind from wandering to some warm far away isle.
I hope you enjoy your day and have a few warm day dreams.
Oh and please join me tomorrow for a little celebration!
Best,
Kwana
