This is really turning in to a long winter and it better end pretty soon before I break something, Seriously, I fell on the ice again on Friday night! In my own driveway no less. When I came home from work I just pulled the car into the driveway instead of into the garage because I was going to stop to see Trinity and then go on to a Stampede game in a couple of hours. I had kicked off two blocks of snow that had accumulated between the front tires and the mudflaps. (Another thing I love about winter) I figured better in the driveway then in my garage. When I went to leave for the game I decided to kick the clumps of dirty snow out of the driveway and lets just say it is not a good idea to kick something on a sheet of ice! So once again I have a sore butt. At least this time I did not hit my head. It just came to me that maybe I should not go to a Stampede game because the last time I fell I had been planning on going to a game the next night.
Getting up in the morning is also a challenge for me, something I never used to have trouble doing. Oh my gosh I have trouble getting out of bed some mornings and I am sure it is because of the weather. It is not like I hate to go to work, I mean I wouldn't mind staying home a couple of days a week, but I really like my job. Things have got to change. I hate getting up and rushing around to get to work on time. I would much rather get up take my time getting ready have a relaxing cup of coffee. I don't even get my bed made in the morning!
I have this thing about the bed, I hate getting into an unmade bed. Call me crazy, but if I don't get it made in the morning I have to get it done when I come home. I know, I know I am only a few hours away from getting right back in it. I realized the other day that for the past year I have had a queen sized bed all to myself and yet I sleep on one side at the edge of the bed. I guess habits are hard to break. I should just get a twin sized bed. The sheets are cheaper.
Maybe tonight I will live outside the box and sleep in the middle!

Valentine's Day
No flowers and candy for me today but I feel really lucky because I have 4 big Valentine's ( my kids) and 5 little Valentines ( my grandkids) and nobody could ask for more then a loving family. I think Valentine's Day is overrated anyway. Don't get me wrong I am not jaded about love, I still believe it and I hope I have someone to love me and share my life with again someday.
Went to see my three little girls tonight, they make my heart smile. Morgan is on the verge of becoming a teenager and that is so scary for me. I wish I could keep them all little and not let them out in this cruel world. Kylee is just a ball of energy, wish I had a fourth of it. She is just the most good natured little girl and so much her fathers daughter. Addison is the little spitfire with a mind of her own. She is absolutely adorable with her little pigtails in her hair and her cubby little baby waddle. I love them all so much.
I will see my other two little sweethearts tomorrow. I did talk to Trinity, she talks on the phone like she is older then her four years. She is a litttle sweetie. Did not get to talk to Austen and it is getting too late tonight. He is my special Valentine because he is my only grandson. Soon he will be eight years old. So hard to believe.
I may not have a Valentine to send me flowers and tell me how much he loves me but I have one of the greatest gifts God can give us, my kids and my grandkids and that makes me very lucky in love.

Catching Up
Where have I been? I did not realize it has been about two weeks since my last posting. I have been a busy women. For me that is a good thing. I finally had my first Signature HomeStyles Show last weekend! I have been spending alot of time getting ready, I had videos to watch, mannuals to read and getting questions answered. I just wanted to know as much as possible about all the products and the company. I got so much information my brain was on overload. With my head full of product knowledge and a feeling of excitement I took off for MN last Friday afternoon to Joan's house. Being the great friend that she is she became my first hostess on Saturday afternoon. Everything went really well and I know this is going to be a good way for me to get out and meet people. I spent the rest of the weekend in Glencoe. Sunday was Super Bowl Sunday and I had decided that I was not coming back until Monday. The game was fun to watch and it was nice not to watch it alone. I did pay the price though as my fears of traveling to MN in Feb came true. Monday the weather was crabby! The roads were certainly not the worse I have ever driven on but it was a long ride and I was very glad to see my place.
I am, like almost everyone I know, waiting very patiently (Not! it really cannot get here soon enough) for spring to come! I still have not decided if I am going to look for a different place to live before summer gets here. There are the pros and the cons. The thought of moving makes me think no I should just stay right where I am, but I really miss having outdoor space. What to do, what to do. I really like the space I have here and the location is great for me. Enough of that because when I start thinking about my living space I think about the house I left and I just don't need to go there.
Tuesday nights are spent at my support group. We are reading a book that I probably should have read a year ago but maybe I would not have been receptive to it. The scary thing about it is that I could put my name in the place of the names used in the book. I am beginning to realize that there is a light at the end of this deep dark tunnel I have been living in. I listen to some of those in my group and wonder if I ever sounded like them and I realize I most likely did. I have learned there are a lot of sad stories out there. The best thing is that I am starting to feel like I have a life to live again and that I do have a future. What it is I do not have any idea but it feels so good to at least be able to look towards it. That is not to say I do not have my bad days because I do and that is not to say that I do not miss him because I do but I am learning to accept the way things are.
