My daughter is amazing

Even when I am having the worst day, she can cheer me up. Today we were driving home and she started to tell me a story. "Mommy, do you know that I have a monster? He is really big, and he goes under the ground and takes you anywhere you want to go. And you ride in his mouth. But you don't sit down, you stand on his tongue. Did you know that? And you take off your shoes so your feet don't hurt him." It was adorable. I had to call her Daddy so she could tell him the story. Her imagination amazes me. I am so incredibly proud of my little girl.

I just did something stupid

We have an ice storm moving in, but I really needed to run into town for a couple of things I forgot just in case we loose power. We hadn't gotten any precip yet when I left the house, but before we made it to town five miles away, the roads were getting slick. I didn't even go all the way into town. We turned around and headed home. I knew better than to go out, but convinced myself I could beat the storm. Not a smart move.

I am so worried about Wade today. He drives a truck, and is still 150 miles from home. His company is really good about not sending them out when the roads are bad, unless there is something that just has to be done. I'll be anxious until he pulls into the yard.

Living in BFE

I love that I live in a town of about 60 people. I love that I know every single person within a 5 mile radius of my house. What I don't love is having to drive to three different towns to get a prescription. My husband went to our doctor this morning in a town about 30 miles away. He didn't have time to go get his prescription, so I offered to do it. I drove the closest town, about 10 minutes away, and the pharmacy didn't carry what he needed. I had to drive an hour in the other direction to go get his medicine. It has been a frustrating day.

My brother is home!

I love having all of the family together. My brother is in the Air Force, and he only gets to come home a couple of times a year. Chey loves having her two cousins to play with. This time Justin brought his brother in law and his girlfriend and son. They fit in just like part of our family.

I am tired of painting

When we bought this house, we knew that it had to be painted. I was excited about how good it would look when we finished. I just expected a little help to get it done. And I can't even be mad at my husband for not helping. Between work, and recovering from his wreck he just hasn't been able to. I guess I need to just suck it up and finish so I can move on to another project.
