No Run, No GOOD Excuse

i'm wallerin'

yuk

well, there WAS snow yesterday...and the aftermath of wet, yuckiness today...

but what, really, is the excuse?

i missed wed's run which was the first mistake. couldn't get outta bed early enuff...

thurs i shoulda made it up but my neice came to stay all day and she came quite early...still dark....and snowing...no WAY i'd-a made it up THAT morn.

and then there was this a.m. well, i just stayed up to darn late to make it! and i could hear tires CRUNCHING on icy, broken up snowy stuff that had melted and re-frozen over nite...yuk! i think, when i go, i'll have to go in my old duckie snow/water boots anyhow. not a fun prospect!

after the late nite last nite and mommy not getting up, our WHOLE household was in bed till almost 10 a.m!!! unheard of! granted, both girls had gravitated to OUR bed sometime in the night ... so, for me, at least, "sleep" is a real loose term. more like, immobile semi-consciousness. and an UNCOMFORTABLE position i stayed immobile in, too! ugh! at about 7 when my alarm went off, i moved to dd's bed. tho a twin, MUCH more comfy than being in the midst of dd 4, dhubby, and dd 7! i'm serious, we all fit in there like a puzzle and there is NO moving around for the MOMMY! yuk and ugh! i wonder what dreams they musta had to end up w/ us this nite! ?

okay...so, here's hoping my saturday will include a morn. run. here's PLANNING an earlier nite. and wouldn'tchya know, i'm STILL playing around w/ a chest cold. dd7 had a unique thought this a.m...."maybe we're all sick cuz we stay inside all day long!" Well, truth be told, i AM sure to get us out most days at some point and i'm REAL conscientious about all getting exercise. so i nix that theory. we ARE planning to get our ducts cleaned out though. i'm thinking that can't hurt! it's a 30something yr old house. gross master!

have i told you lately how much i love my husband and love my children; love being a stay at home mommy and i LOVE caring for my household! even my housework i love! and now, i'm getting out Christmas stuff...wow, i sure have accumulated! we have a bigger house this yr...wonder if i'll be able to find places for everything. we've eliminated a t.v. entertainment center this yr...that was where a ton of the stuff was set for yrs. so, i'm thinking our downstairs windowsills will have to take up the slack.

JESUS IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON! (no matter what target says!)
