Wow it's a Winter Wonderland Outside!!!!!!


Woke up to a beautiful, white snow this morning!! It is sticking to the trees and my dogs look like they don't have a clue what to do! Of course, we do not have school today and probably won't the rest of the week since it is not supposed to get out of the low 30's all week and in the teens at night here in Tennessee.

It looks like we might have 6 inches of snow right now and more on the way between today and tomorrow!! I wish the girls were still small and were home to enjoy the day out playing and sledding in the snow. When they were growing up, we just did not get that much snow at all and they got to sled very little. Oh well, maybe they will find friends to sled with in Cookeville and Murfreesboro today and get to enjoy it ;)

Everyone stay warm and enjoy some hot chocolate today!

For today.......

Outside my window.... Beautiful snow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! About 6 inches!! and still going strong!

I am thinking.....hot chocolate would be good right now!!

I am hearing.....nice and quite

I am thankful....that I have a job (teaching) that when it is bad weather I do not have to get out and drive in it like many people do. I hope everyone stays safe!

I am remembering....what fun I had when I was younger sledding down the hill in the back of my house!

I am wearing.... Still in my PJ's!

I am going....to start on my new sewing project for a teacher at Lauren's school. Fixing her curtains!

I am hoping....that we have some snow days from school next week! (looks like my wish from last week has come true!)

One of my favorite things......Being snowed in and can't go anywhere! (same with this comment from last week! I am def snowed in!!)

Around the house....All is quite here now. Leah went on back to Cookeville last night with my encouraging. I was afraid that she would not make it back if she waited to go sometime closer to Thursday when her classes start! So glad she went on back for sure!

I am praying....that everyone stays safe if traveling in snowy weather today!

Around the house....youngest daughter will be leaving this next week to start college classes again! Sure has been nice having her around for a few weeks. Guess it will get nice and quiet again.

Happy 2011 Everyone!!


I hope that everyone had a wonderful New Years celebration! I am very thankful to have been able to ring in another new year and I am looking forward to great things this year for me! I have decided to try and start a daily journal on my blog. I don't know if I will be able to do it everyday but I am going to give it a shot. We will see how hectic things get when school starts back and how faithful I am to doing this!!

For today-----

Outside my window -- it is raining heard some thunder around 2 am and 5 am.

I am thinking-- about how this year is going to be so much better than last year

I am hearing -- nothing much right now dogs are quiet and resting outside

I am thankful -- to have my family who has been my rock for the past 6 months

I am remembering -- to treasure the little things

I am wearing -- a shirt and shorts (yes it is on the warm side here this morning in TN.)

I am going -- to try and declutter some today since it's the new year and get some school work done

I am praying -- that all those who continue to hold grudges will learn to let go and live their lives to the fullest Life is too short!

Around the house -- finally have all the Christmas decorations put up until next year!

One of my favorite things -- Couponing and saving money!
