Winter Days! Ending When?

When I was coming home from work it started to snow. Yeah! We were suppose to get 3 to 4 inches of snow. Here is some pictures of that three to four inches of snow. I decided that I would bundle Devin up and go outside and let him help his Dad shovel snow. Of course, Gerald had Marley helping him also. Devin loves it ourside cold or hot. Doesn't matter. So here are some of my pictures.

14 Proven Stress Reducers

I read this on my friends blog. This is something I think that we all need to know how to do. To reduce our stress. I know I do. 1. Procrastination is stressful. Whatever you want to do tomorrow, do today: whatever you want to do today, do now! 2. Allow 15 minutes of extra time to get to appointments. 3. Have an optimistic view of the world. Believe that most people are doing the best they can. 4. For every one thing that goes wrong, there are probably 10 or 50 or 100 blessings. Count your blessings. 5. Simplify, simplify, simplify! 6. Get enough sleep. If necessary, uae an alarm clock to remind you to go to bed. 7. Create order out of chaos. Organize your home and work space so that you always know exactly where things are. Put things away where they belong and you won't have to go through the stress of losing things. 8. Writing your thoughts and feelings down in a journal or book of remembrance can help you clarify things and can give you a renewed perspective. 9. Talk it out. Discussing your problems with your spouse, or friend can help clear your mind of confusion so you can concentrate on problem solving. 10.Everyday, do something you really enjoy. 11. Eliminate destructive self-talk: "I can't"..."I don't look good enough" ..."I'm not smart enough" 12. Allow yourself time everyday for privacy, quiet, introspection, and prayer. 13. If an especially "unpleasant" task faces you, do it early in the day and get it over with. Then the rest of your day will be free of anxiety. 14. Have a forgiving view of events and people. Accept the fact that we live in an imperfect world.

I can't believe it is February....

Time flies by fast when you are having fun. I can't believe that January just flew by. Now it is february. Alot to celebrate. Valentine's Day, President's Day, and the day I turn a year older. It is amazing how time flies by so fast. We get going in our daily lives, and I know that sometimes I forget the little things. So this Saturday I am taking my girls out for girls day. We haven't done that in along time. My kids are growing up so fast, that before I know it, they will be out of the house and on their own. It will be alot of fun to take my girls out, and just do girl things. Then my husband will have to take the boys out also. And have some male bonding time. Christopher will really love that. So I think that this will be the month of bonding and showing our love for each other even more so. Not that we don't do that already. But I think that we need to do something like this with our kids every month. Because I know that especially Taylor, who will only be with us another three years before she goes off to college, is growing up so fast.
