We’re
on our 3rd day of our 'Snowcation!' I’ve actually run out of
pjs to wear, so I’m gonna have to do some laundry.
My first project was the records drawers in our basement. Earlier this week, I worked on our taxes, so as I went through the drawers, I took out my tax returns from 2008 to destroy them; At that moment there was a lump in my throat as I realized there is only 1 more year that Joshua will be listed as my child. While he will always be my child, the IRS will no longer care. Ugh…it seemed like a “nothing” moment, yet, I felt those tears.
Stay Safe and Warm!
True to form, the local media
stirred panic with their week long special reports, “the sky is falling, make
sure you fill you house floor to ceiling with water, bread and butter”.
I’ve always wondered,
What can you do with
bread, water and butter?
My cart was filled with a
couple of steaks, a pot roast and some wine…that seemed more practical.
While others were panicked about being stuck at home, I was planning
romantic dinners, movies, and a contingency that if electricity gave out, a
cozy fire and candles.
Colleagues
outside of the area called to share their concern for us...so
sweet! I assured them, all was well. Couples and families will have
much needed time together….and the proof will be the baby boom in about 10
months.
Brad's car is a great decoration...it ain't goin anywhere!

I
pulled the car into the garage just as the snow started to fall. 24
hours later, it was still falling and the street disappeared. Brad left
his car out...here's what happened to his black car.
Brad and I shoveled 5 times on
Saturday, 3 times on Sunday, and today our goal will be to break
through the 4 foot wall that stands between us and the street.
I took this time to do a little
cleaning out.

Gotta snap out of it! I turned
my attention to some piles nearby and found some Josh treasures within.
School reports, artwork. What a gift!
I finished what I was doing for the
day and came upstairs just as Joshua's favorite football player, Peyton Manning
was on the tv celebrating his team's victory! We get to see Peyton
and the Broncos in the Super Bowl again. Oh my gosh, Josh was
would be doing a happy dance. I did it for him!
I
went to bed that night with my electric blanket wrapped around me and slept
like a rock.
When I woke up, I took Alex for a walk on the
street; The only spot to walk. Alex was so happy to
stretch his legs. It was a beautiful with the sun rising
upon our quiet street. I was alone with my thoughts when
I felt the urge to look up. Joshua's bedroom was
lit. We hadn't turned it on, so I knew that in
the stillness of the morning, Josh was taking the moment to say “Good
Morning!"
There is always music amongst the trees in the
garden, but our hearts must be very quiet to hear it. ~Minnie Aumonier
