i know, i know...feb. hasn't been a blogging month for me for some reason. maybe i just can't get myself out of this winter funk that is eating me alive!!! we just got a huge snowstorm yesterday - i just curled up with a book and read while the kids did what they wanted. so now today it's a clean-up-after-a-day-off day.
valentine's day was nice. the kids thought their little dollar hearts full of chocolate truffles were the cat's meow. aaron and i got to go to dinner (well, we tried to go out - but the only place in town is olive garden and the whole population shows up for that. so we settled for dinner to go - aaron got noodles and co. and i got jimmy john's) then we watched mall cop (hillarious!). he bought me "hunger games" (a book that i've been dying to get my hands on - he knows the way to a nerdy girl's heart!!) and i got him the "fireproof" dvd (the way to a marriage and family therapist's heart). pretty mellow v-day this year...
other than that, it's the same old stuff. girls on the run started (yippee!) but we didn't have enough girls for the number of sites we had, so we consolidated them into one site. i bowed out from coaching (we *only* had 16 volunteers!!) anyway, that's fine with me because life has been insanity and i don't think it's going to get better anytime soon. kaylee is in it though, and that was my whole purpose with getting involved. she loves, loves, loves it! she has to wear her bandana (just like her mom) and her running outfit and she gets out there and runs her little buns off!
in a few weeks we're going for a couple days to wisconsin dells (indoor water park capitol of the tundra here). we're meeting the mcpheters who are in chicago (and wis dells is the halfway point between here and there). should be fun.
i really, really, really can't wait for spring. oh, for it to be in the 40s or 50s would be great!!! i'll try to be patient...Y
