Today is the third day in a row we have been out of school because of the winter weather! Blowing, drifting, large amounts of snow… I confess. I’ve been missing lots of moments because I have been frustrated with the whole thing. I hate having my plans messed up and postponed, don’t you? I miss my time to get things done. I confess I’ve been less than embracing of these days. Hoping that today will be better. Praying today will be better.
I did brave the weather and go out driving both of the past two days. Getting out of our lane proves the most difficult task! The snow plow just keeps filling it back up after the neighbors clear it out!
Yesterday, the boys were getting a little rowdy, (imagine that!) James was bugging Zach. Zach was howling… “MOOOOMMMMMM!!” see the legs around Zach’s head, those belong to James.
My best defensive weapon on saving my younger son from my older son’s attacks, proved to be my camera!
So, James continued to torture his brother, with a blanket over his head, you know, to hide his true identity!
I am sure, annoying as it is today, I will miss the days of them rolling around on the floor, torturing each other, screaming… yeah, there is something in that to miss… mostly just that it is all done in fun, and because they really do love each other and get along very well. That, I am thankful for. That I will miss, as these days pass…
But, remembering my new theme…
Don’t cry because it’s over… smile because it happened… –Dr. Suess
I’ll try to remember that today, when they do it all over again!! ;)

It's a hard balance, isn't it? Treasuring the moments, yet not being sad when they're over. I struggle with that balance a lot. I hope all gets back to normal next week. We haven't had one full week of school in January. It's time...it's past time. I love having my kids home, but when it's unexpected I can't get anything done. For me, it's all about control--I want it! I at least want the illusion of it. :)
I will miss those moments too. Mine are constantly wrestling. I always worry about someone poking an eye out, but other than that...it is all fun:)
Hey Pam,
Thanks for hosting this great carnival. I love it!
I can't wait to see everyone else's moments. Mine is up!
Have a great week,
Pam
Yes, and I really hope they go back tomorrow! That was long enough!
Hope, hope, hope...
