Another Cold One

And I'm not talking about a cold beer....bummer! 

Its another cold day in southeast Texas...ice and snow was expected so the schools shut down for the day which means Bella's daycare was closed as well.  Baby girl came with me to work...aren't we precious?

 

One of the other ladies in the office brought her girls to work as well.  We set them up in the board room watching movies, playing games, coloring, etc.  They were a great help with Bella. 

 

 

The day hasn't turned out near as bad (weather wise) as they anticipated, although I'm hearing the temps are dropping and there has been sleet and snowflake sightings.  Wouldn't hurt my feelings none if they told us to go home but I'm not going to hold my breath on that one.

 

I do wish I was snuggled up in my pajamas at home watching a good movie. Oh well.  Guess I'll get back to work, I've stretched my lunch as far as I can.  Y'all have a good one and stay warm!

 

Flippin' Cold

A nice little wintery blast made its way through Texas yesterday and left all of us freezing our butts off!  This girl has been enjoying it, but wishes some of the snow had made its way further south. We got rain.  And then it froze.  Well, some of it did.  It was enough for the school to delay start-up a couple of hours. Christopher was thrilled and had no problem whatsoever crawling back into bed to get some more sleep.  I cozied up on the couch with a quilt and coffee and watched the weather...until the princess woke up, then it was Disney Junior-yay me!  I'm not sure what I did...turned funny picking up my 5 year old to put her in the car last night I guess, but my shoulder killed me all night.  I didn't sleep for shit.  And let tell you, its hitting me about right now.  The 2-hour school delay allowed me to hang back so I could get the kids to school and get the heating pad on my shoulder.  It is the weirdest pull...can turn one way just fine and feel absolutely nothing but turn another and holy moly, I can't breathe.  Sucks to get old people.  (Okay...maybe I should just quit picking up and holding the 5-year old).  I will take this into consideration, just for my own safety.  Ha!

All bundled up ready to head out into the cold...

Icicles hanging from the mailbox...don't see this very often!

Me and the boy....damn he's handsome!

Monkey took this as I was driving him to school...Purdy dang cool!  Again, you don't see this very often in South East Texas!!

And lastly...this one doesn't have anything to do with the cold but last night I was digging through pictures and came across the picture on top of us kids with momma and daddy.  Tears fell.  I sent the picture to my siblings and my sister put this little collage together and posted it on Facebook. I stole borrowed it from her.  Family is what's important.  No matter what, they are always there.  Our family is close and I love that. I cherish all my time with them and I'm so very blessed that I can go to them for anything.  Love them more than my luggage!

Y'all stay safe and stay warm!  Have a good one!  Thanks for always coming back to see what I'm writing about. 

   

This Man

 

I'm sitting here thinking about this amazing man who has walked into my life. This man has made me feel more special in the last few weeks than any other time in my life.  This man treats me like a princess when I am with him, and stands tall and proud when he is next to me.  This man tells me every single day how beautiful I am just by being me and that I have flipped his world upside down in the best possible way.  This man takes my breath away every time I see him or when I recall a special moment we have shared.  This man calms me just enough to still feel the butterflies when he takes my hand as we walk together.  He is comfortable.  He fits.  He is gentle, caring, sweet, nurturing, hard-working and a jokester, but always respectful to me.  This man said it best the other day...."there is something about us that is shaping up to be an absolutely wonderful love story".  I have discovered with this man that butterflies do still exist and that it is very possible to find someone you are absolutely crazy about and who you miss the very minute he leaves you.

 

I think I'm in trouble....

 

#missyeveryday2014 Week 2

Can you say EPIC FAIL?!?  I knew this challenge was going to be difficult but I really wanted to give it a whirl because truthfully, I probably take a picture of something every day.  However, when it came down to choosing and posting, I became VERY picky.  Yes I know that's hard to believe but its very true...I'm picky. There I said it.  Aren't you proud of me? 

So I'm here to give you the second week...beyond that I failed miserably.

Day 8
Chicken Noodle Soup, comfy pajamas, quilt and Gibbs on TV.  Mommas was feeling like crap so I called in all my special things to help me feel better.

Happy 5th Birthday to my sweet Bella!!

So there you have Week 2 of #missyeverday2014.  I can't promise I'll give you anything past this point.  I mean, there are pictures and I posted them but I didn't label them so technically they aren't #missyeveryday2014. We'll see how I do...

 

Y'all have a good one and stay tuned for a post on my amazing prince.
