Do I even want to be like these people? I'm just too tired to try...

What? I'm tired after having two snow days, two partial days of work, and this one full day on Friday at work?  AND it's a three day weekend? 

You Betcha.

Only I'm not physically tired.  I am just mentally exhausted.  Ever been there? 

There are about a million things that I feel like I need to be doing, and probably time to get some of them done, but for some reason I just can't seem to get started.  Drives me insane...because then at the end of the day you didn't get ANY of it done, and I end up going to be feeling like a big fat lazy failure. If that's not enough, I waste my time (that I need to be accomplishing something) by reading blogs.  Now I know that these women are not blogging to make me feel guilty that my life is not more fabulous and they are mostly documenting the good things in their life almost like a grown up diary (that you actually want your little sister to read), but gosh.darn.it.  they are really good at making me feel like I've got some serious changes to make in order to be a good wife and one day actually raise a child! 

After reading about every one's wonderful redecorating and what not, I start adding things to my list...
I get bothered that my house isn't spotless
I get annoyed that I don't look around me from our 40 yr old love seat and don't see a wonderfully decorated house
Crap, I get mad at the love seat...why haven't I at least put a slip cover over this hideous pink that lived in my husbands frat house and is probably covered with who knows what.
It adds up in a hurry and that's just looking around in the living room...see what I'm getting at?

Let's not talk about all the fabulous craft ideas, recipes, and fashion advice....and HOW do you people always know to take a picture of the most random things. When I'm trying a new recipe the thought to gather all my ingredients on the counter and take an actual picture to show the blog world simply does not cross my mind...I just don't think about things like that. Period.  and I'm not crafty, I don't know that I want to be....

I'm just a little grumpy for some reason today, and this trivial little stuff is really getting to me.  Well, to be perfectly honest much deeper things are under my skin these days, but this is the stuff I feel comfortable complaining about.  Isn't that funny?  I would rather document this silly stuff than actually blog about the things that are really bothering me...my pink couch doesn't really bother me, I don't want to craft, or cook, or take pictures of flour before I use it,  I have no desire for my first thought to be "this should totally go on my blog/facebook" 

Instead I'm going to try to focus on the big things in life:
I'm someone's favorite person in the entire world
      someone's best friend
      someone's daughter (and daughter in law)
     
and for today that's going to have to be enough.

Snow Day

Alright, so I'm a bad blogger...I get so caught up in reading so many other blogs that I  never seem to update mine!  Add in the craziness of the holidays and there you have it, almost two months since my last update!  There's a lot I want to catch up on, but today is all about what's going on outside my window right now...

Apparently the state of Georgia has decided that we aren't part of the South anymore!  They warned us all last week that an extreme winter storm was headed our way, did we believe them? Well, at my house we didn't really take this warning to heart.  Seriously people? It's Georgia?!?! Yes we got some snow on Christmas, but I was in Alabama (Christmas post to come) and we just saw what was left of the snow when we got back. It wasn't much; but hey it's the South, what do you really expect? Let me tell you...we expected nothing like what we got last night!

This is what Justin's suburban looked like this morning at about 6 A.M.  Yes, I was up at six, for multiple reasons...first, I had to make sure that C and I weren't going into work today (duh) and second, I was kind of like a child on Christmas morning...so stinkin' excited about the SNOW!!!

I did however wait until the sun was up to venture out into the yard to document the neighborhood, and to play of course!! 

Pretty awesome, if you ask me. It would not have been nearly as awesome had any of the three of us would have had to get out in the snow today! Thankfully all the people and the dogs are warm and toasty in the house. Maybe later today I'll be able to get some good pictures of the pups playing in the snow because it's pretty adorable!  Nova gets so cold she can only stand it for a minute or two at the time. Brady, however, could quite possibly stay out all day and have a BLAST!  

Regardless of the cold, we might just have to get out in the yard and make an Auburn snowman! 

WAR EAGLE!!

Here's a couple more pictures of the neighborhood...Enjoy!!
