Crayons and Toy Soldiers

I feel as though we are being forced to go into some sort of hibernation mode.  Although I'm extremely sleep deprived at the moment, I'm suffering from cabin fever and stir craziness!!  I know there must be some sort of sick conspiracy going on right now.  Someone has transplanted TEXAS to some crazy, cold Arctic place!!!  This can't be Texas; my home!!  We have been snowed/ICED in for a full week!  School has been cancelled this whole week.  I am NOT getting out on the solid sheet of ice where our roads used to be, once upon a time, so that means here we are, stuck in the house, with two kiddos and Cartoon Network!  There's only so much a gal can take!!!
On a positive note, the nasty, ugly, gross sick bug that had barged in and took over my little family seems to be on it's way out.  It hit me lastly, of course, after I pretty much got my two kiddos in the clear... I start running fever.  So is life!  But we are all doing MUCH better and mucus is on the decline and temperatures are stable!
My husband has been well (thank you, God) and has been making the long, precarious trek to work every day.  He is even having to work overtime (ya for the money, not the hours).  So, the kiddos and I are entertaining ourselves with crayons, coloring books and little, plastic, toy Army Men Soldiers!!  The total positive here is my kiddos are hilarious and are keeping me quite entertained...that is, in between their all out fights... Oh, Sibling Rivalry...that's another blog post, my friends...

Live, Laugh, Love...

Ahhh, the weekend!!  Most people LIVE for the weekends.  I have to say, I am one that looks forward to those days at the end and beginning of the week that are sit aside for leisure, relaxation, play and, yes, usually the place on the calendar that we pencil in all of our DIY, fix-it projects that need to be done.
This weekend, my husband had to work... Overtime = Bittersweet.  Love that overtime pay, but not so much the hours and the "not being together as a family" thing.  So, the kiddos and I have played extra hard to day and enjoyed each other's company to the fullest.  There was fun to be had by all, in between me playing referee and breaking up the fights that spontaneously break out of nowhere about nothing.... SIGH. 
I got to thinking about my two little beautiful monsters.  How my life is so full of meaning, adventure, blessings, cursings (hee hee), LAUNDRY, fullness, LAUNDRY, laughter, giggles, stories, LAUNDRY...  These two little bundles of joy have made my life enriched beyond belief! 
So, on this glorious, a bit chilly for Texas, Weekend, I hope you are enjoying the blessings that have been put into your life, whatever they may be.  Those people who make your life sweeter and richer.  Just don't forget to LIVE, LAUGH AND LOVE!!
