More snow...

Thank goodness it's friday. It's been snowing non-stop all day and I don't think I could muster the energy to trudge the snow-caked sidewalks another day....at least until Monday. Everyone here is tired and a bit grumpy so the weekend couldn't come at a better time for us. We need to reenergize.

I'm having a Bridget Jones kind of day. I've been thinking about everything in terms of numbers today. Here's my diary list.

Number of walks to school: 3

Loads of laundry to do: 5 (at least)

Weight in pounds: 5 less than before

Pages written: 0

Now, hopefully I'm not as neurotic as Bridget Jones, but I do appreciate her simple (yet obsessive) way of looking at things. It's easy to see how life fluctuates on a daily basis when you think in numbers....sometimes for the good, other times not so much. For example, the 5 pounds lost in weight completely makes up for have a mountain of laundry to do and the fact that I've basically written nothing this week. Thank you Bridget for offering a bit of perspective. Now I want to watch that movie.

On a whole, I say it's been a very good week. It was literacy week at school and I had to make a yellow cat costume for Isabel to dress as her favorite book character. It's a testament to how far my sewing skills have come because I busted her costume out between the hours of 2 p.m. and 11 p.m. the day before she needed it. That time included picking Cole up from school, making dinner, eating, and washing the dishes. Not bad at all. Here she is:

She loved it so much, she even wore it to bed. I love kids.
