Ok, so I am trying something different!

I, like so many other people, made some New Year's Resolutions! And no, one of them wasn't o lose weight, although one was to be a fitter, healthier person! One of my resolutions was to blog more often! Once a week.
Now, I realize that I am two months behind on this (already!) but I have decided to set aside some time every Thursday to do a post about what we have been up to for the last week.
I think that I am just gonna lay out what has been going on in the last week versus the last two months!
Last Saturday, Dan and I went to a Jaycee Barn Dance! We had a great time with out friends, Walter and Chanel Smith! We danced together which is something we haven't done in a long time! And afterward, we went over to the TA truck stop in town, that yeah isn't the most glamorous place but man they have some great food!! I had Sunday off from work, so we hung around the house and cleaned!! Of all the things a family can do on a Sunday, we spent the day cleaning! But man, we really needed to! We tend to be on the go so much that the house doesn't always get the deep down cleaning as regularly as it should so..... that was what we did!
The best day of all this week was Tuesday! And I say this with all intended sarcasm! Tuesday was my last day off for the week and I really was planning on enjoying it in my quiet house with the children at school and Dan at work........ well that's not what happened! We were woken up at 5:58 in the morning to the phone ringing... it was the school calling (with an automated system) to tell us that our precious little pride and joys were not going to be going to school! WHAT you say!!! Yes, we got roughly 8 inches of snow and my peaceful, quiet day was now shot all the way to you know where!! You know, and because they are kids, after breakfast, they just had to go outside and play in all of the precious white stuff that we rarely ever see out in our neck of the woods! Skyler couldn't find one of his gloves, Emma Lee was trying to go out in jeans with holes in the knees, everything was falling apart very quickly!! I gave Skyler one of my gloves, and finally wrangled her into another pair of pants, so that they could finally get to go outside in all the precious white stuff! Out they go....... 5 minutes later, they were trying to come back in because they were cold!! Well, yeah silly, it's snow!!!No... get back outside for more fun because it is all going to melt tomorrow! Yup, that was my response to them! And so out they go...... 25 minutes later I was able to coax them back into the house for some hot cocoa and dry clothes! They loved playing in it once they were so cold that they couldn't feel anything anymore!! It was wonderful to see them so happy... but true to form, the weather swiftly turned better on Wednesday, and the snow was all gone by 2:30 in the afternoon! Gotta love West Texas!!
Yesterday and today were really very quiet days without much to talk about! Nice, huh?! This morning was a bit of a whirlwind because ther seems to be no way that I can leave my MOPS group on time to get Emma Lee to school and me to work without being late!! But she made it, her friend Jake made it, and I finally made it to work!! Lucky me!!!

Until next time!! Next Thursday could be a doozy because it is Emma Lee's 5th birthday and I seem to be having a bit of trouble with it!
