It is so cold today, and the ice just won’t stop. It all started last night, rain, then the familiar sound on the roof, more ice for us. I am so tired of Winter and all the cold weather that has come with it (and the super high gas bill too GRRRRR). I am longing for Spring time, and the possibility of leaving the house not dressed in sixteen layers of clothes.

My mom was in town yesterday to help me out around the house, and celebrate my birthday a little early. She even brought my a super yummy chocolate birthday cake, which I will probably finish off today.We got a ton done, made a quick trip to the store, and even got some ice cream, although I think that was mostly for Thade. A big thank you to her for all of her much needed help!!!

Today I’m going to do a few loads of laundry, clean the kitchen, wash dishes, and get my sewing machine out, and work on a few projects. I can’t wait.
