I must say, I have never minded winters. I always like the cute accessories like hats and gloves and love the way it looks outside. I cant imagine not having snow on Chrismtas (although its happened before.) and I usually love the whole feel of winter....this year however, IVE HAD ENOUGH. Its starting to dampen my spirit. I hate not wanting to go anywhere because its so cold and too dangerous to drive. I dont know how much more I can take. I am ready for some sunshine, some evening walks, thunderstorms, and to get vaughn out in the sun!! HURRY SUMMER!

Work has been trying lately as we have just started our actual jobs this week and everything, of course, has gone wrong. It has been difficult learning a new role and the rules and the steps to doing everything, but when nothing in your office works (yes, nothing, not the phones, not the computers etc.) it makes it horribly challenging and I have found myself more frustrated because of that! It is hard to be okay leaving your baby when you have to go to work, only to be unable to do your job. I dont know if that makes any sense.

The sitter had the day off today so VE got to spend the day with Grandma. I know she had a blast! She's been talking about it all night. ;) She does love spending time with her grandparents and I am blessed to have them so close to help with her and for her to grow up knowing them. I do realize alot of kids dont get that opportunity. My mom cleaned the apt today while she was here. I never realize just how messy I have let it become until she comes and works her magic. What would i do without her? I do wish her cleaning ability was something I had been given. APprently, i didnt get those genes! Cleaning- after it gets out of hand- overhwelmes me. The idea of it makes my head spin and i never know where to start. My mom has been good about helping me learn to not look at it all and decide where to start, just to pick a spot, a desk, a corner, anything and start from there.... like all areas of your life...:) Thanks mom!

Tomorrow is Valentines day...so happy love day everyone. I think my bf shannon is coming over and we will probably do a girls dinner. I do love spending time with her and have been so blessed that she stops over often after work to hang out and do dinner. It definetly makes the nights not seem so lonely and VE just loves her to death. True friends are rare, but I am blessed to have the ones I have. I know she will lighten the spirit around my place. She always does. Its much needed!
