oh man, my spelling is going to suck when i get back unless the reader is accustomed to american AND european spelling. oi!
well. i'm trying, obviously, to blog a lot more. however, i realize...they suck. not much of interest.
so to explain. quite frankly.
we're boring and bored. yes. i might have mentioned that a time or two about myself, but it really is like a virus and it's plagued us all. this winter really has gotten to us all. while i, myself, am headed off to start tanning. i believe it might be time to invest in a SAD light or i heard tale of one up at the base that is for us to use. so i wonder how that works with small kids? i saw the sun, while in the woods this morning for a few minutes. while it was absolutely FREEZING and there's still snow on the ground (seriously WHY have i still not purchased some waterproof super lined ultra warm boots yet??) the sun came out. it burst through the tall tree tops and i stopped, much to oscar's dismay, in the middle of a clearing and just stood. while my breath was puffing out like smoke, and my feet were nearing frost bite, oh how glorious that sun was!
my face was warm, my body even felt warm anywhere it was touched by the light. it is something, that is impossible to explain until you go from living in sun-hell like abilene to no-sun-hell like england! perhaps it is the way i could explain how WARM 60 degrees is here contrary to how COOL it is in texas.
i was GIDDY to see temps in the near forecast @ 43 degrees! how sad?? yeah i am stoked for a 50 degree day in the sun.
when it hits 60 and the sun is out, the kids are playing hookie from school and we're stripping down to our skivvies and running wild, laying around...whatever we can to soak up as much as we can.
let's all pray for the neighbors sakes that they all stay at work that day!
at any rate, i feel like it's my job, i think it was in the job description but maybe i need a raise b/c it's a lot more work here, to get us all on the move. find some things to get the wheels cranking. to ..... well that old olivia newton john song just burst into my head (and MAN did i love it back when, i should totally find that pic) "lets get physical!!!". probably a different context, but regardless, it is what we need.
i think i'm going bike shopping. :o) i wonder if you really DON'T forget how??? i'd better get some grown up knee, elbow, butt, and should pads and an ultra mega helmet. yeah. spend less on a bike and more on protection. that's probably ideal for me. and then...i should probably practice some before i subject the whole family to it. hmmm....
their bikes haven't fared too well over the winter either. i'm pretty disappointed in that as it is.
at any rate, my project now is clearing out the office. i wanted to get rid of all desktops, however that is awhile in the making. if, and the operative word here is *IF*, i can get my programs to work on this, then i am fairly certain the two desktops are about to get cleared off and set up for the beating of a lifetime. um, in other words, handed down to the boys.
i sooooo wish that they could take decent care of stuff. i'd have loved to get them notebooks for CHristmas. soon enough i'm sure.
i'd just love to have a small desk area for each of them but one that isn't overcrowded with computer equipment. well, soon enough i hope. i'm holding a camera hostage from kade until he can prove he can take care of things. we'll see.
well...on that note, i think i hear a salad calling my name.
i've got a lot of work to do.
