cabin fever...

What have I been up to you wonder? Well I'll tell you.
I've been sitting on my couch, by the fire, eating chocolates, sipping double espresso lattes with ... NOT. I don't drink lattes. HAhahaha... Sorry, bad I know. No I really haven't been up to a whole lot. Just the regular everyday things, cooking, cleaning, home school, barn chores. It's been so cold out that you walk out the door and your nostrils almost freeze shut, the air bites your face, and you want to run and dive back under the covers of your nice warm bed that you drag yourself out of in the morning. It was 6 degrees one morning, and 4 another. Burrrrr.. I decided I didn't want to know the temperature anymore, so I stopped looking at the thermometer. So yes I have a touch cabin fever. I think it came early this year, for me.  All I really want to do is sleep for about the rest of the winter. Matthew and I were going to go out on a date, but it just didn't work out... maybe another night. The kids watched National Velvet the other day, because it was too cold to play outside, and the next thing I know they are setting up jumps all though the house and running and jumping over them!! I decided to join in the fun and we were all running, jumping and hollering wildly "Come on Pie! Yyyaaaa!" It was fun! Reminded me of my childhood and all the crazy horse things my best friend and I used to do!! I won't share that stuff though. I'll let your imaginations run wild with all the silly things two young horse crazy girls can do:-) FYI, my best childhood friend and I are still best friends to this day! I'm thankful for her friendship too. And yes we both are still horse crazy!

I think I'll share a photo now...

Ready?


Me and the kiddos. It was taken a year ago, but I just love this picture. We were playing king of the hill, but stopped long enough to get our picture taken! That snow bank was huge! 

You didn't ACTUALLY think I'd put up a picture of me when I was little did you?? Nosireee... Not today anyways...

I need to get going on some of my winter projects. Maybe that will help,my cabin fever that is. I volunteered myself  to make five people something homemade this year, kind of a pay it forward thing. The people wanted it, I didn't force them to sign up for it.  I'd like to get creative in what I make for them too. We shall see. I have a whole year to make them!! I hope it doesn't take me a whole year...
