I LOVE MY CHILDREN! : ) Those of you that know me well, know this to be the truest of true statements. As I sit here struggling to keep concentration to work on my own school work, I loathe the beautiful fresh snow! : ) In the last two school weeks we have burned through 5 more "Calamity Days." Isn't that nice? They no longer call them "Snow Days" since Ohio Hurricane 2008". To me they are still SNOW DAYS!
I think back to a little over three years ago when I was still living in Arizona. The sun shined non-stop. I prayed for a cloudy day so that I would not have that big ball of fire glaring in my face and eyes! My kids' activities, church picnics, anything outdoors was very RARELY canceled and never due to rain! It was an adjustment for me to not get a reprieve in our busy life. Life in the Midwest is indeed, different. But this is home. While I miss my Arizona friends and even my Texas friends, the majority of my heart is here. I often say (during a snow storm usually) to my fellow Midwesterners and friends/family, "Remind me why I moved back here? 'Cause right now I am having great difficulty remembering!" Of course, the answer is crystal-snow-clear...that person is in my heart, in my life and one of the people I want to be close to.
