Blah…..

Just feeling blah today.  I have done alot worked out, made chili for supper, did two loads of laundry, vacumed, dusted and it’s not even 2 p.m.  I am not sure if it is from the dusting or if I am getting a cold.  I think I usually feel like this after dusting.  I might be becoming allergic to it.  Older son had a cold last week, everyone at work is sick and so are their kids.  Now I feel a little like I am coming down with something. I have felt this way for a week only to wake up the next day and feel fine for a while and then I think I am getting sick again.  My body must be fighting it off.  I don’t mind I really don’t want a cold.  Then again I don’t want the flu either!

It snowed a tiny bit the other day and it was actually pretty.  Didn’t accumulate to anything though.  Barely made the ground white.  Still looking at the brown, dead looking ground and bare trees.  Might be another winter like 97-98.  I remember it well.  It was the winter we moved into this house.  I was so hoping for snow so the kids could go outside and play in it.  Of course we had just moved in in November and didn’t have a lawn yet.  It was all sand around the house and when ever anyone went out in it it would stick to the bottom of their shoes.  I hated having that all tracked in the house so I was praying for snow.  We got NONE!!  I mean none the whole winter.  That was our first El Nino experience.  I think we are experiencing another.  Although last winter we didn’t get much snow and then it hit us all in March.  We got dumped on every week in March.  I remember it well!

The chili smells good and it is cold and windy today.  Not as cold as January usually is but cold.  The house is pretty much cleaned up finally after Christmas.  It feels bare in here now with everything down.  But nice to feel back to normal. 

Our older son has decided he is going to NDSU.  He mailed in his paperwork and money for the housing part of the deal.  I asked him what if his girlfriend decides she isn’t going there.  He said I am still going it’s where  I want to go.  Ok then I won’t argue with that.  I sure will miss him though.  He said he would get a camera for his computer so I can see him all the time and he would IM me alot.  Something else I will need to figure out.  Do we ever get over that missing them part after they grow up? I don’t think so. 

Well I am off to balance my checkbook, that should be fun since all the Christmas bills are piling in!

Have a great day!
