Letting GO!!

I used to rationalize keeping certain people in my life: they’re family, we have a history, they need a friend, etc. I thought I would feel guilty about letting them go…but in actuality I feel so much lighter, and without the massive energy drain, I feel more capable of creating and sustaining positive relationships.

I don't have a relationship with my father... there is nothing that I can do about that.I have tried and tried to reach out to him and to talk to him.

No one not one person is perfect, but I can only do so much when it comes to my dad. He wants no part in my life; that is the choice that he has made on his own. With that comes the fact that he doesn't have anything to do with my kids. I'm fine with that as of this moment.

I like this quote:

“Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle”.

Saturday Fun on a supposed to be snowy day!

It was such a crazy weekend! We had the worst weather like I said in the before post and it was so cold that I was in no way going to let the kids go out in it no matter what the circumstances!

So we decided to go ahead and make sugar cookies with frosted icing!

So much for snow!! :(

SOOO

We didn't exactly get any snow in our neck of the woods, but it seems like everyone around us did. Life is funny that way I guess! lol

We did get allot of ice... to the point that they had to close the freeways and we had a record breaking number of car wrecks and abandoned vehicles! Crazy I know!

For those of you who are used to this weather your probably thinking that we are weird or nuts for freaking out when we get this cold in our area. lol I laugh too because I used to live in Ky. HAHA Yeah you'd think I would be used to the weather that we got here. It was so cold and I was in no way ready or used to it.

My kids loved it! Andrew liked it till he got sick and couldn't do anything for the entire weekend and he hated that.

We are doing better now except for me... I got sick in the process and have yet to start feeling better!

I will be sure to post pictures when I find my camera of what our car looked like with all the ice and the neighbors car too. We even took a picture of the lonely freeways! lol

Hope your all enjoying your Monday!

SNOW DAY!! In South TX. Really?

Can you believe it?!?

Me either!!

We South TEXANS are expected to get at least 2-3 inches of snow in the next few days. They are shutting down roads and freeways as I type this. It's crazy how us Texans are so excited about such a little amount of snow.

We never get snow!! NEVER!

My kids are thrilled and excited. I hope that we don't miss it!

Hopefully my next post will have pictures of snow!!

The roads are already iced over and the cars are covered as well with ice.

The sidewalks are slick and its colder than all get out outside! haha

My kids school is closed till Monday and so are all the area businesses!

We are going to be inside for the most part; so I'm thinking about making cookies tomorrow with the kids!
