Winter Blahs

Well, this post was going to be all about my wonderful hubby and how much I love him. Not that that has changed...at all!....but today being the third ice day in a row has gotten me feeling kind of ick. You'd think days off school are great and I'd be thankful, but not so much (as discussed previously). Especially today and half a day yesterday when Adam went back to work, it's just kinda lonely and boring. I never thought I was one who minded being alone, but it's definitely much nicer to have days off with companionship.

Well yesterday I was all geared up to write about what a blessing my dear Adam has been to me. Each morning I wake up and thank God for him, and what a gift our love for each other is. I miss him when he's gone, but in the past eight (eight!) years we've learned to cope with that. In fact, one of the best things about our relationship, I think, is that we had plenty of time to work through a lot of "stuff" before we actually got married. I'm not saying it was ideal by any means, but it was right for us. Why am I on this tangent now? Well, yesterday I had a lot of time on my hands and I was thinking all day about this particular topic. I guess some of that Valentine spirit crept in! Even though my mood's not quite as buoyant now, it's still true and I still wanted to put the thought down. I'm sure I'll wax more poetic (?) later.

What does one do with days off of school? Well, at least today I was a tad more productive. I cleaned house and showered, which is more than I've done in the past several days! I ran a couple of errands and yesterday I made some pretty darn good potato soup. So, basically I did all the stuff I might do on a Saturday but had been putting off for days. I'm reading a lot, too. Let's just say I'm ready to have some structure tomorrow.

So the reason this post is titled the winter blahs, is that I guess I get this way every winter. I remember last January's ice storm, I felt so icky the whole time. I could hardly even enjoy my days off. That's kind of how I was feeling today. The sun was even shining, but it's just not the same. I'll be soooooooo glad for spring!
