Bitter Cold Days
Wow - I can't believe it has been almost 2 months since I have last posted. I really don't have an excuse for that, unless going to bed early counts. I have made up my mind that going to bed at 12:00 or 1:30 in the morning is just not going to happen anymore. As much as I can help it anyways. So, usually when my girls go down for the night, shortly afterwards I go down for the night. And amazingly enough I can get out of bed at 6:30 in the morning AND I feel SO MUCH better! :)
On another "feel good note" I completely cut out my sugars for the last 3 weeks and something amazing and quite interesting happened. My dust allergies are gone! This past Saturday I started some "Spring Cleaning" (early, I know) in my kitchen, which included taking down 4 sets of curtains to wash, pulling clutter off shelves,dusting and organizing and guest what?!?! I didn't sneeze once!! Usually I would get the works! Sneezing, running nose, watery eyes and just plain SICK feeling. And if I didn't know when to stop I would get BED SICK for several days. I always dreaded the "deep" cleaning.
Our two little Princess's are growing like weeds. Even Emma is noticing how she is growing. Each day she stands next to my kitchen counter's and says "Look Mommy! I'm growing bigger!" Seems like yesterday she was standing on her tippy toes to see what's on the counter. Now she is almost a full head above my counter tops! Quite amazing. Abigail has been going through quite a growth spurt of her own. The pants I started putting on her in late fall and early Winter, are all of a sudden above her ankles?!? When did this happen? My oh my, they grow too fast.
Abigail has seemed to pull this new phrase "I'm mad" out of her hat. It must be a stage she is going through. However, I do not remeber Emma doing this. If something isn't going her way, she puckers her lips, puffs out her cheeks, crosses her arms across her chest and says "I'm Mad"!! What in the world?? How does she even know what that means? Mommy and daddy surely doesn't use the word? And not until Abbi started to say it, Emma started using the word as well. Kids.. haha... quite amazing.
The weather has turned bitter, yet again. Right now, it is 6 degrees outside and the windchill is -4. Yesterday was even worse. The girls talk about "Summertime" every day. About swimming, riding thier bikes.. and all the fun stuff they rememeber doing last Summer. Yes - we are VERY anxious for warm weather. Emma is very excited about helping me plant our garden. I too, can't wait!!
