Happy New Year.....Here is SOME SNOW!

Since a few days after Christmas...it has been snowing off and on again...a little too late if you ask me and not wanted(if you asked me again). I am the type of girl that LOVES snow for Christmas...a White Winter Wonderland. Come Boxing Day, the SNOW can leave and not return again till next Christmas! I am sorry for all you skiers and winter sport lovers....but it has to go!! So its the New Year and we are into Day 2.....Hubby is working, kids are driving me batty, Dog is following me like a shadow and I am thawing my carcass from last year...turkey that is...its time to make Turkey Stew(probably why the dog is following me). For some reason it makes me feel all healthy inside....boiling down the meat and taking all the flavours out of the bones...making a rich broth and adding veggies and spices. Tonight I'll reheat it, and add a dollop of sour cream and fresh cut chives on top!! Also...I'll make my OWN cheesie, garlic biscuits...what else is better than that on a cold, snowy day??

What else is better you ask.....if the kids went back to school!!! Oh my Goodness....I've had enough!! Enough bickering, fighting, yelling and mess to last a year!!! Why couldn't they go to school today...or tomorrow?? HUH!?
Thankfully, they were not that GOOD today...I can tell them that they are having a nap...no BUTS....a NAP must be had!!! And they did go down...they are quietly in their rooms right now...hopefully sleeping...but as long as they don't come out till like 4(please) then I'll be happy!! I need silence...I need to hear myself breathe....I need QUIET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would have thrown them outside...but I forgot to pick up the poop from the dog and it snowed through the night and all day today....its like a mine field out there...so its SAFER for them to stay inside...less for me to clean...if you know what I mean!!

So...its the second day of 2012. I've made a healthy dinner to last a few nights. I've organized my HOME to the best of my ability, tried to stay sane, threw the kids down for a nap, and I've seen enough snow to last me until next Christmas(sadly since I live in Canada...Northern Ontario...it will not be the last). How many more days till Spring??? Just wondering.......

PS. On that  New Years Resolution thing......I think I'll try to budget and save for a Summer, Family trip....the kids already agreed to eat a month of KD for dinner...so it can be possible to save for a trip!? We'll see......
