Wet Ceiling

My husband is a contractor and during the winter when it's snowing he also has a contract and plows for our town. With all the snow we've had, many people's roofs have started leaking - ours included! This is due to the ice dams on the roof. I asked my DH if he could please put ME on the list of houses to be shovelled and showed him the lovely water stain in our living room. We were shovelled the next day :) This is a picture of one of the guys on our roof shovelling. I can't get out the front door, or grill anytime soon but no more leaks. Thank you DH xoox

Picture for a day - changing to random!

I am not able to post every day - life is busy getting in the way! But I will randomly post when I can.

We had a two-day snow storm and my younger son took the dog for a walk. He stopped at the snowbank across the street and I snapped this photo.

Day three

This is my 9 year old Border Collie Brady. He's such a love :). I work from home and he's either laying on stair landing, in a chair looking out the window (barking at squirrels!), or right behind my chair so when I roll away from my desk he's right there! Many times he comes in and puts his head right in my lap for a rub or two. He's a great office-mate.

Day two

Here's a picture of me and my sons, Jonathan is the oldest and Christopher is the youngest.

This isn't from today, but from Christmas Eve, one of my favorite nights of the year. This year we had decided to do "ugly" Christmas sweaters, but unfortunately I was the only one who paid attention. Next year, holiday jammies! Hope everyone listens next year!

Picture a Day for 365 - Day 1

Alright - I'm going to attempt this! I'll start with a new profile picture of me and go from there!

Missing my "baby"

My youngest son has been gone since Monday at a school trip. I was so excited for him to go, knowing how much fun my older son had on this same trip. I dropped him at the school, got his luggage loaded on the bus, checked him in at the correct spot, gave his allergy medicine to the school nurse, gave him one last squeeze and said good-bye. Leaving the school I saw this whole line of parents and kids waiting to put their luggage on the bus and I lost it! A friend of mine was waiting in the line and gave me a big hug - I told her I needed to get to the car quickly before I lost it. I got in to the car and burst in to tears! I was so surprised and don't know where those feelings came from.

It's been four days, the house is just too quiet with him gone. Each day at I look down the street for him walking from the bus stop and realize he won't be there. I miss his company, his chatter, his 12 year old insights, his piano practice, his kicking around the soccer ball, shooting hoops in the driveway. At night I miss saying good night and kissing him when he's sound asleep as I go to bed for the night.

Remind me of this next week when I'm thinking how much he's driving me crazy!
