Valentines Day and Weekend.

Wow. This year is flying by.
I am sorely lacking in my blogging. Some days are better than others.

I used to get so excited about holidays. Not that Valentines Day qualifies as a real holiday, but I used to love it. All because I love L.O.V.E. Now, I don't love L.O.V.E. that much at all. Did that come out right? Oh, I love Dave. He is my one true love. *** begin sweet l.o.v.e. music ***
I am just not that thrilled about having to spend more money on candy. So I am boycotting this V-Day. We are not buying gifts. I don't like flowers. They die. And then, $40 is washed down the toilet.

I just got a new van. And because I got a new van, Dave's truck has silently passed away. So now we are truck shopping also. We knew it would happen. Dave said before we bought the van, "Hey Mel. When we buy you a van, my truck will die." And I said, "Yeah, I know. It will die."

A Break.

After debating the conditions of the roads, and thinking about their drivability (is that a word?)
I did not go to school this morning. I did not go to work either.

I lay around the house, watched part of a movie with Super Dave, and did laundry.
I made the kids some muffins for breakfast.
I made my bed.
I gave my children a good washin'.

Then, I got dressed and went to work.

Boy, was it nice to be at home for a couple of extra hours.

In case I haven't said it, I am tired of snow. Sometime in between 3:30 - 5:30 this morning, we got about 3 or 4 inches of snow. All I know is that there was nothing at 3:30 a.m. School was two hours late.

At 5:30 a.m. it looked like a blizzard was on us.

Anyways, even though I am sick of snow, I am thankful that I have a clean kitchen today.
I am greatful for those muffins that the kids scarfed down. I am so happy that my evening class has been cancelled. I am looking forward to going home, cooking dinner, washing dishes and finishing laundry.

So, horray for a snow day. I needed it. :)

Gettin' over the Super Bowl...

First, let me say that I am over the Super Bowl.
I love L.O.V.E. Peyton in an unnatural way. That is no secret.
But, come on, people. give me a break.

Anytime that the Colts beat up on anyone else (and it has happened alot) I have never, ever, ever made phone calls, posted ha-ha messages on facebook, texted, or did anything obnoxious. While I am always joyous when Peyton wins, I am never a heckling kind of fan (unless I am at a Titans/Colts game and Dave is with me and we have some kind of bet going on. Then, I heckle Dave. But that doesn't count).

I will say that in the past two days, I have been annoyed by those I love, but are not fans of Peyton or the Colts.

These people began texting me, calling me and posting little messages to me via email and facebook BEFORE the game was even over. In usual circumstances, I would not even be thinking about this by now. My attention span is just that short.

I have heard more comments about the Super Bowl and the Colts loss than

• Haiti
• World Hunger
• Unemployment
• Michael Jackson

Ok, well not really the last one. But really, the top three are for sure.

So, let's talk about something else, shall we?
