Happy Sunday!

So, here I sit, at my faithful PC... contemplating my blog post for the day.

Sorry if it seems a bit disjointed.... I was out late last night with a bunch of girlfriends and I'm still a wee bit groggy. *grin*

Well, it snowed this morning. A good 2 inches worth of it, actually. Apparently God didn't get the memo I sent Him about wanting Spring. Good think I bought the kids some rubber boots! It looks like we might need them!
Although, I must admit - having the snow does help with the dryness level around here. We had another grass fire on Crocus Hill, a big ole fire in Springbank (caused by some freaking dumb redneck trying to kill gophers with a propane flame- thrower - I couldn't make that up if I tried!) and all of the region has a fire ban imposed on us. So some moisture is very welcome.... I just wished it was in the form of rain!

My feet REALLY hurt as of late. I've been hobbling all about, trying to not hurt myself by just walking. I think the time has come to face the music, and just go to the bloody podiatrist already. I may just need some orthotics (how uncool is that!!!), or I may need surgery. I have hammer toes, a tailor's bunion and some bone spurs from where I fractured a bone in my foot when I was a teen and I *tried* to dance. (I'm not very coordinated) Who knew that having toes that curled sideways was a bad thing??? To me - I was born with them, and my dad's whole side has those toes that curl under. True, it makes the polish rub off faster off those toes, but I actually thought they were cute. *shrug*
Well, being in constant pain from your feet is not so cute. It seems like ever since I hit my late 20's, my body's gone to hell in a handbasket. I've gotten white hairs on my head, foot pain, rosacea, my eyes have gotten worse and I just feel so gosh darned OLD. *sigh*
It's even gotten to the point where "wide width" is even too snug on my feet. Hello Birkenstocks. Good bye cute shoes.
Ooooh, I am having a pity party today, aren't I? Sorry, I don't mean to. Honestly. I don't.

Other than that, we've kind of had a bizarre week.... My hubby has had the tummy flu, and now I think I have it. It looks like herbal tea and dry toast for me!! (Yumm!)

The kids go back to school on Monday - hallelujah. I"m so proud of me for making it the whole week without losing it on my kids. It's so odd to think that at one time, I had 4 kids at home everyday, and that was my "normal". Sending my older kids to school and having them gone for 7 hours a day has spoiled me. Hopefully, we'll survive Summer Vacation. (Watch, by the end of the summer, I'll cry having to be without them! Again!!! LOL)

That's about it. We have church tonight, and I just got a Last Minute Phone Call of desperation - "We're having a finger food night.... Can you bring something??" I agreed this time. I won't next time. It isn't MY JOB or my responsibility to cover someone's ass from their lack of preparation.
Besides, my 4 kids eating at church always ends up with it being a gong show. No one wants to eat - not when all their friends are there!
So I'll feed the kids (and myself) before we go. Like always. *sigh* I just hate how it's always SOMETHING last minute!

Well have a great day!
