Morning Musings...

It is like an ice box in here! I just turned on the weather channel (which I really enjoy for some odd reason!) and we are experiencing mild temps compared to the midwest. I cannot imagine living like under a blanket of snow like that. It is pretty to look at, but brrrrr!!!!

Finally, at 8am this morning, I lifted the heavy warmth of my comforter and shreaked as the chill rushed in, attacking my skin. Kids had been up for a hour getting ready for school. We had 30 minutes to get to the campus. Fortunately, it is only 1 minute away, but still, I had to get dressed, brush my hair and teeth, and make sure they had breakfast and lunches.

It is incredible how stiff my bones get in the winter. I managed to get my sweats on, and my hair pulled back, and the kids fed breakfast. Lunches? I told them I'd treat them to the lunch of their choice today. After a round of hurrays, I pulled on my uggs and ran them over to school.
Line up had already begun as they hopped out at the curb. Lauren blew me kisses, "Bye Mommy, Love you, Have a great day!" Niko grabbed his backpack and slid over the seat and jumped out, "Bye Mom!" I said, "Bye Loves. Bye Baby girl, Bye Sweet Boy. Love you!"
and they were off. I sat there, along the curb, and watched as they scooted off. Lauren was two yards ahead of Niko and her body language told her teacher she was making every effort to hurry. Niko (I had to smile) was going, but at his own pace. His body was saying, "I'm coming. I'll get there. I'm cool." And, they both did get there, in their own ways, in their own time.
Everything was fine. Something tells me this is indicative of the years to come, and that is just fine as well. :>
