What a beautiful day

Oh, it finally feels almost like .... March! It is about 45 dregrees, the sun is shining and snow is melting away! Yippy.....Whoot Whoot, YAY!! OH finally!
I went for an hour walk at lunch and the sun on face, felt absolutely wonderful. Too bad I had to come back in to finish the day inside.
Tomorrow is supposed to be just as nice, however, of course, we are going to Estes, where it will be......Cold! But......I don't have to be there until 230p, so I will walk before going up. I am going to see a movie with my sister---Dear John. I read the book, loved it, and cannot wait to see the movie!
Tonight I am getting a babysitter and going to dinner and drinks with friends. Paige is quite frankly, totally stoked to have a babysitter. So excited she was still up at 930pm last night, cause "she couldnt' sleep" and "wasn't tired"................and this morning when she woke at 630am, she was "Very tired". But, today it is not my worry, I will NOT be the one dealing with attitude tonight! Nope, not me! I will be relaxing with a marg in my hand!

Breaking news........

Paige wore jeans to school today!!!! Whoot, Whoot!!!
The girl has not worn jeans since she was 2!

She was in my room as I got dressed this morning and she said, mommy I like your jeans,
I said, you should wear jeans today too and we can be twins.................... She said she wanted to.
Not the first time we've tried to wear them and the minute she see's them she changes her mind.
Not today! She said mommy, I am not gonna be able to run in PE today! LOL!
I told her girls can run in jeans! She is a riot!

Seeing the beauty in things.

*The sky lit up bright pink, clouds looking as if they are airbrushed in the clear skies and the birds soaring through the air. It is light out now when I leave work to go home, still dark when I reach school to pick Paige up.

*Walking onto the porch in 20 degree weather, though cool the sun is soo warm, listening to the birds chirping as we get in the car to start out day.

*The sight of buds starting to come out on the tree in the front yard, waiting soo patiently to blossom into huge green leaves.

*Walking around the "lake" looking at hundreds of geese standing on the ice as they too patiently wait for sping, the ice to melt so they can dip there heads in the water.

Just a few things I am noticing.

Made it through!

Oh it was an emotional Saturday morning, so surreal pulling into a work area with headstones covering the front lawn. We picked the first stone we saw, the design is not worked up yet, i will pick a few pictures to put on each side of his name. Paige wants a ladybug and I want a toad.
The ladybugs are well suited, everytime we go out there in the summer ladybugs are all over plants and the toad............................all little boys love toads!
As the man asked our information and asked for the name to be placed.........It took all I had to hold back the tears. But I did it. Survived. I do feel releived and it will be soo nice to look at that stone instead of plane old grass!
