Oh thank goodness it snowed yesterday. The past week of the weird warm weather just put me into a funk but last night going for a walk in fresh snow refreshed my brain a bit. I don’t like warm weather in winter. It’s just not right.
The week and just not any week but the week before Christmas week and all seemed a little chaotic. But was it really? Just a bit of running around here and there, trying to get some last minutes things done. Grocery shopping, list making, dealing with people. People dealing with me. I finally got the winter tires on the car, made a dentist appointment, you know, adult things. So maybe not that chaotic but still. I am ready for a couple days if not, you know?
A few nights ago we had the littles over for our traditional cookie house decorating shenanigans and it was a hoot. Spent that day making cookies, waiting oh so patiently for the house cookie cutters that I decided to buy to come in the mail (they were days late and said they would be there). Finally decided they weren’t coming and free handed the cutouts. Just as I was putting the last batch of cookies in the oven, the cutters arrived. That was some shit. Anyways, the cookies might not have been perfectly cut, but they worked just the same and the littles came over, busted open all the sprinkles and frosting they could get their hands on, made the cutest houses, and ate all the sugar. We had dinner then a dance party and then they left. That was Wednesday. I am still finding sprinkles everywhere.
And the rest of the week was. I worked, did some last bits of glazing, cleaned the crap out of the house, and yeah. thats about what I got.
Back to Sunday. I’m excited because the mr and I are going to a lovely spot in the woods for a nice snowy winter hike. Probably going to get some coffee after that and then probably going to spend the rest of the day reading. I want a chill day. I have a feeling (I know!)nthat this next week is going to be a little chaotic too.
