Is January 2008 almost over...already???

October 1 was the last time I blogged. It feels like yesterday, but wow, it's been 3 1/2 months. Sorry Mia!!! I'll try to be better about this blogging thing. Idaho is such a fast-moving place to live - and I'm just going, going, going. ;)

Christmas and New Years happened. Now we are back at school. And it is COLD outside. Today, with the windchill, it is -3*. We have a beautiful blue sky, but man is it chilly! As a side note, I grew up in Anchorage, Alaska. I'm no wuss when it comes to cold weather. I love winter activities...I ski, love hot drinks, you name it! But the negative degree weather is a killer on the energy level. I want to curl up in a blanket, under a comforter, and sleep. Is that a bad thing???? But no, we have to brave that darn weather and come to work.

The kids really like the weather, though. I'm not pushing them to play outside...they can play the wii inside. :) Both kids are doing indoor sports right now. My little princess is taking ballet and tap...and will have her first recital in March. I cannot wait for the recital!!! I'm so darn happy. JMan is doing indoor soccer and that is pretty cool, too! I enjoy watching him learn and get some one-on-one training. He improves so much during the indoor season. No recital, but it's pretty okay.

The school kids are feeling like caged animals. They want out. If it is sunny outside, they think they should be able to take the day off and play (or hunt, or whatever it is that makes them happy), if it is snowing outside (or raining) they think they should have the day off, because it's too "dangerous" to drive. I don't remember being like that in school...but who knows, maybe I was.

Now to the really BIG news...Def Leppard, Styx, and REO Speedwagon are coming to town. Well, not to my town, but to a town near me :) and I'm going. I cannot wait! Who doesn't love the 80's?????? (That was rhetorical!!!!) April 23rd can't get here soon enough for me... and I promise, Mia, that I will blog before then!

til next time...
