Day off
So, we are into February and have a lot of our snow back thanks to some nasty weather the last 3-4 days. The kids had a snow day last week and then two days this week that were late arrivals. It's pushing their time in June to be a bit longer and we still have the rest of this month and March to get through!
Today is my day off and I must confess, I hate to do anything on my days off but stay at home, drink my morning coffee, catch up laundry and housekeeping and veg on the computer! I told a friend who was recently injured in a ski accident that I would stop by today and I just haven't wanted to go anywhere. Awful aren't I? But...my job is so consuming sometimes that on my days off I like the time for just me!
Hubby finally got his snow machine fixed, thank you LORD! He was about having a hyper the past two weeks trying to get that fixed. Of course taking it somewhere that does that sort of thing would have cost us well over a $1000, but thanks to someone he works with that knows how to work on them and has a nice heated garage to work in, helped him and they finally got it going last night for a little under $300! Tomorrow afternoon will be the big test as once we are done work we plan to head out and enjoy a big bon fire, sledding and hotdogs in the deep woods! Hannah will go with us as Dev is off to NH with her Gram to attend a friend's 60th birthday bash.
Otherwise, it's been an awfully LONG winter and I'm starting to look forward to spring, despite the fun I have had on my new sled! Hubby is also anxious to get working on our new garage, he's become quite resourceful in his older age!! He's beginning to figure out it's cheaper to do things for yourself rather than hire it out. Everything costs so much today it's crazy.
And...I can't forget about our upcoming trip to DC either. Dev is actually getting more excited about it as well.
Here's to a great evening on the trails tomorrow and safety and LOTS of fun!!
