Valentines and More!

So, I have been chatised by my beautiful and smart goddaughter, Sarah, for not blogging in so long. As I explained to her January and February were just busy and boring and did not warrant being written about. I have decided I feel very blah about the end of winter. It has been soooo cold here and we have had several snow storms ( and I do love the snow) but it just makes it harder to commute to work and all round do anything! But... I must stop moaning my life is blessed in many ways. My dog adores the snow and the cold and to see him play in the snow is a real treat. All 3 kids get a huge high when an impending snow storm is arriving because it means great snowboarding and they have not been disappointed. Being stuck inside so much has given me chance to catch up with that huge pile of reading by my bed and try out some new recipes in the kitchen. I have also used the time to catch up on some movies I "needed" to watch, Mama Mia was a tonic, The Reader was deep and thought provoking and Slumdog Millionaire, well that just deserves to win everything at the Oscars next week.

Of course grad school continues, and maybe it is part of the reason for the lack of blogging, now why the heck do I need to take a course in Financial Resource Management, but after all this is America and everything revolves around the almighty dollar. I can see the relevance now I am at the end of the class, but I struggled through it some, waiting for my grade in about a week. Next class in Nursing Leadership, I am already looking forward to that and it will be much more relevant to my job.

Things to look forward to
1. The weather getting better
2. Joe coming home for the weekend the end of February
3. Only 6 more classes to go in Grad School
4. A family I adore
5. A job I love it does not feel like work everyday
6. People that mean so much to me, they regularly read my blog (Sarah that one is for you!!)
