Well I have been giving some of you some long reading material. Those few that read all the way through. Haha
It's quite alright if you don't, I very much understand. I sometimes just find that it helps me to write things out, helps to get things out from inside me. Of course I don't write everything out for all of you to know, there are some things that I just would rather keep to myself, but the things that I don't mind sharing I do.

Right now I am ready for church way early and so waiting till at least 6 to leave. People I'm sure already think I have fallen off the deep end with as early as I get to church now days. They would be calling a Dr if I were to show up at 5:30. So here I sit, killing time.
Dallas is doing a puzzle. Coda is asking why we can't leave right now and doing what he does when bored, eating a snack.

Today I went to Wal-Mart and of course spent and bought more than I went there for. Stopped at the library and got a couple more books to have on hand.

It is terribly cold here and we have had some dry snow spitting going on today but nothing that will stick or even touch the ground. It just kind of swirls around periodically. The wind keeps blowing though and that is not a good sign, unless of course it just blows it right out before it has time to stop. I have been freezing for the last couple days now and long hot showers and lots of covers on the bed are all that keep me warm for small periods of time. I feel like I should hibernate. I am totally loving my heated seats on my new car. I have never had heated seats before or a sun roof and I have both on this car, very cool.

Dallas got his report card yesterday and I thank God every day for my little genius. He had straight A's and even a note from the principal saying what a very awesome report card it was. Dakota does not have the A,B,C,D,F grading yet, that doesn't come until 3rd grade. His teacher says he is making alot of improvement. He really doesn't care for school so I am not sure how the coming years will be, hopefully it will come easier for him as the years go by. Dallas still lives for school and loves it and breezes through as if its nothing.

Well I am going to go for now, may as well get some gas on the way to church and then I don't have to on the way home.
Have a wonderful evening.
