A Hero Arrived!

The snow has made it's way to Colorado! It's these big white flakes and leaving the house is not an option for me, so I sit inside looking out every once and a while to see how much it's piling up out there........ Then in a 4 wheel drive white steed comes a hero to free us from our tower with the icy mote surrounding us! The hero in my story may be grey and older but when you hear
your children run to the window screaming GRANDPA! You know your hero has arrived and you will soon be next to the fire place, playing games with your Mom as your children run a muck in the basement.

A funny twist to our fairy tale is the tiny prince who was excited to escape was quickly baffled by the cold stuff coming from the sky! After having it hit his face and touch his boots a hesitant giggle came from deep inside.... this stuff was exciting and scary all at the same time!

(the trip to sisters was canceled because of the white stuff but we will get there soon and pictures and stories will follow)

Still here

Yup I'm still here and kicking, we had a nice holiday and I have been really enjoying the kids in their time off of school. Hope you all had a good holiday too. Now we are planing a trip that will lead us into the new year with my big sis. I'm extremely excited to see her and have her smile and hugs near when ever needed. See you all in the new year!

Getting out of bed......

I get up, I get dressed, I do my hair and fix my makeup! During the day I live in the smiles of my children. I smile when they make each other laugh.
I vacuum a lot, clean a lot, dance a lot! Laundry is always done and put away.
Mornings I'm motivated, afternoons are a bit somber, Evenings I'm too busy to think, feel, or need..........Then the nights come..... nights are hard, harder than I could ever put into words. BUT
I'm slowly looking for the light at the end of the tunnel...it's there...it's coming closer into view.
For those of you who know the situation there is no change on the other side of things only changes in me and what I'm doing to move forward as me.
I will become Gigi again soon I hope! (fingers crossed) but for now thanks for the love and prayers and offers of support........I'm getting there.
