Hail, Sleet, and other gross winter stuff!

This is what happened at 0115 this morning. Dave and I have a west facing window in our bedroom adjacent to our bed. The wind and hail woke me up bright and early this morning. Dave was just getting home from work, so he braved the weather and took a picture of this. The hail was hitting the window so hard, I honestly thought that it would break. I said a silent prayer of protection for our home, then dozed off to sleep. I have a feeling this winter will be a doozie for sure. It was on 36 degrees when I woke up....Brrrrrr

Rain

I love the rain. I love waking up to it, and hearing it smack into my windows. Rain makes me feel all cozy because, as a stay at home mom, that means that I can wrap up in a warm sweater, then build a fire in the wood stove right before my family comes home from their day. Rain also means that there will be a big pot of hot simmering soup for dinner. Tonight's dinner will be homemade potato soup. Nummy. Bring on the RAIN!

Icky Weather

I guess all of this icky, windy and wet weather is finally affecting my mood. I have been in a bummed out mood this whole day. I haven't wanted to do anything except sit in my recliner, wrap up in a cozy blanket, and watch tv.....unfortunately, when one owns a family day care, that wish is NEVER going to happen. I did manage to get enough energy to start dinner. We are having homemade scalloped potatoes, sliced ham, and green beans for dinner. Nummy. A super nice, hot, and comforting meal on such a crappy weather night.
