@Purpsy: I ended up with sayer's regret. But, I did spend a lot of time thinking out-loud which helped me get my head cleared up a bit and narrow down what is actually bothering me.
Our day bed was in the living room/game room, worked there for awhile but then it just looks like a bed in a living room. So I moved it to my daughter's room as a spare bed for guests or slumber party friends. It's slightly smaller than a twin. <.< An annoying size but it works well for guests/friends. it's useful.

Good afternoon. <3
I got a strong coffee this AM before daycare hours, so worth it.
but then a kid called out, so I only have 3 +1[mine] today. CX /turned out relaxing. lol

@Wildfire: omg, I've had to shovel a long driveway before [multiple times] and part of a street to get out. XDD Don't miss that. Although... kind of do, actually. I find shoveling snow to be a bit therapeutic.
I skiied as a teen out here, I enjoyed it as a yoooouth. but - did one last hill run at like, 18 and decided it's not for me anymore. XD Snowboarding has definitely picked up in popularity now.
I think I see more snowboarders on the resorts now than skiiers. But I see the skiiers out in the wild more.
omgosh, how are your allergies going this year?

@Wildfire: When I imagine cars going off the cliff [hollywood style], I remember when a semi [semis aren't allowed on this road], going over the edge. It was a potato truck. The driver lived. Shaken, no injuries [thank god], and on that one cliffside on the mountain, there are a LOT of potatoes growing. lol.
It's not so much a cliff but a steep hill and a few trees stopped the semi from going all the way down the mountain.
Once a year, the newspaper out here prints an article to remind people to hike that way and get free potatoes. lol.
Winter sports are super expensive. Skiing and snowboarding are HUGE out here. The most I do is ice skate, and I'm still paying for skate rentals and the admission to the local rink.
We got a ton of snow again. FINALLY got my truck unburied to work on it and it's buried again. OTL

@Wildfire: omg what a dumbass. e_e Driving experiences like that really make a person not want to drive anymore. ;(
I watched a guy a couple weeks ago, pass me on the mountain pass [no pass zone] and almost get into a head on collision. He swerved back into our lane forcing himself into the line of traffic. So dumb for this kind of weather, we have ice and snow banks and wildlife on the mountain.

We have sun here, buuut- snow too. I'm not big on winter sports, haven't been since I was a teen. So going outside isn't something I have a desire to do anymore. Which forces me to be inside and working 95% of my week. ;T I don't have time to do indoor sports either like swimming or anything. :\

I get in that winter rut of "same sh-t, different day"

@Purpsy: A sleeping bag for a daybed is actually genius. o3o
I have a day bed at my house, it's such a weird size. e.e'

My weekend was somewhat eventful, and not. I ended up having a lot of stress that I vented out to friends. Now I'm sitting here, regretting having done that.
Made me realize I'm dealing with seasonal depression. Cx

Good Morning.

I have quite a few notifications to catch up on, I logged off for the weekend to work and spend time with friends. :d

@Wildfire: Lots of animes! A lot of those I haven't watched, but have seen on my recommendations. Dr. Stone I watched forever ago and never caught up/finished it.
I've been re-watching Trigun. [comfort anime]. My husband keeps wanting to re-watch Violet Evergarden and I can't bring myself to re-watch it. lol. XD It's good, great even, but dang it wrecked me.
Devil's a Part-Timer is also one of my comfort watches.

We have a lot on our watch list and I have zero patience for sitting on the couch and being like "what should we watch tonight" and flip through a billion options and never decide on one.

My son is so used to seeing everyone in snow-weather clothing, that now that I've been wearing spaghetti strapped shirts to bed and the occasional shorts, he comments "why are you wearing that?" or "... That's... underwear.. " he's 9. lol. He gives me that grandfather look of "And THATS what your wearing? I don't think so."

@Wildfire: What anime did you end up bingeing?

I lived in Hawaii for 2 years as a teen, and in winter I'd get Cold! and refuse to go out because that wet cold was torture. Hawaii never went below 60*f [if I remember right]. I imagine FL is similar?
omg, I just remembered, I lived in Hawaii, had to get to North Dakota [colder than Wyo because of windchill] for Christmas. I went from 75*f to -15* in one day. I mentally prepared to be cold, but I ended up feeling okay once I got out of that ND airport. I was the tannest, blondest person in ND that Christmas.

I feel like my son would enjoy a book like that. :d

Old soul kids are the best!
I was one myself. lol. <3 Now I'm youthful spirited in my adulthood. XD

@Wildfire: Also, I love hearing your descriptions of your youngest. C: He sounds like he's turned into a Man and he'll be an ambitious cowboy. :p
Hopefully he won't work himself too hard. :d If he does, I'll just have to... I don't know, Get him and bring him to thermopolis, WY for a spa day. lmao.

I had a bit of chocolate milk today. lol. XD


@Wildfire: I definitely pay super close attention to my daughter's friends. My son has good.. instincts? Last year, we had a falling out with a neighbor kid. My son didn't like him and my daughter insisted he came over. Same age as my kids. She likes any kid who gives her attention and remembers her name.
The kid tattled on my daughter to me, and then said some mean stuff behind her back to my son. Of course, both my son and I tell my daughter about this kid. Anyway, I used that as a learning point of what to look for when you think someone is your friend.
She was bringing home gossip earlier this year and I explained all that to her too. Rumors and such happen a lot in school.
I'm pretty sure I can find a way to use every circumstance as a learning session for my daughter. XDD lol

I'm totally out of it today. Not enough sleep. :T

It's a whole 25*F outside today. I could walk my dogs with just jeans and a sweater. *o*
O000oooh! Tomorrow is supposed to be 37. -puts my bikini out to do some tanning-

@Wildfire: I'd travel there without complaint. well, I might whine a little, but It would be worth the trip. I think he'll send you that 'everything is fine' text at some point soon. <3 Just gotta let that dust settle with all the changes.
It dawned on me last night that he'll likely be the one going out to the watering holes and breaking the ice so the ranch animals have water. XD Makes me giggle a little that he's dealing with such an opposite weather than what he's used to.

I really hope my kids remain close too. It's hard to say, my daughter has these pre-teen moments of independence where her brother is 'uncool'.

as far as my baby being sick, every kid at this daycare shares germs. Drives me nuts, but there's nothing I can do. I've tried. One kid holds a toy, licks it, drops it, another kid grabs it. OR I'll hand them their own water bottles and I'll turn my back for 5 seconds to do something and the water bottle is in someone else's mouth. OTL so, they all have runny noses. a couple kids have a cough. That second week I took over, all of them got hit with the flu. o.e
My mom likes saying "this is easiest job she's ever done." and that I'm good at it and should keep doing childcare and I'm like "no. nuh-uh." I might be good with kids, but I don't enjoy it.

You totally deserve a lazy day. <3 Watch some tv, make a crock pot meal, just become a couch potato for a bit.

your latest art looks amazing! <3
I love that in your hiatus from Voltra, you kept drawing. :3

@Wildfire: sounds like my own kids. :d Right now, my older two are like yin and yang. Opposite but exist perfectly together. I'm sure that'll change once puberty really kicks in. -tear-
I hope you hear from him soon.
If you don't hear from him in a while, I guess you could make me drive down there and I can slap some sense into him. -thumbs up- OTL that would be a driveeeee.. but I'd do it.

My baby is now sick with a cough. So, he slept on my chest last night and coughed in my face and would gag and I'd quickly wake up, cover my face just in case of ... bleh. anyway. uhg.
My husband is back at work. He worked a full day yesterday, [he's not used to laborious jobs anymore], he slept through his alarm this morning. XDD

Today is my packed daycare day, I'm going to recruit my mom to help. She can't move much, but it's better having her around with 6 or 7 kids.
