it's Spring!

This past week really got me down.  The crazy blizzard on Wednesday had me nerve-wracked about Jason getting home that night, then the continued horrible roads on Thursday caused all but one of my students to be unable to get to class.  And, again, I was nervous about Jason getting home.  It's been a tough winter full of difficult roads and challenging weather.  And, yet, this week, spring began!  Or did it?

I found the week kind of depressing, as I'm sure many did.  Digging through those snow drifts made me feel I'd gained much more than just another year in age this week!  But, I have finally found my sense of humour again and with it, my scrapbooking mojo. And, it happened by consciously changing the way I look at all the things that happened this week.  I don't mean the whole "glass is half full/half empty" debate.  I mean, choosing to see the funny, crazy, incredible part of life in a week gone mad.  It really is the only way to cope lol

This is the sidewalk in front of our house - piled crazy high from shovelling all the snow!  And, the smaller photo is the kids walking home from school on Wednesday - the background is the beginning of that nasty blizzard which produced the snow in the larger photo!  The craziest part is that we got off lucky.  There were people who literally couldn't find their houses and couldn't get home for 2 days.  Yup, in 2013 - 2 days!!  And, schools stayed open, work still happened.  Makes you think ...

This one was fun!  This is the reaction we got when we told the kids that we're taking them to Bon Jovi in Edmonton.  We've also crammed my iPod with Bon Jovi songs for them to learn.  We're all so excited about this little trip.  I think we really need a little bonding time away :)
