Snow days and understanding

Who is ready for summer??? After this latest snowstorm, yes, in the south this is considered a snowstorm; I am ready for flip flops and shorts. I will admit it was fun watching the kids turn from cool teenagers into giddy pre schoolers when they saw the snow. They bundled up and took turns sledding down the hill. Hubby even took the dog and I went down our driveway. We have a great sledding hill, which, of course, means we are stranded when we get ice on the road. We do not get a lot of sun either so we were stranded for two days. The first day was fun, but after I could not get to work the next day, I was done. Plus, all I want to do on a snow day is eat, watch TV or read.  So yesterday all I did was eat and read. I did manage to get outside for about 30 minutes to help shovel our driveway. Which was pointless when we had another blizzard attack us at 10:00, but exercise is exercise, right?

  Speaking of exercise, I need a new challenge. I am thinking of revisiting the plank challenge. Planks work all sorts of muscles in the abdominal area that need some help right now. I might add a squat challenge as well. The gluts need some TLC right now.

  I hope everyone had a great Valentine’s weekend. I did, for the most part. Hubby and I had some miscommunication which led to some arguing which led to some deep conversations, which led us to a deeper understanding of each other. Marriage is a constant learning process. I am trying to understand that my hubby is not me and celebrates differently than I do. I go full force all out. Hubby is low key so we have come to a mutual understanding that works for the both of us. That way no one has any hurt feelings or unrealistic expectations. Compromise is vital in any relationships. I do hate when hubby and I argue, but good things always come about after we argue and then there is always the make-up part.  I love the making up part.

Have a great Wednesday and stay warm. 

Hugs!
