snowed in for yet another full day all to myself.
all this time for self-reflection, you would think i would be growing as a person or something. i'm not sure that i am.
i did manage to fill the time yesterday.
i did not mop.
i didn't feel it was necessary.
but i did go to the y. so, go me.
and i started "a million miles in a thousand years" by donald miller & i might just finish a full book cover to cover for the first time in months. (and i call myself an english major...seriously)
today will be an adventure i think. i'm on a mission to find some black shoes & a black belt. and also shovel the driveway. which at this point looks more like the arctic than iowa.
did i mention i'm an official resident of iowa now? i have license plates & everything. my minnesota heart only cried a little as i screwed them on my little vehicle.
the husband will be home this afternoon (hopefully - i'm praying) & i can't wait.
alrighty, off to battle the arctic!

snow day.
my first day with the kids & we have a snow day...
i'm not quite sure what i'll do with my afternoon/evening...
i've been trying to think of some things to fill in the time
(the hubby is working. the bestie is in jamaica. & roads are not exactly ideal for traveling)
here's what i've got:
1. grocery store. i'm sure i need something.
2. library. i forgot to put the dvd back in the case before i returned it. oops.
3. read?
4. make some more food? like a giant pot of soup & outrageous chocolate chip cookies aren't quite enough for me.
5. ymca. ugh. not in the mood.
6. bubble bath. the pipes are still leaking onto the kitchen floor, but that's what a mop is for - right? oh, that's another thing.
7. mop.
that might fill up a few hours. we'll see!
peace & love & trying to be grateful for so much time on my hands.

klutz.
last night,i fell down the stairs.
this morning, i slipped on the ice in the middle of the street.
and yes, there were cars passing by.
and i lost my shoe.
i am normally a klutz, but the amount of time i've spent on the ground in the last 12 hours seems to be a little extravagant even for me.
in other news:
i begin supervised participation tomorrow - spending the month of january with 7th graders. i can't wait, actually.
we bought a house plant. a philodendron. just in case we were not domestic enough before... it's official now.
i am also having quite the time trying to figure out what exactly i'm doing. or what i'm supposed to do. i'm not very good at this wife thing, i don't think. or maybe it's just that i haven't established what it's going to look like in our relationship. how i'm going to fulfill my role (what does this even mean?), keep my individuality, support my husband, be his partner, his companion, and not his servant girl.
he doesn't even like having a clean house.
which is good news, i think.
ok - well, i'm off - going to continue icing my bruised & swollen hip and ponder the essence of my wifelyness.
