stir crazy

winter.
I have a love hate relationship with it.
I love watching the snow fall.
hot chocolate.
snuggly on the couch.
warm cup of coffee.
cozy stuff.

I hate the cold.
grey days.
cold.
rain.
wet.
stuck inside for days.
hyper kids.
cold.

I am ready for winter to be over and blossom into spring.
Are days are becoming same old thing.
Stuck inside.
I have become "bored" with this routine.
We have become couch potatoes who are attached
to some electronic or another.

last night I made a "schedule" for today to get me motivated
to do something more with the day.
I stuck to it pretty close.
One of those things was if it was not raining
we were getting outside and going for a walk.

It felt good to get out.
Jordan needs it to.

I also limited the use of DS, TV, and ipad for Jordan.

After lunch I scheduled to read a chapter out of a book.
Sounds silly to schedule that but one of those things we need to do
more of and don't because of electronic use.

Tonight Josh and I are planning a date night!!
Michelle is going to Josh's parents for the weekend.
When Jordan heard that he instantly (and excitedly) thought he was going 
to my mom's house.  I told him that wasn't the case. 
I told if he wanted to call her he could.
She was more then happy to have him.
After his basketball game tonight he will go over there.
That gives Josh and I an opportunity to get out together!
I need to get out!
We have big plans to go to Costco and a movie!
