Melodye is....thinking

What a whacky fun world facebook can be. I'm finding it to be a great way to keep in touch with friends and family who live hours away; and those who live minutes away for that matter. Sadly, life with kids offers little 'me' time and spending time with friends (without kids along for the ride) requires lots of schedule juggling. I say 'sadly' but I do not mean I do not enjoy my kids! I'm thrilled to wear the Mommy hat! Before we had HC we wondered if we could ever become pregnant, so my role as Mommy is truly cherished! That being said.... I do miss friends/family in my life these days! There just isn't enough time in the day, so thank God for facebook!

Anyway, let's move this along shall we? Tonight I realized that I think I am experiencing some sort of winter-itis. I don't know the official name because I am not accustomed to winter weather. Sure, I am fully aware that my friends in the Dakota's cannot relate to my version of winter - I think my winter = their spring. But none the less in the world of Melodye this winter has been the most consistently cold winter I've had the pleasure of experiencing in years. Truly! So that is the reason behind my winter blues maybe?

We need to get outside. The 4 walls of this house are squeezing my guts out as we speak! To top things off we (the kids and I) are recovering from a cold. I know.. wah! wah! Well, lately I've been thinking and for me that isn't necessarily a good thing. Thinking is good in and of itself but when it is a constant noise within your head it can make a person loopy! I think I am feeling loopy.

So tonight, on this evening of February 24th at 10:10 pm I am officially saying 'SHUT UP' to my mind! There has been much time to think, as we've been couped up in this winter cage. No more thinking! And if I happen to catch myself thinking and you are near... if you hear me say "Shhh.. or hush" or something to that end... don't take it personally. I'm just talking to my busy mind. I'm ready to get the kids outdoors again and live. Enough time sitting and hiding from the wind/rain/cold temps! Now it is time for spring - I am declaring it spring today!

I'm renewing my mind this very moment and I put a stop to the noise of thoughts. I'm ready to get out and live life again! Too much time spent thinking leads to many unnecessary rabbit chases. Usually unproductive ones at that.
