"She has a choice, she can either accept a life of misery or she can struggle against it. And she chooses to struggle... she fails in the end, but there's something beautiful, even heroic in her rebellion" - Little Children 

I think that this winter I have read more than in a year. I completed  the Twilight series of books (4 in all) in two weeks, read "Little Children" and "Say When" the next two weeks. Winter does that to me, makes me pull into my "cancer" shell and shut out the rest of the world, except when I took this it made me feel like a new person. If you don't have a passion then you won't understand, but for me, getting outside, even in 10* weather, and taking photos and making them my own makes me feel so damn good. I need to do it more, I was only out there for 10 minutes, but damn it felt good.

"I wish you could step out of yourself and just look"  - The Dreamers

A very good friend of mine had to remind me today that I need to do this every now and then. It's hard, I get caught up in kids and housework and I forget these things, that I am a woman, that I am sensual and compassionate and passionate. That I need to look in the mirror and see that person looking back at me. 

This is for you bebe... thank you for being a friend and for reminding me of such important things. 

After a long long week of snow days maybe they will actually go on Monday, God willing. :D 

How to survive a snow day

So I sneak in the room because they are WAY too quiet and this is what I find. :) Now.. being the photog/mammarazzi that I am, instead of rescuing poor Jack I grab my camera. :) I couldn't believe the expression I captured from him. HAHA! After the lip gloss, they dressed him in brown polka dots and a hair clip. 

So... to survive, just play along, play princess, let your hair down... so to speak and hopefully tomorrow they will go to school... God willing.
