It's Still Cold, Even in the House!

I am so ready for spring to get here; will the cold never go away?  We had 2 days in the '50s but now it is rainy again and has dropped to a bone-chilling temp.  Our electric heaters are having to work overtime.  This house is old, built in the '70s.  It is drafty around doors & windows.  These windows aren't like the new ones people put into houses for energy savings.  To me, it feels like a sheet of saran wrap instead of glass.  I can feel air blowing in around the doors and outlets.  We've even taped along where the door closes and all the other edges of the door to block the wind. It was nice when we replaced all the old carpeting with floor tiles, but they are cold in winter.  Oh well, it supposed to get nicer this week.
This is the first day of March, a busy month in our family.
Birthdays:
  • My sister Lisa, March 8
  • My daughter Wendy, March 10
  • My birthday March 14
  • Kennedy March 16
  • My dad's birthday March 17
  • My anniversary (of my first marriage) March 18
I'll be heading to 52 this year.  I don't know what happened, one day I was young and now I'm not.
I feel like I've lived for a very long time, but at the same time, I don't feel like its been long at all.
I feel like I've lived different lives also, BUT not like those strange people who believe in past lives!  I mean different phases of my life.

  • Childhood
  • new bride at 19
  • a mother to two daughters
  • a widow
  • a single mom to two teen daughters
  • a college student
  • a new bride again at age 37
  • new mom again
  • home-school teacher
  • pastor's wife
  • mother of the bride twice
  • grandma...

Time goes on, so who knows what surprises the years ahead will bring, only God.
