Snow Dogs

No school today, again. The kids are in heaven. I had the whole Costanza gang over for a really nice "cold weather" dinner: Steak, roasted potatoes, warm mushroom salad with Stilton. It was a great success, if I do say so myself.

I was just so happy to be able to stay home yesterday, and cook. Kind of giddy, actually. I feel me coming back. I'm excited about Christmas, and decorating and getting a tree. I was afraid that I'd be dreading the holidays this year--but instead, I feel alive again. What a relief. I feared I might be lost for good. I'm starting to see myself in the mirror again.

SO glad I don't need to drive anywhere today: road conditions are even worse than yesterday, with ice just everywhere.

This is Coal's first snow, Mocha's second. The Snow Dogs love it!
