Stolen Time

Buy A Little House

I’m tired, but I’m not tired. Do you know what I mean? I feel like Frost, I have miles to go before I sleep. This week is getting the better of me. I have still found things to smile over and small blessings in my day, but, I am so ready for the weekend. I don’t feel that I have had one moment to truly catch my breath.

I think I have to give up on my dream of a snow day as the days are moving more and more into Spring. However, our nights have been very cold and there is usually frost on the ground in the morning. So, now I will dream of the weekend, because all I want to do is lay in bed with Mr. Michie, go for a long walk, get some coffee, make a loaf of bread, watch a good movie and just be.

I wanted a snow day, not only because I LOVE snow, but because it is stolen time, an unexpected gift to make all your own. So, this weekend amongst all the things that must be done, we are going to find some time to steal and make our own.

I love the picture above and it always makes me think of my favorite Feist song. In true Feist fashion the video is a bit wacky, but the lyrics speak volumes to me. Happy Wednesday!

We’ve Made It!

Sleeping Pug

I’m pooped! It took us four days to get back home to London. Which in turn gave us an extra night with our family (a true blessing), a night snowed in at a Chicago hotel with movies and great pizza, and an all day wait at the airport, praying we would be lucky enough to get standby seats and not have to return to a hotel. Our prayers were answered and we touched down at 5:22am. It is always bittersweet to come home. I love London, but I miss the people that I leave behind.

We got home, showered, did a few odds and ends and then spent the day running errands, trying to get caught up for the beginning of the working week. And what a week it has been; long days, where I could have almost fallen asleep standing up accompanied by a lot of long nights as there has just been so much going on. I’ve hardly been able to catch my breath.

So, to say that I am elated that it is FRIDAY, is an understatement! There is still so much to get caught up with this weekend, but one thing’s for sure, I am definitely going to try and catch up on a little sleep.

The weekend is HERE! Long may it last!
