Thanks!!
I was just trying to look serious. Which is absolutely, totally not like me at all! LOL
But I love the way the pic came out.
And I have to hand props out where props are due. My 8yr old daughter took the pic.
She did a fine job of it I think.
Happy TLD!

I guess your daughter inherited her mom's knack for photography--but the mom is also very photogenic. I'm very jealous--I'm terribly the opposite.

wow! the pics are great! you have come a long way!

have a good day

Lookin' good Bell!

As far as the snow days, just remember they basically have to know about 2 hrs ahead of time what they can do as far as delaying and such. And just because main roads are clear doesn't mean the sides or back roads are clear. Not that I don't advocate sending the kids to school or anything of the sort, it's just a safety concern more or less. I also enjoyed the day here with just the younger one and not the teen - it was so peaceful until he came home.

I'm so tired of the snow too! We don't even get as many snow/delays as the public school gets either. I was just amazed we got one the other day. In fact today when I talked to the guy who calls the delays at our school. They weren't even going to do it until East Noble and Dekalb called it - and then they weren't too sure, except that since we are a private school parents come from all over and 35% come from the Ft. where it hit worse than up here.

Hi Bella, I hope work is okay this weekend. Didn't hubby buy you some extra warm stuff to wear? I hope you stay warm.

Great pic, Bella!
Your kids are amazing photographers! You should be proud!

I wish we had a little snow here...haven't seen one snowflake all winter.

Thanks Kimberly,
Yeah hubs did get me some new stuff. The mittens work great. Unfortunately the woolie socks were way to small and actually hurt to wear.
Thanks for the warm wishes. I hope that it will be a good weekend. With Easter coming up I can be pretty sure that it will be a late night.

Well once again the work weekend is upon me.
Should be a pretty busy weekend as Easter is just around the corner. It's a pretty major holiday as far as groceries go. I had thought to get some of my exercise time in today before I had to head off for work but that won't be happening. I have to pick up my oldest at school at 10:30 today since he is going on a CIY (Christ in Youth) conferance. Once I get him dropped at the church I will be spending the early afternoon with hubby studying a new financial plan that we hope to get going here at home. After that is lunch and then off to work.
So if I am going to get any nap at all it will have to be in the next 10 minutes.
So I hope that everyone has a great weekend.
Catch ya all later!

Busy Busy Busy. I hope you get your nap in. They can be CRUCIAL!!

have a good weekend yourself!

make sure you get a good rest!

Have a good nap Bella! Naps are such a wonderful thing.

p.s.: Just a little thing...Did you know that Bella is the italian word for beautiful(feminine)? You chose the perfect screenname for you!

Hi Dawn

I love the new picture / avatar. Your face looks so much slimmer. You are very photogenic and your daughter has taken a great picture of you there.

I had to do such a lot of catching up on you to see what you have been up to. I was laughing so loud when I read about you being stuck in the driveway - my hubby wanted to know what I was laughing at.

I am sorry that you are extra busy at work at the minute. We all buy extra food for bank holidays - and I suppose that it is people like you that suffer every time we do it.

I hope that things are generally going well for you (apart from being rushed off your feet). I hope that you managed to get the nap.

How is the cabbage eating going? If you are anything like me - better than the dancing would have gone!

Take care
Love
Margaret

Hmmm...I think Margaret needs to pay us a visit during winter next year, and we'll get stuck on purpose and make her get out and push while we sit in the car and LAUGH....

Well, I hope you got that nap in, and that they don't work you too hard this weekend.

Ahhh!
It is so nice to get on here after being gone (basically! LOL) for all weekend and see that people have stopped by to wish me well.
Thanks to everyone!

Brandy
Thanks for continuing to drop in on me and leave me encouraging words! I need to get over to your diary soon and do the same for you.

Angel
As always I look forward to you visiting me in my diary. Thanks for the well wishes for a good weekend.

Wow! I never knew that Bella meant beautiful. But I guess it does not surprise me in the least as my screen name is actually a play on words of sorts. We call our daughter Bella sometimes and when she was small she would introduce herself as Isabellarina (pronounced E-Sah-Bell-Ah-Reen-Ah)
And of course she IS beautiful!

Margaret
Thank you for the kind words on my new avi. I was quite astonished myself to see how much of a difference there was!!!
I'm glad that you got a chuckle out of my misfortune with getting stuck in the neighbors driveway. I can tell you at the time that I was not laughing. But can look at it now and see how funny it was.
As for the cabbage I have one cup down and four more to go.
Thanks for the well wishes at work. I sure did need them this weekend.

Kimberly
I absolutely agree that Margaret needs to come and visit. I think your idea of having her push the car is hilarious! LOL
She wouldn't be laughing next time would she!?

Hey how are the workouts going?? are you still enjoying them? When does school get out there?? our school is out in May, YEAH! however, my boys are past that now, but still do online classes and such, so I guess they are technically still in the school district. LOL LOL I'm so ready for a vacation it's not funny, but I think me and H are going to wait another month and give the weather a little more time to warm up, we like to spend time outstide and it's better to wait for the upper 70's to show up, that's the best time.

Are you doing anything special for Easter??
