I'm Back ~

Ok, so this may sound a little nuts, but I've been sad since "shutting down" my blog. It was a little like leaving a friend behind. I seriously thought about starting a new one, but after thinking about all the time I've spent on this one and all the words I've shared, it didn't seem like the thing to do. So, I did a little Blogger research and found out that as long as I ignore those pesky little sites they will go away. I'm willing to try it and see what happens. If you follow my blog, you might find it's going to be a little different in the future. I'm not going to say how though; maybe it will be so subtle you won't even notice. :)

Now on with the show...

I was catching up on blogs in my reader this morning and while reading Katie's blog I came across a site I've been meaning to check out. Log Your Memory is a journaling site that gives you prompts on fun things to journal about. I. Love. This. There are times (believe it or not) that I really have no idea what to journal or blog about. Today's fun little topic is all about the time change that happened over the weekend...

I love this time change. I'm sure there are plenty of people out there who will think I'm crazy for saying that. I mean what is fun about less daylight? There are many reasons why I love it, but number one is I think my body rebels against the whole Spring Forward thing. My internal clock never really seems to catch on to that and when we Fall Back I feel like I'm back to my old self. Number 2: as a mom it's really hard to get my kids to bed at a decent hour when it's still light outside. At the end of the summer I put black out curtains on their windows, and it has helped, but when they know it's still light outside and they could still be outside playing it's hard to wind them down. Number 3: I love love love dark cold winter nights with the fire going when we're all cozy in the house. It makes me happy.

So there you have it. A little bit of the quirky me. Oh and in keeping up with all the gratefulness that's going around these days...I'm really grateful that my farmer knows how to set the clock on my stove. It's the little things. :)
