In-laws are leaving tomorrow...finally! I have to admit that today was pretty nice. Most likely due to the step-MIL not being there.
I had a lovely lunch my my step-mom earlier today at Green Tea. Love that place, great sushi lunch specials! Then we loaded up Sophia and headed to meet Dean's dad and sister at Mountain Play Lodge. The girls had a blast, I can't even explain how great this place is. We're definitely having Sophia's birthday party there this year. Aside from FIL's usual ranting about money and cars, it was actually pretty fun. I was dreading dinner though; apparently dear step-MIL had a pretty sucky day, which meant she was sure to be crabby, self-righteous, and passive aggressive all night.
Then sweet, sweet mother nature stepped in. Snow, beautiful snow began to pour down, effectively canceling that unbearable dinner with the dragon lady. Not a huge fan of driving in the stuff due to our lack of 4WD/AWD, but we got home safely and now there's a beautiful dusting of powder on the ground.
I am hoping that the snow will melt tomorrow though. Wednesday I get to pick up my textbooks for Spring semester which starts on Monday. I must say, I'm actually looking forward to school starting back up. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the breaks when I get to spend so much more time with my sweet baby girl, but I also like the routine of school. I like feeling like I'm doing something everyday. I know it sounds crazy, but I love the pressure and the challenge of the classes. I'm excited about A&P and Microbiology. I'm also excited about trying out a new routine for Sophia and I. For some reason they haven't started learning letters yet in preschool, so I am going to do one letter every day with her. We'll come up with words that start with the letter, find pictures of things that start with the letter to make a collage with, and try writing the letter in uppercase and lowercase. I want to make the most of the quality time we have together, so I thought this would be fun and educational.
Well, I suppose I'd better get to bed. Lots of cleaning up and organizing to do before I start school!
