We were planning a trip to the store when

I don't have the right vehicle for this kind of weather. We live on a hill and either way we travel it is a steep climb to get to the store. Earlier it wasn't so bad and I should have left then! Now I think it's too icy to go out in our little Saturn. Yet I am extremely grateful I got those new tires last week! I suppose I'll stay home and wrap presents or clean or iron clothes while my girl naps today. You know, we may be home by ourselves, but we still have a very good life. I can't imagine doing anything else at this season of my life. I like to think of myself as "getting a Master's in Human Development" while I stay at home and raise my children into adults. I can't imagine a more important position in life. I truly love it. Hooray for my husband who works so diligently so I can fulfill my dreams of raising the kids and running our home. He's a good man I tell you.
