Early Morning Adventures

     Well, now, this morning has been one for the books. Upon my early waking, I realized just how bitter cold it was in the house. With no electricity, and our propane heater set to a two the house had cooled down significantly. I quickly hurried and took a rather cold half bath to get ready for work. 

    I went outside and discovered that my car would definitely need at least a 30 minute thaw out. It always seems to amaze me just how cold it can get on mornings like this. As I made my way down our frozen mud puddle driveway, I noticed that the gate was open. So imagine this, wet, hair, dress professionally for work and now I have to gather all my goats. Luckily they are all food motivated, but still if it could've went wrong this morning it did. Armed with only the flashlight on my cell phone, I made my way to the goat, shed to ensure myself that they had hay. Yes, I will walk through the field in the muck to make sure everything is OK.

    My adventure did not in there. Apparently, if you have an open field, that is not fenced in that makes it prime camping. I handled it this morning, and I hope that they are up and gone before my husband wakes up. I'm not so sure they will get the greeting that I gave them from him. Yeah I'll wake you up with a bunch of beeps and shouting. Go find somewhere else to pitch your tent. Clearly they can afford to stay in a hotel in this kind of weather, driving a beautiful Jeep Gladiator truck. They are sitting on the back of it was kind of like a pop-up tent that sets all the way from the back of the truck to the ground. They were quickly gathering all their items as they were heading out my driveway. I didn't stay to watch though.

    Even driving up my secondary road was treacherous this morning. It took me three tries to get up by the cemetery due to ice. I am really gonna have to invest in a four-wheel-drive. My gas saver clown car just cannot get the job done on days like this. Needless to say I will be around 20 minutes late getting to work. Oh, and if you're wondering how I'm able to post this? I am sitting at a stoplight waiting for the construction people to let me through. I have been sitting in one location for over 30 minutes. Oh the adventures early mornings get me into!

Lists Again

        While cleaning out some storage boxes today I found various books with list being used as book marks. These books are well worn and have been read dozens of times. The lists were left in chapters that I deemed important. I reread some of the saved items and soon discovered that I had a list of what my thirties need to look like. It's a laughable concept. I really had all these plans as to how my thirties would look and be. Let me share a few of them with you.  #4. I will be an independent woman that doesn't rely on any man.  #9. I will have obtained a master's degree in some field that has purpose.  #21. I will live somewhere far away from town.  #24. I will have the job I have been wanting my whole life.  #31. Break away from family that doesn't see me for me.  #39. Buy a car that no one else has ever owned.         Context:         I wrote this list as a first year teacher. I was 21 ...

Lists Continued

 I will share some of my old lists. Not all content is sharable.   #14. Leave all unfinished business in the past.      I wish I could tell you guys what this was referencing, but I cannot remember. This list was made so many years ago. I wanted to do "this" before I turned 30. I can just about bet it had something to do with an old flame or some transgression I had with a peer. In my younger years I was so full of life bursting with opinionated attitude. Not caring what others thought about me was freeing in many ways. It was my way or the high. I was not well liked and often struggled with friendships. The younger me was so self confident and self assured. I knew what I wanted and went for it. She could have conquered the world. I was voted by my peers my high school year as being the most outspoken. I would say my peace and move on.      I admire the younger me. She was inspiring and willing to push through what ever wall got in her way. I gues...

Lists 2.0

 #40. Fly in a plane.  Check A+.       I did end up flying in a plane. The year I turned 30 was one of the best year's of my life so far. My best friend/ sister convinced me to go to the infamous Vegas. The four hour flight was breathtaking and I will forever remember the feeling of lifting off. I do not ever really want to fly again. We hit some MAJOR turbulence on the way home and I was frightened to the point I had a panic attack.      We enjoyed seven days of shows,  shopping, and exploring. We averaged over 15,000 steps a day and slept well at night. That was what life was like before children. My sister and I could take off with a moment's notice and go where ever. We took off to NYC to watch the ball drop one year. As it turns out it isn't an actual ball at all.  #45. Save a life.      Well, this one is really out there. Let me think...   I have saved a life but not like a you are thinking though. I go and...
