True Stories

You know it's winter when:

• Your toddler touches your bare leg and recoils in horror and says, "Ouch."

• Slippers replace your flip flops as the shoe of choice.

• Your husband recoils in horror when he touches your bare leg.

• You try to stick to the main food groups: candy, candy canes, candy corns and syrup.

• Sleeping in your socks, jammies, and bathrobe under a huge flannel blanket is a necessity in order not to freeze to death in your sleep.

OK. I've reached a conclusion--you must write every day. My life depends on it. I've become a stalker to some of your stalked blogs. It has become an obsession. Two things--1.) I too know what it's like to get side tracked when cleaning. Every night before I go to bed, I have such high hopes for all I will accomplish the next day (re. cleaning, organizing, etc.). I don't know what happens between falling asleep and waking up, but the feeling just isn't there anymore. I make an attempt, but I find myself checking blogs--which can eat up my entire day (it's all your fault). 2.) My legs are hairier. Hugs, as always. BTW, I LOVE the pic of Princess' feet in the wee shoes...priceless.

I am also a silent fan of your blog. I look everyday and keep putting off writing my own. I am finding myself wearing slippers everywhere I go. I got a kind that have a slight appearance of looking like boots and so I wear them ALL the time. Love your stories.

Yay! I love you guys!
Tami, I wish we were closer because we're so much a like! BTW, I totally check your "blog" to see if there is anything there yet ... when oh when?? I need to see a pic of your kids! Are the twins getting so big! Give hugs to all the East Coast Smiths from us!!

When my kids recoil and say "OUCH" when they touch my legs, it means I should shave.

I am wearing my puffy coat while typing this. No lie--I swear. I seriously am. So yes! It IS winter!

You are so funny. I aspire to be you. I read "True Stories" out loud to Lane ... he sympathizes with Steve on the bare leg.
