Dusting

We got a little snow last night.  Very thankful that it was just a little snow.  I don't know that I am ready to wield the snow shovel right now.  I think perhaps I am just a bit tired from a week of sickly children.  I need to get ready for that snow though.  It will be here soon.  That is okay, I will be ready for it and grateful for what it provides the land. 

Although it was just a dusting there was one AndyBoy that really wanted to go sledding.  I said know a few times and then I said why.  He didn't like being told no and he carried on and on.  Once I explained why we wouldn't be out playing in the snow he accepted it and we didn't discuss it again.  The why was that he has been sick all week with a cough and sore throat.  Going out and playing in the cold would not help the cough and would only make it worse.  He cannot miss more school next week because I lest him go outside to play in the snow today.  It just seemed to click and it was nice not to have to continue to say no. 

I am completely exhausted and will close this out.  I am feeling a bit sickly tonight and am hoping it is just exhaustion and not what the kids have had.  I really don't have time for that, not even a dusting.
