I do not know which I am more sick of the snow or the dvd my daughter keeps requesting to watch! I am so over snow that I really do not know what else to do. For the first couple of days, the snow was absolutely beautiful. My kids and I watched movies,  played games, and played in the snow. It was great. My kids are very interesting and entertaining little beings! My son and daughter spent majority of the weekend watching Michael Jackson’s dvd “This Is It”. We spent Saturday afternoon remaking Michael Jackson’s song “They Don’t Really Care About Us” and dancing to “Thriller”. We had a ball! However, by Monday…all of us were over the snow, movies, and being in the house. It is one thing to have the option of going out of the house, but to be completely snowed in…is a completely different story.  By Monday afternoon my kids were driving one another craxy, and I found myself saying over and over “I will look back on these times and cherish these moments, but we have to get out of this house!” The blizzard of 2010 will definitely be a memory we will never forget.

It has been a while since I posted a blog and I thought what perfect way to express myself and share my thoughts openly, as opposed to writing in my journal tonight.  This evening I went and saw my accountant  and in the midst of our meeting, we started talking about relationships, men & women. Why is it during the times when we need to talk the most or communicate the most in a relationship, we shut down, therefore pushing the other person away.  Shutting down neither solves the issue but deepens the hurt, and pushes the other person away.   In relationships there will always be ups and downs, good times and challenging times. Men and Women have to be committed to sticking it through and being open and willing to be vulnerable and accepting of each other.  There was a moment in time when i thought that people gave up on love too easily but that is not true. The truth is that there are many, many couples who are in it for the long haul and are truly committeed to making their relationship work and I am convinced..that one of the primary keys in a long, lasting, fulfilling relationship for life is committment.
