When it is cold outside you stay indoors. I have been raving about the rest and relaxation we have had as a family. Usually during a break from work I stay busy. This year things are different so I find myself indoors a lot. Today I made a morning run and came straight back home. Immediately I needed to feed C.J., who was awake and warming up to be her perky self. For the rest of the day it was the three of us lounging.
We all had things we could have been engaged in. I could have been arranging things for work. I could have cleaned the house which was my intention...I did at least start to clean some things out. I could have worked on the certificates I need to make for church tomorrow. I could have taken the truck to get the light fixed. I could have gone to the cleaners. I will not even add the things C.J. could have been doing instead of lounging, but the relaxation feels great.
What you need to understand is that it was very cold and windy outside today and when the weather is that frigid the best thing to do stay in. Sure all the things that needed to be done are important but getting a baby bundled up to go out is a chore. The longer we can avoid the wicked air with her the better. It was not until we began the church preparation process that we saw the need to go out. We had to, C.J. needed something to wear and none of the combinations that we had at home worked. So we had to break our rule and get ready to go out and brave the cold.
I will have you know that I believe C.J. felt nothing. If she could speak she probably would say that she was hot as H-E-double hockey sticks! Whenever we have her out, especially in weather such as this, we are well prepared.
So the cold kept C.J. and Daddy in for most of the day. However, when it comes to looking good, not even Mother Nature herself can stand in the way of Daddy and his Princess. So we headed and found what she needed...I must admit that Mommy gets the Gold Star for finding the ensemble. So through the brutal weather we made it back indoors where it is nice and warm. I will close with this though. When it is cold outside the best place to be is inside. You all have a great evening and always remember to pray. I do not need to say it, but just in case you forgot the rest, because prayer changes things!
