windblown...




It is a crazy windy day...

I haven't taken any cool pictures since our ski trip, but I just felt like blogging this afternoon. Today, as I drove up the driveway, I noticed that the chair on our front porch had been blown into the yard. The neighbors had just told me that their grandchildren said they saw Dexter on the porch, but we always leave him inside, so we shrugged it off...I mean, what do kids know? (kidding.) So the chair had been holding our screen door closed because the latch is broken, and the wind also blew our front door open, so Dexter was indeed just hangin' out on the front porch today. Luckily he was able to get back inside - I haven't figured out how yet- or else he may have been blown away!!

Not only does this blog title represent the weather today, but it is a metaphor for my life right now. I have a fuller plate than I have ever experienced in my life! (again with the metaphors!) Amidst the yearbook deadline, teaching a research paper to eighth graders, my middle school play, and all the other directions I feel pulled in, "windblown" describes just how I feel. So, I just had to settle in for a few hours and take a break from the craziness...before it's back to work tonight!

Isn't it funny how you'de never think you would have to do as much as you did in middle school again, and here you are.
I'm so glad little Dexter is alright. Cool Picture!
