"My House is a Wreck!"

Hi! I am Elizabeth. Things have been happening pretty fast in my life! I
just married Mr. Right, became a stepmother to two fabulous kiddos, and had a
new baby- all in the last year and a half! Add a couple of moves and my 36th
birthday in there and you will understand why I am feeling the need to record
this crazy stage of our lives! At least now I can come back and read about it
someday- I know I won't remember! Oh, and keep in mind that I while I am posting
the good memories and high points of our daily life- my house really is a wreck!

Snow Day!

Thought I would share a few pics of John Stephen in the snow!  We have had two snows in the last few weeks!  Add that to Martin Luther King Jr day and we have had a leisurely pace around here lately!  We have been cuddled up by the fireplace eating comfort food for WAY TOO LONG!  I am ready to stop the insanity!  Speaking of fireplace...

We have two gas log fireplaces in our new house.  I have always preferred a wood burning fireplace, but my allergies are so terrible that sometimes a wood fire gives me problems.  And, since our house came with gas fireplaces- we didn't see the need to convert them back to wood burning.  Anyway, getting to the point, the fireplaces are the only things in our home that run on gas.  And we have been very liberal in our fireplace use age- every night, all day on weekends, all day on snow days etc...I have been dreading the bill from our gas company!  My biggest fear has been that it will be exorbitantly expensive and I will have to ration out my fire time!  So it came today- $11.96.  That is what it is every month when we do not even use the gas!  So, I guess they decided not to check our meter every month?  My big delima now is whether to leave well enough alone, or call the gas company.  I could see us getting a $6000 bill in April after a winter of glowing fires!  Oh well, at least we are toasty here!
