Ice Ice Baby
At 6:49 this evening, I found myself taking pictures of a pile of pistachio shellings.
Who doesn't love pistachios? They are surely addictive. To me, part of the charm is the actual process of shelling them and dislodging that striking green nut before you pop it into you mouth.
But then again, maybe it's me being stir crazy after a couple of days at home due to an icy coating that blanketed trees and roads.
I'm happy that we are safe and warm. As an added bonus, the ice is adding extra dimension to our Christmas lights.
I'm glad the boys put up with me. I had a slight meltdown last night since the combination of holiday overload, work overload, and house-full-of-boys overload seemed to combine in some random vortex of stress. A couple of tears, some daily husband-wife hashing it out, some hugs from His Honor and I was generally good to go.
We are getting there.

And I hear ya on the meltdown thing - sometimes a gal just needs one every now and then to release some of that tension and stuff. Altho, I guess if you ask our husbands, they would beg to differ!
But thank goodness they stick around and try to understand us, right? =)
