it's all in the family.

It's after school, we're getting out of the SUV to grab a bite to eat at Wendy's and Tim Horton's and my brother comments as he's opening my door, "You have bags under your eyes." Well, gee, thanks. I began to protest, "I do not!" And then I caught a glimpse of myself in the window reflection. Yes I did. I had bags under my eyes. I have NEVER had bags under my eyes. It just seems like everything is running a million directions lately.
We have a lot going on in our family, my Grandpa is in the hospital, my mom is busier than she's ever been in her home businesses, and my Dad is in the middle of a job transition coming up January. And that's just them! I feel like the minute I get home from classes, I rapidly change out of my uniform, take a five minute breather and dive right into Math 12 problems for the 3rd hour that day, or print off extra literary essays and questions to help me adequately pretend I know what I'm writing about when it comes to in-class essays. After less than an hour of that (don't want to lose the light!) I throw on my workout sweats and I'm out the door with my dog and my ipod. I arrive back 40 minutes later, freezing cold, (It won't budge above 0-2 degrees Celsius right now!) tired, sweaty and hungry. A shower, a snack, and back to the homework. Oh look, it's dinner. Help with dinner. Clean up with dinner. Time for more studying/reading. Oh wait, I have a business. Ah! Life, life, life!
But that's just venting. Everything is better on a Saturday. Today is Saturday and it's SNOWING!! So we're doing beautiful. It's SO pretty: the first snowfall of the year. And how perfect! On December 1st! Back to why I started this post, my brother. At the end of my week, I needed a "pick-me-up"--something to get the "bags" out from under my eyes, if you will. I managed to convince my brother to traipse around the neighbourhood with me and my camera and here's the result.
