Really? Why does it always get worse before it gets better? Okay, I used up all my fun yesterday. I should have listened to Brian, again. The roads are now icy. The fun we were trying to make by walking across the ice but breaking it, has now truly become a crosswalk. Slippery, dangerous, neighbors can't get to their houses up the street because we are on a slight hill. It's hard to get momentum on the bottom and driving up a street that has cars on it is challenging as well! There was no mail yesterday, no trash yesterday. I suspected there would be none today, and at least I was right on that!
Now it is COLD. 5degrees outside with windchill -12. Not a place I send my kids for much fun. They were out for all of 10 minutes I think. So, guess who is the entertainment? Oh no, not me, the TV! I listened to arguing, debates, teasing, crying, whinning, and angry stomping, all before 9am. Leah has cried about something all day. Of course she makes me feel bad about not liking her for a few hrs when she decides to get in my lap on the couch and fall asleep. Why do kids melt you like that? It's just not fair!
Brian has been home for 2 days also, wanting to go here and there, driving around! Really? He did take Michelle and Carolyn to the pond in the neighborhood to see if you could walk on it. They took Benji for the test dummy. Poor dog, he was so cold when they got back. Apparently the pond isn't frozen yet!
They are roasting marshmallows again as I am getting to finally be on the computer alone. No wonder why I never post anymore! I don't type as well with 1 hand! It helps that I am enjoying martinis tonight. I don't think I could make it to bedtime tonight otherwise. But when you have a drink that looks fun, kids want some too. So, Mommy made kid martinis and it's amazing how wonderful they've been ever since! (Well, the sugar from the marshmallows helps!).
However, even though I survived Day 2, I don't know if they will on Day 3............
