You would think after being off work for almost a week I'd have time to update the blog. However, Tim made a new discovery, Netflix Instant Play, and he hogged the computer ALL week. But now, since the Super Bowl is on, the computer is all MINE!!!! At one point this week, our computer crashed, and we thought we were going to have to take it somewhere to get fixed. But the roads were icy, and we couldn't get out. I was very frustrated, and from the other room, I heard DW say, "Don't get mad, get glad." I couldn't help but laugh! Luckily, the computer fixed itself overnight, and the next day it worked. Actually, I don't think it was luck - I'm thanking God for that little miracle!
Here is a recap of our week. We worked on Monday and then early Tuesday morning we got freezing rain, sleet, and then about 4 inches of snow. Then, the temps were below zero, so everything turned into slippery ice. The preschool where I work was closed the rest of the week. Friday, we were supposed to get a "dusting" of snow, but it turned into about 3 - 4 more inches on top of what we already had! Saturday, everything started melting so we finally got out to the grocery store. And today, we went to church!
Everyday, DW would ask, "Where are we going today mommy?" And, sadly, I'd tell him, nowhere because the roads are dangerous. We had to find alternate entertainment: putting out birdseed and then bird watching, cow watching, making cookies, painting pictures, building with legos, playing with the train set, watching lots of "Thomas" movies and PBS kids, and reading lots of books. I also trimmed the boys' hair and my own! We attempted to play in the snow, but it only lasted 10 minutes and then both boys were crying. HJ can't walk in the snow without falling down, and DW got snow in his mittens and had a meltdown. :(
I have enjoyed my time off (especially since I just replenished my supply of Diet Coke and chocolate!). I took a nap and exercised almost every day. I also cleaned and organized the hosue and worked on our taxes. Tim and I also watched a lot of movies and tv episodes from Netflix while the boys were asleep. I also got lots of cuddle time with both of my boys. Now, we're waiting to find out if we will have yet another day off. We are supposed to get more snow tonight, temps below freezing, and then another BIG snowstorm on Tuesday night/Wednesday. Below is a picture of our flooded backyard now that the snow is starting to melt. Hope everyone is staying warm!
