We just got 29 inches of snow...on top of the 6 inches we got a week ago. Now, we're in store for another ten inches this Tuesday. WTF?
Is Mother Nature trying to test my patience? My marriage? My ability to come with endless ideas of things that my twins can do while I'm just trying to hold onto my last scrap of sanity?
Then, there's Husband. God love him...all he tries to do is get the information out there. However, when you're the only member of his audience, it starts to get a little depressing. There's no good weather news right now. He just thinks it's his job to tell me about all of the bad shit that's going to happen. Honestly? I'd rather not know! I'd rather be surprised than be dreading it for the next two days. He is an amazing shoveler though and he told me my hair looked good today...I'll keep him around. Love you, Honey!
Where are we going to put ten more inches? How the hell am I going to get out of my driveway? As it is, I can barely see above/around the snow drifts that have been plowed against the bottom of my driveway. I have seriously considered canceling my mail for this week b/c I feel so badly for our mail-lady. She's old and I can't possibly give her a clear path to the mailbox (however several people on my street have kindly taken care of this for her - just making me look bad). I just don't want her to get hurt...I may still do it...we'll see how it goes tomorrow!
In all honesty, this snowstorm probably wouldn't be this bad if both kids didn't have horrible colds (on top of teething) and were so needy that I can't even believe it! Yes...both of them...at the same time. In fairness, Matt got the cold first and he's starting to get better first. Hailey actually slept right next to me last night (never happens and I'll never understand attachment parenting...no offense if that's your bag) which made for hardly any sleep for me until I finally put her back in her room at 3:20 AM. Oh, and she finally broke skin with one of her lovely biting moments...she bit Matt right on the back...who does that? Photo proof (if you click on the second one, I believe you could actually record her dental records):
Okay, so you want good news? I have had plenty of wine in stock this weekend. Bill and I have gotten along relatively well. I have managed to get some of my most annoying tasks out of the way. I wasn't that jealous that my Mom was visiting my Sister this weekend (God knows, I wouldn't have wanted anyone else to endure this madness). We were able to Skype with them...that's pretty cool. I "heart" the Doritos commercials for the Superbowl...funny shit. I have had a lot of coffee thanks to my Dad's awesome Christmas gift. We have utilized the basement very effectively (ya know...like a holding cell for drunks)! Oh, and I made some Deceptively Delicious banana bread...yummmmmm...needed more banana though. There were also these cute twin moments:
Okay, I feel better now that I focused on good stuff...sorry for all of the ranting...it just needed to happen!

LOL! Ten more inches...Well here in OK we have gotten more snow this winter then I have seen in my life! I am so tired of it! I am tired of cleaning up after the salt, snow and mud from when people are in and out of the house, I am tired of cleaning up around the fire place..okay I have bitched enough...Crazy on the bite marks!!
You must be going stir crazy. We've had our fair share of days snowed into our home, but it hasn't happened since we had the twins (knocking fiercely on wood). Skyping is always a good distraction!
I don't think I can take another inch of snow!!! We totally embraced the "family nap" this weekend! And I got to finish shoveling out my car, hooray! Of course I insisted on driving, around the unplowed block twice, go me!
Ok your pics just loaded and wow! She really meant business! I don't think I could handle that!
It has definitely been a long couple of days... with more to come!
Sorry the kiddos aren't feeling well. Keep that wine stocked up!
Yeah I can understand why you're sick of the snow...10 inches is a lot!!! I'm talking about the snow! 10 inches in another way wouldn't be such a bad thing!
OMG, the biting...Cole and Landon are my biters. Cole almost got kicked out of preschool in the first week because of his biting. He's cool now but Landon bites and he breaks skin almost every time.
With Cole, we broke the habit by making him drink a couple drops of vinegar from a medicine dropper. He hated it and it pretty much cured the biting problem.
Landon actually likes the vinegar so I haven't found a way just yet to break him of the habit. What kind of kid LIKES the taste of vinegar?
You do know you can do a "hold mail" order on line, right?
Regarding biting .., call me!
I hate the snow! I may be able to get out to Target today to restock:) Puck was a biter....horrible times;) He but the back of our neighbors kid....uggghh. I'm glad I can look back and laugh at it now, and the neighbors are still out friends!
Hailey, Hailey, Hailey, be NICE to your brother! That didn't work?
I'm sick of the snow here too. Its nothing like what you have. I bet your just about to loose it.
Hailey is biting her bro huh. I've been there. Just the beginning of her "standing up for herself". HAHA. That was always my excuse.
I have biters as well (and mine are definitely old enough to know better!) They have left a full set of impressions on each other more than once.
I am glad to hear that everyone is tolerating the snow relatively well, and I hope you are able to get out soon!
