Wow - the last week has been rough. We have had such cold weather with ice and tons of snow - well, at least tons for us. School was canceled for Jeff and Andrew almost every day last week - all but Monday. Andrew's tubes were scheduled for Friday and they were canceled due to the snow. It's a good thing because we could not even get the car out of the driveway to get there.
We finally got a reprieve from this bad weather just in time for Dallas to host Superbowl XLV. The weather on Sunday was gorgeous. Kinda cold, but not a cloud in the sky and perfect football weather. We decided to host a party and invite a few friends over to enjoy the Superbowl with us in the "cheap seats" known as our house. It was crazy to know that this huge event was going on in our city and we stayed in and watched it with friends at home. We had about 20 people who joined us as we enjoyed the commercials, cheered on the Packers, ate way too much and enjoyed the break from the freezing weather. It was nice and a very much needed stress relief.
Just when we thought the bad weather was over, it's back with a vengeance. Last night, we enjoyed a 50 degree night and woke up to ice, snow and canceled school again. The wind chill is making things feel like we are in the single digits. It's crazy and most of us are not cut out for this. There was a graphic going around Facebook last week of how we react to Snow and Ice after a day or two. It's too true to not post. Totally.Stir.Crazy. And, this is coming from someone who works from home. But usually, working from home does not include: 1) Dogs too cold to go outside so they keep "going" in the house right next to my desk, 2) No eggs, no milk, no bread, no imagination and definitely no desire to cook. 3) A child with double ear-infections who is not in the mood to nap. 4) A husband freaking out about missing school and getting time to study. 5) A cold that I've had for about 10 days that just won't let go...guess it's the stress.
Bring on the Spring! I've had about all the snow and ice that I need for this season.
One last thing - A huge thank you to my mother-in-law for coming over and rescuing us with child care assistance, cooking assistance and wine-drinking assistance (that one is with me, not Andrew. ;-) )
