Hey 2010...What did you bring me?

SNOW!!!!




It has been snowing here like crazy. I hate snow. HATE IT!!!! Since my husband is on the road I am the only one here to clean up this white sh...stuff. We have a snow blower which helps but as soon as I go outside Gavin starts screaming and I have to come back in. I sooooooo need a man or woman to come spend ten or so minutes a day snow blowing a path for me. Henry's school starts again tomorrow and that is going to make getting the snow moved even harder.
As I said in the earlier post, we've been sick here since Christmas. The house is a huge mess and laundry is taking over. I am trying to catch up but it feels like a losing battle. Having all this snow is really making me feel depressed. I almost hate to talk to my husband on the phone because I just want to cry when I talk to him. I am feeling overwelhmed.
I am trying to keep things in perspective...my problems are small. My friend (since high school) and fellow blogger was on the flight Christmas Day with the terrorist. She was seated 8 rows away and saw everything. Since then she and her husband have done interviews about what they saw. They are speaking out about the things that are being hushed up. Now some people are attacking them and calling them liars (among other not so nice things). These people almost lost their lives! I am glad you are still with us Lori!

Just relax girl... you have a whole year to get everything done (lol). Seriously, when I hear stories like yours today I always wonder how on earth I managed to cope with three small children. I do remember some harrowing times and all I can say is hang in there, it does get better, but then again, I never had to cope with shoveling snow...

Hey Nicole, holy cow you guys have a lot of snow. We have NONE. Can you believe that? Crazy. Same state, totally dif weather.

If it makes you feel better, I am trying to play catch up today too. My house is a freaking mess, laundry is insane and still behind from vacay......trying to catch up, but I am still sick too and tired from the media madness of the past week.

Anyway, I am thankful to be here too and be able to talk to you and read your blog! Hugs.

Oh I'm sorry it's driving you berserk! It's fully understandable, of course. It is, at least, pretty and perhaps when you're feeling better and it is warmer you'll enjoy the pictures. Thank you for sharing them.

I hope you're all well very soon. Please remember that heaving things off your chest is one of the things that can make you stronger, and more capable. It is important to keep things in perspective, but I think it's also okay to spend a few minutes admitting, "Okay, this part sucks. I know I can handle it and all...but there is suckage here, oh yes there is!" then we square our shoulders, and do what needs doing.

But sometimes that ten minutes of allowing ourselves to say, "This.is.Difficult! GAH!" is what makes it possible to do what we need to do.

I'm glad your blogging friend is okay, by the way. That plane full of people were so very lucky. Thank goodness.

Thank you all! I am having a moment (or week) of pure "poor me". I am tired of puke, poop, runny noses, and just trying to deal with everything by myself. It seems like every decision is mine and this isn't what I signed up for when getting married and having kids. Sometimes i wonder why I am even married since I make and do everything alone.
Gah! I am pathetic today.
