like next WINTER.
I was so excited to see spring come.
It's here, and things outside are a white wonderland, after the blustery blizzard conditions have settled down, yet again.
I wouldn't mind that so much, if it weren't for the -cooped up indoors with all the kids just when I was hoping for several consecutive days of available outdoor play, allowing the children to run around, get some fresh air and sunshine, and expend some of the amazingly high level of energy they wake up with each morning- part.
Bobby was working late last night. During a brief reprieve from the snowfall, I, the super smart person I am decided to take the kids to COSTCO. Little did I know it was coming ba-ack. Why don't I watch the news more? We drove all the way home, our 30+ miles in a white out. Eeek. I could not see, I could not see. Not good on the nervous system. I was praying out loud all the way. Running out of new things to say to God quickly, it became the same petition over and over, but I continued to say it anyway. I was thinking to my *smart* self, at least we have $300 worth of food with us, and some nice long seats to sprawl out on. If we get slide off the road and get stuck, it may not be so bad. We could partake in several handfuls of organic sugar, dry grape nuts, chunks of cheese, green bananas, and hard uncooked rice, topping our gourmet meal off with dollops of delicious sour cream. (Oh, and diapers. Have you seen how many come in a box sold only at COSTCO? I'm pretty sure we wouldn't run out before search and rescue found us. That's good news!) Then, when we're nice and full, we could (relatively) comfortably cash out for a long winter's snooze....in ditchland....pretending like it was Deutschland. See? It would have been okay.We made it. Then, we thanked the Lord for answering my earnest prayer for safety for sweet JOTSC with a "yes."
*Benefit numero uno of countless advantages to driving a bus. It's almost as large and cozy as home.*

I am glad you and the kids made it home safe. Sounds like it was a bit stressful for a bit
I'm glad you made it home safe. I was in a similar situation last year but with only one of my babes... and my friend was driving! Scary stuff!
But you are definitely right, you wouldn't have run out of diapers! We by those ones too and they seem to last forever!
Just because I'm sure you're not watching... there's another, bigger storm coming on Saturday. Plan to stay home! :)
I can't believe you were out in that. You should have called. Would have been a fun sleepover here at the Natarajan Nook.
