Yesterday, I was hanging clothes on the line to dry. Today, it's all crazy blizzardy (yes, that's totally a word. Haven't you heard it? No? Maybe you should get out more.)
The wee ones are making peanut-butter play doh sculptures behind me as I type this, then bringing each and every (uh-mazing) new tree, dog, star, cake, pizza.....over to show me. Because it simply didn't exist if mom didn't see it, and respond with a, "wow, that's absolutely, positively, thrilling! I've never, not ever, seen anything quite like it! Bravo, bravo!"
Sometimes the snow gets me down. I am tempted to pull my hairs out, one by one, and shout up to heaven "AGAIN?! We're stuck inside? Again?! How much more of this treacherous captivity can one woman take!?" Then I begin to daydream. I scratch my head and ponder the notion that if I cry just a little bit when I go into the office, but not too much where he thinks I fell off my rocker entirely, there is a slight possibility my Dr. will prescribe medication for the serious medical condition cabin fever. But not today.
This morning I logged onto facebook and found an update from a friend that said she misses snow days with her kids. Humph, I thought to myself. She does? Whenever I see her she looks sane enough to me. Could there be something to this? One day, will I miss them too? I quickly came to the conclusion that yes, why yes by golly, I think I will.
I do believe these are some truly precious moments I've got here, with my sensational seven, right before my eyes. Perhaps I should choose to savor. Not take them for granted. They, too soon, will pass. Thank you Suzan. I've never liked going to the Dr. anyway.....
On repeat today:
Happy crazy bilzzardy Friday.

So I was reading your blog and Darius was laying next to me on the bed when he saw your family picture at the top of your blog. He looked at it for a few seconds and then said "mommy those are my friends, I love Stryder. Are my friends coming to play with me?" I had to tell him no....but we need to get together for a play date soon, you see my son wants to play with his friends especially the ones he loves :)
Hope you have a great snow day. We have had the paint out and some dancing has occurred. Watch out world the Livingstons are partying now :)
