Why we’ve only left the house once in three days

December 21st, 2008

An ice storm arrived Thursday night, keeping me home from work on Friday. I felt bad leaving a few others to do so much work that day, but I knew it was the right decision when my SIL told me her drive to work took 50 minutes – when it usually takes about 20 I’m guessing. Mine takes 35 on a good day. Wednesday I had to drive a little slow and it took 50. It would have taken hours on Friday! Not to mention the risk of something worse, like wrecking.

Anyway. We never left the house once on Friday. By Saturday I was a little stir crazy and I had already done heaps of laundry, rearranged the living room and I even cleaned a bathroom. So, I ventured out, by myself, to run a few errands. I wasn’t quite sure how the roads were still, but they ended up being fine.

Now it’s Sunday and I can already hear Steve saying “It’s Sunday! Football!” So I don’t think he’s going to want to get out. Tomorrow we’ll go to storytime and out to lunch if it’s decent … but today, hmmm. We’ll have to think of something.

Miraculously, it’s after 8 a.m. and Ella is still sleeping. Guess indoor play can be pretty exhausting too.

Well, sorry if that was the most boring post you’ve ever read. Did I mention we’ve only left the house once in the past few days?

Exhibit A.

Exhibit B.

Are you cold yet?

    We’re stuck at home due to ice and snow, too. Ugh!

    That amount of snow is amazing. I can’t believe it’s snowing on all my friends while its 70 degrees here. Jealous? Got the card with Ella. She’s adorable. Have a great Christmas!
