It started a week ago but I was too busy to let you know how we were faring the storm. Oh yes - we're living in a winter wonderland.A winter land where nothing is open and the roads aren't cleared and you're left to wonder, "What will I do with these children all day?" For seven days in a row.
A winter land where hot cocoa is drunk like water and peanut brittle is for lunch and you're left to wonder, "Can I get away with English Toffee and short bread for dinner...again?"
A winter land where Daddies home from work sled and slide down the street with their little bugs and you're left to wonder, "Am I a bad mom for not wanting to go out there with them? Or a good mom because every time they come back in I re-clean the mudroom and re-dry all their wet things in the dryer?"
A winter land where your septic system brakes just when the roads are all closed and you're left to wonder, "How long can one go without flushing the toilet, or using the shower?" and "Exactly how long do I have before that tank in the backyard gets full?"
Yup...wonder me that 'cause it's been since last Saturday...and we're looking at a Friday repair.
*P.S. Well, actually a friend got me over to her house today with the lure of free movie tickets and then she wouldn't let me leave until I'd showered. So I'm good for at least another week and now I get to go to the movies. Yipee!
