Trapped in Snowapoluza 2011


Well let me just start off by saying this has officially sucked! And that is putting it nicely... While everyone was getting groceries and essentials to prepare for the storm Monday, I was frantically trying to find a doctor that could fit me into their schedule.. Finally at 3:45 Monday afternoon, just hours before the storm of the century hit , my suspensions were confirmed... FLU!!! I had the flu... Much to my shock I safely drove myself to the dr and russeled up enough energy to get my 3 flu medications and a gallon of milk.. That's it.. that's all we got! I couldnt even see straight let alone fight the mob of thousands of snow storm preparers at the grocery store.. So now here we are, 3 days later and still alive! I have healed quickly from the dreaded flu (thank god) and managed to take care of my family without infecting them... But as far as boredom is concerned I am on my last leg... Not only did I not get to the store to get blizzard 2011 essentials such as smores, pizzas, beer, apple cider and any other junk food you can think of.. Even worse I have been filling up on things in the cabinet and fridge I dont even like! Just out of pure boredom.. If your gonna stuff your face at least do it on things you enjoy! Trust me, its not worth it when the snow melts! My Weight Watchers has gone out the window to say the least.. The 3 pounds I worked so hard for last week have without a doubt come back with a vengeance and probably brought a few friends with them.... Wonderful!!! At least Clint was snowed in with me. So hopefully he got fat too :)... I have caught up on a few of my trash shows, but not many.. I have watched Toy Story and Cars a hundred times.. Poor Brody has rode his tricycle up and down this house totaling miles I'm sure.. We colored.. I in the coloring books, Brody on the kitchen table and possibly the rugs.. We worked on flash cards.. Brody has got them all figured out.. Finally worked out the issue with the dog and lion cards, those seemed to get the lil guy every time! :).. and rightly so, the lion resembles our dog Tigger and the dog, well Brody has never seen a bull dog so to him its all the same.. potata-tomata....Little Piper has jumped so much in her jumparoo she is developing some amazing calf muscles!! Its funny because she cant jump unless she flails her arms like crazy.. Funny girl!... And I have accomplished nothing(except ridding myself of the flu) and I look really rough! I wont lie, its scary... So my husband returned to work today and left us here to fend for ourselves.. I would love to leave the house! But the 4 foot snow drift on both sides of my SUV say otherwise... So here we will sit.. Dreaming of Spring flowers and warm days.. Ahhh, please be right mister ground hog! Although his 37% odds are not great, I'm going to believe in him! Spring will be here soon!! yay.. OK I'm done rambling... Hope everyone stays safe/warm and had fun experiencing the Snowpocalyse of 2011!!!  ~Luv~
