and then we had some snow...

I can't even begin to tell you how much I like being snowed in once a week over here in the Big Little. I do. I am immensely grateful for the snow, the quietude, the hush of the outdoors... the inside is a little less hushed and today we are awash in vomit and diarhhea so it is somewhat less romantic than normal... but I am still glad.  Glad that I am not required to be anywhere, glad that I am not chasing kids around in a car, glad that I am not losing another day of pay with Mother Nature's snowplow heaven... glad glad glad.
I'm going down to make a fire, I've given up on shoveling, everytime I go out, someone throws up. . . so it is a sign, as I see it today...I've got books, the sickos have videos and a pullout bed... hubsJ has the car that is better in the snow and a good sensibility for driving in this stuff... and he will be home when he can...
we are snowed in, and glad of it over here.

(don't ask me if i feel all glowy like this later on today, i haven't slept in the past day and a half and my answer may have changed somewhat... but not now.  GLAD. )

The very idea of being trapped inside *with* my kids makes me shudder. You're so brave.
