Cabin Fever

So Austin still hasn't had a full week of school since Christmas break. Last week was going to be his first, but we got hit with "the storm of the century" (or at least of the year) and he had Thursday and Friday off. And so did Brian and I as my work was closed and the court houses were closed. So we had high hopes for this week, but alas, he was off today and gets tomorrow off as well. Maybe Wednesday? The snow/freezing rain has subsided, but the side roads are still a mess. Aubrey's daycare follows Austin's school schedule, so her daycare is closed if his school is closed. I love snow days as much as the next guy, but we are getting cabin fever. We have been playing lots of games, watching WAY too much TV and fighting WAY WAY too much. It is time to get out of this house! And, I haven't been able to do much walking outside, so I have to do it in the house and I am wearing a path in the carpet getting in my steps for the walking challenge. One can only go around the house so many times before getting dizzy, or knocking down a toddler who thinks following you marching is fun, or tripping on some random toy laying on the floor. I am so ready for nice weather!

On the upside, (other than getting to spend more time with the kids), I did get my house cleaned thoroughly, which hasn't been done since, well, I don't really want to say but it was long overdue. But with the kids home days at a time, it won't take long before it is destroyed again!
