My kids had all week off from school and mom went crazy!

Yes, My kids had all last week off from school because of the wonderful snowstorm and I went crazy! Yes, I am the one who wanted my kids at home at all times, hated the fact that I had to send them out to school everyday and thought of homeschooling at some point or another. But it is me who went crazy with having them home all last week with no place to go!

Well I am sure one reason why I went crazy is that we were stuck in the house with no where to go, in nice weather we go out more, ya know, to break up the day. Even to play in this snow is too much of a hassle, way to deep and too cold. Even to take them to the movies or such would have been a pain, you couldn't even park in most lots because all the snow was dumped there and parking is horrible everywhere. Even the Pgh Zoo was closed all last week and this week too.

My husband always pointed out as I was "whining" and you wanted to home school! LOL Yes I did...and my reply to that is it would have been different, more structure(but I do lack that too). See I had no routine last week, our normal routine was broken, not just one day but 5 in a row. And we even lost power one of those days for about 10 hours...yeah...that was a fun filled day.

This week my kids are back in school(2 hour delays but Love those) and our routine is back to normal and now I wish my kids were at home again because I do miss them. Now getting my mind set for Spring!

I have some Extra time!

Yes..I am finding some time to blog....and the reason...Snowed in! We got hit with a snowstorm Friday into Sat. The local weather was calling for 4-8 inches....which is kind of alot for us....we usually get 2-4 4-6 if lucky..but that could be every other day....well this storm ended up dumping 24 inches....(weather people failed). Brittney was supposed to have her B-day party at Chuckie Cheese on Fri night and had to cancel that. Friday night our power kept flickering and my husband had to shovel at 9 at night because we already had 5 inches and no signs of stopping.

My husband woke up at 3:30 to go to work..he called to tell me trees were down and so were alot of wires. Around 7am our power went off. the power also went off at the Grocery Store me and hubby works at so they had to close(don't even know why they opened). Around 2:00 and about 50 degrees in our house we decided to go to in-laws. Then finally our power came on about 5:00pm. Our cable was still out along with telephone and Internet. Also we were under a water conservation.

So today there are alot of homes still without power..ours actually went out twice again...maybe for about 10 minutes each time. Schools are closed already for Monday and the best thing(well bittersweet) I got the weekend off from work but I lost 16 hours of pay!

I have pics but they are on my phone...a little boy in this house broke my camera...if I can figure out how to post them I will!

Have a blessed week and anybody in the snow zone be careful and stay warm!
