Blah de blah blah blah

Boy am I feeling- yes you guessed it blah! Not down or sad, thank heavens, just bored out of my mind, days are grey, can't hardly stand it, blah! My kids are ornery, I'm more ornery and I just think that I might go crazy if it snows one more time, which it will cause the universe certainly has something against me. There are still heaps of snow in some places 12 ft high, and no I'm seriously not exaggerating. Most of the already narrow roads have so much snow on them that they are down to one lane and it's not fun.

The good news is that the other day I actually heard birds singing outside my kitchen window and it made my WHOLE day. I heard them again yesterday as I was lying in bed trying to get up and it just made me want to lie there all day and listen, just trying to convince my body that Spring will in fact come and not in 6 months, just a mere 6-8 weeks. I'm thinking this winter is going by as slowly as a throw up everyday kind of pregnancy.

I guess another good thing about January is that I lost 10 lbs. Count them 10! Then this weekend not only did I fall of the wagon, but fell off and was very rudely and abruptly run over by said wagon. Thankfully today, I have crept back on that ugly, ugly wagon.

Oh how I have coveted all people that are in possession of a garage, or a playroom, or an attic. We have certainly made use of our basement where the kids can ride their scooters around and be noisy. Not that they aren't noisy in the house. I think the noise and chaos in this house have reached a new level this winter. The only thing that brings me peace is knowing I am not alone. There are others out there that also want to pull their hair out strand by strand.

Punxsutawny Phil better be right in predicting an early Spring or things are gonna get ugly!
