Where I've been stuck at home for a record four days. I got so punch-drunk crazy today that I fought with everyone, shoveled my driveway, cleaned off my cars, cleaned my house like a banshee and then walked up to - and back from - the grocery store for milk, pot roast and bananas.
It's just 2.2 miles away.
I walked through snow up to my knees and only slipped once - you'd think that, as often as I practice break fall in class, I wouldn't try to break my fall with my outstretched palm.
You'd be wrong. also: Ow. Ow. Ow.
Then we built snow men, snow tunnels and igloos in the backyard.
I'm tired.
(This is me in the igloo. Which you get into by crawling through the tunnel.)
You should have had your kid walk the 2.2 miles, so when he grows up he could honestly say, "When I was a kid, I had to walk to 2.2 miles to the grocery store in the snow, and it felt like uphill both ways!"

Be careful if you slip again! About four or five years ago my mom slipped on some ice in front of our house and broke her fall with her hand, which broke her wrist. It was not fun.

You're having way more fun than I am.

That's a lot of snow for your area! That's how my life is from December until April. Right now we have probably 3 feet of snow and more comes every 4-5 days! It's brutal but you get used to it. I go stir crazy as well and run for miles and miles outside. It clears my head!

That is a great way to get OUT OF THE HOUSE. I did the same thing last winter!! I refused to be stuck in the house another minute, so I walked all the way to the grocery LOL.

I am so jealous. We got a measly dusting down here in the south despite the fact that it snowed for about 10 hours. When we lived in VB it only snowed once and then just about 3 inches. Oh how I miss the snow. Enjoy it!

However,,,, you really do appear to be HAPPY!

Great photo! You'd never guess you felt fed up, and your kids will remember how you played in the snow with them.
