You Win

You win winter, you win.

I wrote a nice post yesterday stating boldly that I was NOT letting you get under my skin.

Well you showed me. You slapped me right in the face and told me to eff off you were winning this fight.

Michael called me yesterday and said that there was a lot of ice on our roof and there was a small drip starting from the ceiling in the living room






My Dad came over with the extension ladder and Michael got up on the roof to knock off the big chunks of ice. He almost fell twice so he gave up because him falling off the roof and snapping his neck is not an option.

By the time I got home it looked like this



And this is how I feel about it utterly pissed off and over the effing white shit that is everywhere.




Also the whole 30 degrees one day and -12 the next day is really screwing shit up like the ice that is now stuck to my roof and is melting. Michael said that it is due to the cap cod peaks of the roof, and to be honest I have no idea because I zone out when he talks about anything like that.

Michael is checking to see if this is covered on our homeowners insurance. And I told him this morning that we are repainting the room. When we moved in 5 years ago we painted over the robins egg blue with a nice dark brown. Well now the room is too dark so I want to go with a light gray color. It's happening one way or the other because I will get something good out of this shit show.

In other news Grayson is a terror. He. will. not. sleep. through. the . night!  It's killing me. I'm a zombie today at work and I would have so called in but it's my one day a week that I have to be here so blah. I have not had a Pepsi in months but I may be chugging one just to keep my eye lids open. The top teeth are starting to break through finally and I'm hoping that they are in soon so we can all resume our normally scheduled sleep. He of course slept through the night 2 nights in a row when it was Michael's turn to get up with him. I swear they plan it that way. I'm out numbered by balls in my house. Here's hopping that when #2 comes it's a girl so I can have a friend again.

Four Things right now

Four things about all of us right now... Grayson One- This boy has finally found his groove in 1st grade. Kinder to 1st was a big adjustment but he's doing well now. And he is a spelling champ! He does sooooo good on his spelling tests! Two- Hockey is life for this kid. He skates twice a week (once doing a hockey specific clinic and once doing family skate see below) His skills are really growing Three- He loves reading and so we are riding that wave all the way. Four- He has to wear his glasses full time now. What started out as hey wear these when you watch TV that is farther away or when you sit farther from the board has turned into needing them full time. Our school has a local organization that comes in and does eye assessments for free for the elementary schools and they sent home a letter saying get him to the eye doctor he needs glasses (well that was the jist of it) and we since we already had glasses from his eye doctor he just started with tho...

A nice little sweet spot

The sweet spot…. We seem to have hit one. I feel like we have not been in a sweet spot since the twins were about 6 months old. You know before they were mobile and can get into a ton of mischief. When kids are 0-6 months they still like to be held they eat mostly bottles and they mostly just stay in one spot. No issues, you can go places and even though you have to pack up your whole house to be prepared you can relax. And if you are in my family someone is always willing to hold or feed or change a baby. 7-months to 2.5 years old is what I refer to as the lost years. You have so many things you have to do for them they are not potty trained and they are mobile and get into EVERYTHING. Going outside is more work than its worth and with twins they scatter in opposite directions. Three on one is so hard handle in big open spaces. I would often find myself skipping outside time because the work was just too much for me. When the twins turned 3 and Grayson was 6 it felt like we had a ...

Conferences, Grocery Pick up and trying to get out the door

I had grand plans to document our day on Friday. I was going for an every hour sort of thing and then after the 3rd hour lost track I will shoot for next Friday though we will see I'm off on Friday's ( all the happy faces for a 4 day work week and the $$$ saved on daycare ) It was our February break from school so Grayson is home too. I get up at 6:15 on Fridays which is sleeping for me because during the week I'm up at 5 and I head downstairs to do a workout. I'm in a funk right now with that stuff but I still move my body. Today I did a 10 min arm video and 10 min lower body video. I stretch for a few mins and I'm done just in time for Grayson to come wandering down the stairs. I chug some water. Check in with Michael and head upstairs to get Marshall and Charlotte from their beds. They both woke up dry (we are in the throws of potty training and are still in pull ups at night for now) They charge downstairs yelling that they have to pee and demanding...
