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.

Friday Favorites

Love that it's Friday Love that its Friday and we have a beautiful weekend ahead of us! Linking up with Andrea today! One These PJ's. When we first got married (and even before I was married really) I used to wear cute PJ's to bed and then I started to wear not so cute PJ's to bed so I ordered some new ones and OMG girls get these now. So so soft so so comfy and under $20.00! Plus they have pockets!   Two While your shopping at Kohls throw some of these picture frames in your cart! Just for fun! I love that they are easy to change out and have a distressed look! Plus they can sit on a shelf or be hung on the wall. Love! Three We have been swimming like crazy and that equals all the things that go with swimming like a million towels and swim suits. My bathroom was a mess. I usually never wash my swim suits I just rinse them out and hang dry they last a lot longer doing it that way and so I had things hanging every where! So I ord

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

Home Schooling

Ah home schooling something that all of the country was thrown into. March 13 th was the last day that Grayson went to school and Charlotte and Marshalls last day was March 12 th . We got the call on March 15 th that school was closed for 2 weeks and that a pick up for at home materials would be on Tuesday. It was not required just suggested and so we loosely did school work. A worksheet here, spelling words here, some math problems ya know simple things. We truly believed that 2 weeks and they would be back in the classroom that is what the district presented as happening and so the distance learning was just to occupy time not to really learn anything new. Everything we were given was review.  Then we got the notification March 30 th we were closed again for another 2 weeks. Again, we were being loose with the learning because I was now working from home all but one day a week and had all three kids home and lets be honest it was a lot. Michael was still working 4-5 days a wee
