Over the snow

Driving home last night was like being in star wars. I was getting dizzy from trying to find a spot to focus and I wasn't even the one driving. Plus I only had one beer so I know it was for sure the snow.

I'm over the weather. The snow ugh it's killing me. I got stuck in the driveway on Friday morning and I felt like a moron.

I have a 4x4 car and it should never get stuck and well it did. I started to cry and have a panic attack at the end of my driveway I was inches from freedom.

I was early that day and was not running late, the boy and I were in the car and had just called to talk to Michael and then I hit the patch of ice that is at the end of our driveway and into the snowbank I went.

Michael answered the phone to me crying and freaking out and then I called my mom to have my dad come over because I'm still a child and I neeeeeeded my daddy.

Side note: This is what sucks about Michael's job he is gone long before we leave and he is never local. He was an hour away delivering when I got stuck.

So my dad shows up and he is a better driver than me because he kicked that bad boy into 4 wheel drive and had me out within seconds of showing up. I felt dumb but sucked it up and headed to work. I was only an hour late so it wasn't too bad.

I'm still super over winter. It's snowing and about 9 degrees here today.

This is my plea to spring to just show up because we are soo ready for you!

I'm trying to focus on the positive and have thrown myself into the lovely time that is called party planning. I'm surprising myself with how organized I am.

Happy Monday everyone!

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...
