1.5.14
The blizzard of 2014.
A foot of snow in less than 24 hours, followed by record low temps and the city completely shut down for 3 days! The kids were out of school for an entire week, and a week later, we're just now truly getting all the snow off the roads.
My Starbucks was closed for 4 days, and I went through serious withdrawals. Not even kidding, and yes, I realize that's kinda sad.
Temps here dropped to -30's...something I don't ever remember happening in Indiana!
It made for beautiful pictures and we had a blast playing in it, but I am sooo ready to start planting spring flowers and a vegetable garden, and to feel the warm sun on my skin, and to be playing with baby chicks in the yard with my boys...
And not to be negative Nancy or anything (I totally am)
but I'm about to lose my ever loving mind in this rental house...
I've noticed my patience is running at an all time low these days and I'm frustrated at things that would typically not bother me in the least.
We are on top of each other, and what little space we do have is crammed with boxes, and the clutter is driving me crazy.
I'm tired and have had the worst headache of my life for 2 days, the sink is full of dishes, the laundry room is piled high with dirty clothes, and my to do list is endless and growing these days.
And the sun is gone by 4:30.
You literally can't even walk into the boys rooms because every toy they own has been pulled out of every box they could find. I really need to work with getting them to pick up after themselves!
Add it to the list...
Lately, getting Mason dressed for the 3rd time in a 30 minute period (because he's not a morning person!) has been enough to push me over the edge.
But soon. SOON. SOON. we will be outta here...
I'm just going to try my very best to be kind and grateful and thankful.
And take a breath (or three) and be patient with my family.
We're healthy, we have heat, and we have full bellies.
And the boys playing and laughing together quietly behind me is always a good reminder of that.
And they won't always be little, and our days won't always be crazy and stressful, and one day I will truly miss all of this.
And I'm just going to try and repeat this over and over until I get out of the funk I'm in.
So here's my babies in the snow :)

And Vince got to wear Jaidie's old pink snow suit because he's too little to throw a fit about it :)
