After being in Missouri for five years I have learned a thing or two about how to survive snowbound, gray days...I've learned that a.) its helpful to get at least a little exercise consistently, b.) take your vitamins (especially D since the sun isn't out very long and you probably don't want to stand in the 14 degree wind to get a few rays), c.) open the blinds/curtains even when there is a little sun, d.) you have to just get out in the snow and drive like an old lady to get where you're going because if you don't you will get cabin fever and that ain't pretty and driving like an old lady is preferable to cabin fever, e.) you have to layer, layer, layer and sometimes it may require you to even wear pantyhose as an added layer (but beware when you go in a store you will start to sweat.) These are a few things this Alabama girl has gleaned since living in what I sometimes lovingly call "the artic tundra." Here are a few pictures of some other things we've been doing to survive...
Hey....who needs snow to drive like an old lady. I am old, ahem...wise before my years. So glad to see you and AJ doing well and glad that y'all don't have cabin fever. That stuff is yucky. We had it one week and just to get rid of it, I took all the kids to Hobby Lobby. Cured it right up. Can't believe that she is potty training so well, keep up the good work, baby girl! Pulled a "momma" today and burnt up my lunch. Good thing it was only 64 and very breezy outside. That tortilla is still stinking up the house >:P least is wasn't beans, double smelly. Do you still have power?
ReplyDeleteCan't believe you took all the kids to Hobby Lobby, I think that might give me a tick, but of course I think you're tougher than me! This week she's decided she's too busy to take the time to use the potty and doesn't make it in time. So its two steps forward one step backward! I bought some new fabric with b-day money. Its by Kathy York and is called Urban Landscapes...very colorful and vibrant!
