Will I survive the snow days??!!


Will I survive the snow days?
I love my children, don't get me wrong. These little bundles of joy that I have cared for since before birth have brought me immense joy...and other mental issues. I'm not sure when it happened but my cute little bouncing boys have become insane tornados leaving chaos and destruction in their wake. i am becoming a casuality. I'm waiting on someone to declare a state of emergency in my home. The snow is a foot deep...Harley is almost 3 feet tall. Makes walking an issue. It was fun at first. The snowmen, the snowball fights, running and jumping in the white fluffiness. I had to make them come inside for fear of frostbite. Today, 5 days later, the snow is still here but it's not the fun, fluffy stuff anymore and my kids have figured it out. Running and jumping in the snow has morphed into running and jumping on my furniture. Here is the conversation we had this morning.
me: Hey guys wanna go outside?
them: (in unison) NO! it's too cold
me: come on.. its not that cold
them: there are icecycles mom
me: please go outside
them: no
me: please
them: no
me: it's gonna melt soon
them: good. we'll go outside when it melts.

So now i'm sitting here watching them run around like crazy people and i have no control. but at least they are happy.
Will I survive these snow days? Maybe not.

Coupons

ok. so. this coupon thing didn't work out so well.
it started out ok. I followed some links that some friends recommended. I have heard many good things from many different people and so I decided to try it. I found some good deals on alot of stuff. However one website said that I had to download a certain program for coupon printing so I decided better of it and started over. After a couple of different places said the same thing I assumed this was something that I had to do. So I did. I printed out a few coupons. I just wanted to check a see if the store would actually honor these so I didn't want to do to many.
i haven't been able to use my computer since.
i have a virus
i also have a program that's not supposed to let that happen
but anyway, back to the coupons
I haven't even tried them honestly. I just don't think that even if it does work i would care
75 cents off Downy or $100 dollars to repair my computer. hmm. let's think about it.

I can do this

Ok so today is day 1 of the, for lack of a better term, the 'new' me. I can do this. I repeat this over and over to myself. I can do this. See I told you. IT doesnt stop. Even when I want to forget about IT it's there. Taunting me. Laughing at me. IT scares me, IT actually causes me to tremble. By tremble I dont mean like "cold chill" tremble, I mean full out convulsions. Makes people stare kinda stuff. What is IT?, you ask. It is Maturity. Coming at me full force. I didnt think it would happen like this. But I can say that I have avoided it so long it's gonna take something drastic...so I've done this to myself. It still sucks. I'm really trying to figure this all out. When I quit a nice paying job with a position close to the top and a very good salary to be a stay at home mom my initial reaction was WOOHOO VACATION! That attitude has stuck with me. I don't have a job, I can do anything I want. But life is not a vacation. Reality has sunk in and I want to run screaming.
I can do this.

Getting the hang of it

So i have decided that instead of sitting here talking to myself I should try out this blogging thing. I've heard alot about it so I'm kinda curious to see how it goes. I am completely random and I can pretty much bet that there will be some things on here that make you wonder. If you do just understand that I am having "one of those days". Some days I need to talk to someone other than a 14 month old so maybe this will help that craving.
