Last week I posted pictures of the girls playing outside. The sun was shining, green grass was poking through the dead brownness of winter. Spring looked like it might actually show up on time and give us a break from the confines of our house.
Fast forward one week and here we are. . .back in winter mode. It's snowed here all day, the wind is blowing and any signs of green grass are once again buried under SNOW. UGH. So. Sick. Of. SNOW
As much as we truly enjoy living in the country, the wide open space and the secure safe feeling of our home here, WE GET BORED. Even though all 4 of us are only home all day, on the weekends, we have ran out of indoor activities. Jayda begs to "go somewhere," pretty much all day. I generally give in and we run to Lemmon or Faith for a few groceries, or Chinese, or pizza. Our life basically revolves around food.
And sadly, after two days of weekend, I'm actually not that disappointed to go back to work on Monday. Neither is Jayda. By Saturday afternoon she is asking me how far away Monday is. Sad. We need SPRING. We need SUMMER. NOW.
Being couped up also begins to make me feel slightly bipolar. Multiple personalities seem to emerge. I'll be chewing one kid out for being mean to the other, turn around and use my nice voice to talk to the other kid. Then I listen to myself and start feeling like the worst mother ever.
This whole, "trying to stay home more" idea, isn't working out so swell. It's bad for our mental health.
