17 inches!!!

It was a doozy! 17 inches of snow! You know what that means. I am suffering major "snow guilt." Yep, that's what I call not wanting to take my kids out in the snow. Putting on and taking off snow clothing are Mommy chores that I despise.

I don't even know why. It's not like I have to do it that often. Maybe 2 or 3 times per year - - - max. Still, I hate it. So, I feel guilty when I try and distract my kids from going outside. Lucky for me I tricked them into putting on swimming floaties and goggles. That was interesting enough to keep their minds off of the snow for the whole day.
I had to leave the cave today though. We went outside and watched my #1 shovel the car out of this gargantuan, huge, snowy mess. He's a real champ. He even shoveled the curb by my parking space, so I could get in and out so easy. His Daddy taught him well how to treat a lady (that's me - - - I'm the lady).

But aside from the snow guilt, it was a premo day. Noah (and just about every other person in NYC) stayed home on Wednesday. We piddled around, downloading music (it's 90's or nothing for us - - - we live for the good ole' days), eating, eating, sewing, doing laundry, playing Super Nintendo, and chatting on the phone.

It was a good day.

Wow, 17 inches!! I wish we had about 6 of it. I know about the snow clothes; as soon as you get everybody's clothes on, somebody has to go to the bathroom. Take care.

Did you sew in the 90's..impressive.
You are a baby mamma. Seriously. The 90's? I was married in the 90's.

Glad you all survived the snowpocolypse.
