Snow days...

I know, I know, it' been a while. However, you should cut me some slack. I've been super busy floating around like a giant Macy's Thanksgiving Day balloon and between Thanksgiving, Christmas with Nana and Papa and having swollen ankles, aching feet and an all around bad attitude about the size of my butt, I just haven't had time to blog - or anything to really tell you guys about. However, I didn't want you to think I'd forgotten about you so here I am for your enjoyment. Yes, I know I'm a giver...
Today we're having a snow day. No, I didn't declare a snow day - Satan's Pants called off school. I have to admit I'm a bit baffled by the entire thing. The past few years that we've had to watch out for school closings we've never had a "snow" day. We've been off plenty of times because it was too cold for the kids to have to stand at the bus stop (I think it has to be 30 below with the wind chill for them to call of school), but we've never had a snow day because we're getting too much snow. I'm sure the kids don't mind but I was actually hoping to get some things done and having both of them home fighting over who gets to be Luke Skywalker on the Wii is REALLY annoying... If I felt better I would have some arts and crafts around or something but I don't. The little one would paint and do all that - the older one would just assume NOT do anything that involved the word ART. Since I feel miserable on top of being 33 weeks pregnant I'm not real sure what I'll get accomplished. So, here's to a day of Lego Star Wars, yelling and beating each other with light sabers - Cheers...
I'll try and blog more in the coming weeks. After that I can't make any promises. Baby caboose is getting big, moving around and being active. The only problem so far is that he's upside down (or sideways really). Next time I go to the dr. if he hasn't "engaged" then we'll have to do an ultrasound to see where he is and then they'll try and move him. Whatever - let's just get the show on the road! My blood pressure is unusually good (it tends to sky rocket about this time in my pregnancies but hasn't - even with all my financial market concerns that I really know nothing about and everything else) which is good and bad. Good because it can't be good for caboose for my blood pressure to go up, bad because I can't guarantee being induced and that really freaks me out.
Well, the yelling has started. Must go referee... TTFN!
