Ice Storm...Day 3!

Wow...
A little bit of family sometimes goes a long way................
We got 5" of rain over the weekend...along with some cold weather. So we really did not venture out all weekend. And by Sunday night, we found out an ice storm was heading for Austin. Unusual for our neck of the woods...but it happens every couple of years. By the time we woke up Monday morning...it was below freezing temps and although I could have gotten to work, I knew it would be hard coming home! More precip was falling and turning to sleet. So Monday at home with husband and 5 year old son was a fun "Snow Day"! We went out that morning to garner supplies...of course I forgot the most important items...cookies and anything chocolate! Bitch!
Tuesday was day 2 and we were getting a bit of cabin fever...but about noon time it started to snow! Beautiful, large, fluffly flakes and it was so lovely and quiet! My son was in awe! We hoped to be able to go back to our routine Wednesday...okay I hoped really really badly...but nope...more sleet, rain , and more ice...more ice...more ice! Almost busted my ass outside the garage door. Definitely not a pretty site! By this time, we are not quite in the "Snow day" kind of mood! The chocolate ran out Tuesday afternoon and with no reinforcements, I was not mommy of the year! "No dessert momma?"
But we have made it through Wednesday...my husband nearly pushed me over on his way to school tonight. He was in desperate need of some alone time and "other people" time.
Me too...I love my family...but 5 days inside with them was enough for me. Momma needs some Mommy time!
