Stir Crazy!

School has been called off for three days in a row here in Northeast Ohio. We've had sub-zero temperatures (with the wind chill), lots of snow and icy rain.

The boys and I have not gone anywhere because I refuse to run the risk of picking up some nasty bug that lurks in every public place that claims to be for children.

I've seen about as much of the Lego Star Wars game that I would like. I've heard way too much bickering and whining, and wish the boys would be happy playing with the (massive amounts of) toys that they have all over the house. "No, you may not watch a movie, no, you may not play video games, no, I cannot play with you (while I work on school work), no, you cannot bully your brother"... "Yes! You may go outside!"

I finally decided they had to get out of the house. It's an ordeal to get them bundled but completely worth it! In fact, they are outside playing right now...bundled from head to toe (including ski masks). Maybe they'll expend some of their energy...

I told Chris earlier today that I have been dreaming of Cosi in Columbus or the Rainforest at the Cleveland Zoo.

I just looked outside and the boys are pulling a very large branch across the yard. Way to use up that stored energy!

OK, my friends. I'll conclude this post. Is anyone else feeling this way?

Stay Warm!

p.s. Even before I was able to post the boys were back inside asking for hot chocolate. Stinkers!
