Snow days

Ok I totally hate snow days. My kids are getting way too used to staying home. Between being sick last week and snow days this week we have been prisoners in our house for 11 days! I made the kids go to Target yesterday, I told them I would buy them toys just to get them out of the house. Luckily the sun is shining and it's almost Friday. Not that being Friday makes much of a difference to me. I am a stay at home mom so everyday is Friday right? Haha yeah right. At least my husband helps more on the weekends so it is a little bit of a break but instead of just me and the kids sitting around arguing and complaining about the snow, it is all four of us. Which is always a treat!

Our house has a different dynamic than most. My husband owns his own business and works from home. The four of us are together 24/7. Not much alone time in our house. If I want to be by myself I have to lock myself in the bathroom and that usually only lasts until the kids find me and start pounding on the door or they start beating each other up and I have to come out to save one of them. One of our boys is in school two half days and one "full" day a week and the other is in school one "full" day. A full day is 9:00-1:30 barely enough time for me to take a nap and shower!

So, when I say we have been prisoner in our house for 11 days I mean that all four of us have been snuggly tucked in our house singing songs and being one big happy family. Ok, that is a total lie! It has not been all hugs and kisses it's boring and we are all so ready to get out of here. But I guess what doesn't kill you makes you stronger as a family and every minute we spend together is wonderful and I love it. Oh, I forgot I was talking about how much I hate snow days! Yeah I hate them!
