Cabin Fever in Jacksonville

Not that I don't thoroughly enjoy have a snow day here and there, but 4 in a row, REALLY? Yes, really! I've heard more nerf bullets soar by than ever and I have now used my last soup idea that I have all ingredients for. I am bored, and ready to get outside. We have played cards, played wii, and watched all dvr'd shows worth watching. They have played air soft war outisde, and nerf war inside. They've sat on the couch and slipped on the ice. Robb has taken apart the broken PS3, because he is sure things would be much more fun around here if it was working. I've completed some required documenting and frankly just don't want to do anymore.....it's boring! We've laid in front of the fire and cuddled up on the couch. We've eaten all the leftovers and ventured out for more milk. I made oatmeal cookies with missing ingredients, we drizzled caramel on top to make them taste better. We've slept in late and taken naps in the middle of the afternoon. We've giggled till our belly's hurt and we've had a few crying fits here and there. We've dried wet clothes, strategically placed wet shoes in front of the fire place, and have wet jackets hanging on every chair in the house. We can't find the Netflix DVD for the wii and there isn't much interesting on TV. I could read a book, or catch up on bible study, I could write a friend a note or my husband a love letter. I could play a little more with my kiddos and share a few more stories.......
When I sat down to "blog" all these complaints were twirling in my head.....Now twirling in my head is how thankful I am for these days, these moments and these memories!
