Ugh!!! I am so ready to get out of the house, and so are the kids. They have been griping and fighting almost constantly. They're tired of puzzles and books, and I finally gave in to my son today to play video games, although he's been on probation from them for discipline issues. I know, bad mommy. It was the only way I could get any kind of writing done though.
I went outside today and took more pics. The ice is stunning, even more so when the sun shines through it. I also went down and took pictures of our tree in the road. By coincidence, a plow was going through and I asked the county guys about moving the tree. They said they planned on it anyway, after they got the road clear. Yay!!! Since the John Deere won't start, and I don't know if it would be able to pull it anyway, that makes my life easier.
Kids are quiet right now, so I'm going to see if I can get more writing done. Night all.

Jennifer, I feel for ya. Being cooped up against your will is rough, though I never had the kids-fighting issue to deal with. (I only have one kid.) Sometimes had to wade into the middle of kid-dog disputes... Okay, not really. So you, my dear, have a much more intense snow days experience than I ever did. I don't blame you on the video game reprieve. A friend told me once when I punished my son by taking computer privileges away from him, that I was punishing myself as much or more than him. Boy was she right. Oh--should I mention he's now in college, studying Computer Technology?
