Cabin Fever

I am getting a huge dose of cabin fever this week. We were buried under 2 feet of snow last weekend (I'm not kidding, we got 24" of snow in a day and a half!) and all I want to do now is shed these winter blues. I am dreaming of open windows, fresh spring air, warm breezes, green grass, working in my yard, golfing, sitting on my porch listening to the neighbor kids play, etc,. etc. Hurry up spring..................

Fun With the Kids

What's a good way to beat the winter boredom? I know - stay overnight at your mothers house with your nephews and niece! That is exactly what I did last night. Keep in mind my mother is in Florida, and I am "watching" her house and her cat while she is away. I think having the kids for an overnight visit at her house was an excellent idea.

We had fun eating junk food and watching movies in the dark. It was a big slumber party! My favorite movie of the night was Underdog. (Give me a break, the movie choices were slim) Cute dog, sweet story. We watched one of The Simpson's movies this morning, while we ate pop-tarts and played with the cat. Then we played Black-Jack and the dumb card game that the kids call "match". They kicked my butt at both games. Did I say my oldest nephew is 12? Yeah, they beat me at games....

Do you think my mother will mind that her house is trashed when she gets home?
