I don't mind the snow but I mind feeling trapped and I mind no sun.
The kids had six snow days in eight days. At least three of those were because the roads were so bad even though there hadn't been snow in a few days. Plows broke down and there wasn't enough to get to the neighborhoods. Snow on the ground since December 5th. Record for Boise. And still counting.
On January 3rd I flew to Phoenix. First day back to school for the kids. Jake stayed home sick. The following day reports from my friends of the all the snow in Nampa was insane. Worse weather in 30 years. Or was it since 1995. Or one report said 1896. What ever it doesn't matter. I was sitting in the sun. Surgery went well. Stayed for three days. Every day was a hospital or doctor visit. Became an expert driver on Phoenix freeways. Didn't crash the brand new car. My friend didn't end up in the hospital although she got pretty close. Emotionally draining trip. Landed in Boise in the middle of a snow storm on January 7th. Church cancelled on the 8th. School canceled for three more days. Kept feeling trapped and unappreciated. Tuesday the 10th we went to Jump Time which I regretted. Got stuck going and coming. Kids had fun there though and were finally able to get some real energy out. Wednesday Lee cancelled scouts. Plows came through right when he got home. I happy cried. We can finally leave with out fear of getting stuck. Lee and Jake and SIL shoveled some drive ways. Jake got $20. Kids back to school Thursday and Friday.
We played some board games. Watched TV. Glad it is over although I wanted more time with my kids. Three long days. Played in the snow. They are predicting and even worse storm to come through. If we could just have some sun that would be great.
Looking forward to our mini vacation next weekend. Maybe we will make it a tradition to ski on Jake's birthday every year.
