I'm all snowed out.

Can I just say that I am SO SICK of the snow??!! It has officially snowed 21 out of 29 days this month, according to Mr. Weatherman on the news. 21 out of 29 days!!!

It was supposed to snow for a 'few hours' this morning then turn into rain come early afternoon. HA! It started snowing full blast here at 8am and hasn't really let up all day long. It didn't turn into a rain/snow mix until about 5:30pm.... then everything went from snowy to pure slush.

Today we had a get-together at my grandma's house at 5pm for her birthday (which was a few days ago)... Russ called me at 2pm and goes, "There's no way you're going to that party... it's pure hell out here. If you say you're going, I'm coming home and taking the battery out of the navigator." LOL. (In case anyone doesn't remember, my hubby salts and plows parking lots for his business, so he was out all day in that snowy mess.) I was pretty bummed since I made a huge fruit bowl to take over there, plus I knew pretty much EVERYONE from my family was gonna be there and that they were wanting to see Alyson.

So I kept pacing around, thinking, "Should I go, or shouldn't I go... If I go, Russ will probably be ticked, but if I DON'T go, I'll feel bad.... " In the end, I reluctantly decided not to go, but still got ready anyway. So at 4:50pm Russ calls and says, "I'm on the highway... it's not too bad now. You could make it there if you want to go." (Yeah... the party starts in 10 minutes, honey!) So I hurried up and got Alyson all ready and cleared my car off.... luckily things weren't bad once I got to the highway. In town was another story. There's a major salt shortage around here, so everyone's using as little salt as they can.... things are a liiiiiiittle bit messy. Which sucks, because the end of my road goes downhill, so if you slide, you slide right out into traffic on the main road. Not good.

So I made it to my gram's in one piece... it was a good time. Good to see everyone. I stayed a few hours, then decided to head home around 7:30 before things got REALLY bad. Everyone was going, like, 45 mph on the highways.... I tried to get over and pass someone who kept hitting their brakes, but I started sliding on slush (and I even have frickin 4wd!) So I just sucked it up and went slow with everyone else. (Cause really, I had precious cargo in the back!!)

So like I said, I am SO VERY TIRED of snow. I can't dare tell that to my husband though... that's what brings in the money, and what lets me stay at home with my little one! I just can't wait til the warm weather comes around... I'm sick of being BORED. Now the weatherman is saying more snow tonight, possibly 2 inches. We already had at least 4 earlier... Is that not enough for one day?!

Enough complaining.... :-) now onto my favorite topic... Alyson. She's FINALLY getting teeth! I noticed it about a week ago. In these pictures you can see her little 'toofer' on the bottom right hand side if you look closely at the first few pics. :-)

I'm sick of snow too! However, we had a nice day today and it's supposed to be nice tomorrow. I'm sure we'll get hit with a huge snowstorm again sometime though.

I wish Maddy would get some teeth in! She's been teething forever and she still doesn't have any!

That first picture of Aly is so cute! What a big smile!

Aren't we all just dying for spring? I just keep thinking about green grass, a breeze, birds chirping, and trees budding. I cannot wait.

Alyson is so darn cute! Thanks for the pics!
