Riley and Avery

Blizzard! Blizzard! Blizzard! We have so much snow it is absolutely ridiculous. And it's still snowing. To think that it was in the mid to upper 60s yesterday. We have about a foot of snow and the snow drifts are at least two feet deep on our front walk. Needless to say, Riley did not have school today. The malls are closed, the banks are closed, and I'm wondering if we'll even get mail today. The huge interstate that runs through the Springs is closed so we can't leave the city (like we'd want to). For you East Coasters, that's the equivalent of I-95 being closed. Crazy stuff. We'll be inside for a long time. My camera is in the car. When I can manage to get to my car I'll take pictures, then probably have to wait days in order to get to Walmart to develop the film. I wonder if Riley will have school tomorrow. They are having their Halloween party tomorrow and I signed up to bring baked goods. Worst case scenario is if she does have school tomorrow and I'm not able to get to the store tonight to buy the ingredients for baking. This is the most snow I've seen in my adult life and it's only October.

So I happen to have a raging breast infection. Yah! I've had them before and have just waited them out, but this one took hold of my whole body. My muscles ached and I felt weak, so I'd sit down, but when I stood back up I'd get dizzy and light-headed. I was nauseous and had a dull headache. And not to mention the pain from the infection itself. It all started with Avery apparently sleeping through the night on Monday night, failing to nurse. So I have mastitis and swollen lymph nodes and am on antibiotics. But I'm feeling better today. I don't normally take medications, so I tend to respond to antibiotics really fast.

Okay, I just found the absolute cutest wool diaper covers that I have ever seen, made by a WAHM, with endearing embroidery on the butt. The site is being remodeled, so not all information is available (and I think they're pretty expensive) but I just might splurge on one or two. The site is Kiwi Pie. Adorable. Okay, I found the prices: $38-$52. Maybe I'll splurge on just one. But probably not. Darn. Man, if I could figure out how to make diaper covers like these and sell them online, I could stay at home forever and make a fortune. Maybe I'll look for a site that sells WAHM products and see how to go about that. Now that I'm quitting Starbucks...

It's too bad that there is too much snow to even let my children safely play in it. I'm doubting now that there will even be school tomorrow. This is ridiculous. I guess I'll just be cleaning a lot today. If we get mail today, I doubt I'll even get to the mailbox. That's pretty pathetic. We'll probably get only bills anyway....

I'm waiting for my photos to download and it's taking forever and the longer I have to wait the more I write...
