Friday Fragments

* Today is the third snow day in a row turning this into a 6 day weekend.  Really, I love my kids, but I've had enough of togetherness.

*This snow day now makes a total of 6 days we need to make up, plus AM kindergarten has 2 days to make up since that gets cancelled during delayed openings.  We still have more than a month of winter left, not to mention the freak spring snow storms we sometimes get.

*My breakfast this morning consisted of Advil, the breakfast of champions after shoveling wet, heavy snow for 2 days.

* Have I mentioned I don't like the snow very much?  I live at the Jersey Shore.  I like the sunshine and the beach, not the mountains of snow.  There is a very good reason I don't live in the mountains of Colorado or in Buffalo, NY.   Have I mentioned this is our 3rd blizzard in the past 1 1/2 months?  Plus a few smaller snow falls.

*We are going to have a big clean up when the weather clears.  We've had a lot of damage to the trees in our yard with this storm.  Big trees that are nearly broken in half.  Not pretty. 

*I have a dentist appointment this morning and I am absolutely giddy about it.   It gets me out of the house.

*Have you noticed that my fragments are turning into a complaint about the snow?  I really could have just typed a whole post about it. 

*Valentine's Day is Sunday.  I'm not a huge fan of Valentine's Day.  I usually get just a little doo-dad for the kids or bake some sort of sweet dessert for a treat.  I usually don't get my hubby anything.  I don't like the pressure of coming up with something for a man who is impossible to buy for.  I used to make him things for valentine's day but then we had 3 kids.  Even though I say I don't like Valentine's Day very much you better believe the hubby better have something for me! 

*Anyone want to clue my hubby in that Sunday is Valentine's Day?

*Do any of you have any good ideas how to keep my kids entertained for 4 days? They get cold and wet very quickly, the fun of the snow doesn't occupy nearly enough time. 

*My house is completely trashed.  Part of me is not happy about that fact and part of me just couldn't care less.  I'd post pics but I don't want you to judge me.  Yes, it is that bad. 

*Is it normal for a dog to spend 99% of his time lying on his back?  This is what my dog does.  I think its weird.

*I was giddy with excitement that the new Survivor started last night.  Villains vs. Heroes?  Perfect!  They brought back some of my all time favorite players.  Now, if the villains could just not play so dirty it will be a great season.

*We are expecting more snow on Monday night.  I hope you have a padded cell ready for me!
