Winter Blizzard Checklist

I have been stuck in the house for the past five days with over 24" of snow already on the ground and 11-15" more coming tonight and tomorrow.  Schools are closed for the rest of the week, the kids are losing their minds (and so am I), and I am getting waaay off track with my "healthy" eating habits!

Below is my checklist from the past five days:
  • Keep a close eye on the news for school closings - check
  • Sleep in late as many days as possible - check
  • Go stir crazy from being stuck in the house for five days - check
  • Unsuccessfully attempt to make it to work this morning - check
  • Play UNO with the kids - check
  • Play the Wii with the kids - check
  • Do laundry - check
  • Clean the house - check
  • Do more laundry - check
  • Watch waaay too much Phineas and Ferb with the kids - check
  • Watch waaay too many Disney movies with the kids - check
  • Eat waaay too many cookies, chips, and marshmallows from sheer boredom - check
  • Look out the window and wish I could go to the mall, to work, or anywhere - check
  • Get online and check my Facebook account 100 times - check
  • Get online and hope someone Tweets me - check
  • Hope my 2yo and 3yo sons will stop stalking me for just five minutes while I take a shower - check
  • Realize that my sons will never stop stalking me while we're home together - check
  • Visit the fridge at least 10 times each day - check
  • Drink waaay too many sodas - check
  • Check my phone to be sure it's still working and hope somebody calls me to chit chat - check
  • Express shock and disbelief that the kids will be home for six more days with no school - check
  • Express shock and disbelief that it is snowing yet AGAIN - check

You forgot send the kids outside to make snowmen and snow angels until their faces turn bright red and the frostbite kicks in. LOL

Have fun!

@The Penny-Pinching Mama So, So True. Hilarious! LOL

I have made many unsuccessful trips to work lately because of snow. what a waste of time. & I know you must be going crazy after watching so much Phines and Ferb! They drive me nutty.

That is hilarious! I can relate being stuck in the house due to snow. Thankfully it has only been 1 day. Great stuff you have going on here.

All the best,

@ Cheryl, you forgot to put the scale at the entrance to the kitchen to deter the junk food eating...lol..

@Danielle I agree, waste of time even trying to get out in this nasty weather. I've watched so much Phineas and Ferb that I've found myself walking around the house asking the kids, "whatcha doooin??" LOL

@FitForAMom Thanks so much for the compliment on the blog. I'll be checking you out a LOT more often especially now that I've been stuck in the house eating and sleeping for 6 days straight. I definitely need to get serious about getting fit!

@Lashawn EXACTLY... LOL

@Joanna I think we are done with our Winter Blizzard; however, the forecaste is calling for a small amount of snow again next week. I cannot wait for Spring to get here. BTW, thanks so much for stopping by my blog. I am now following your blog too!

Too Funny! Since I homeschool I'm use to kids stalking and tracking me, playing kid games,cooking 7 meals and cleaning up 12 times a day. I always feel sorry for those who get stuck doing it accidentally! LOL!

Cheryl said...

@Lady T You are to be commended. I take my hats off to SAHM's and Mommy homeschoolers. I'm sure it must take TONS of patience and love. Keep up the great work!
