Lilly and I got to come home after 11 days in the hospital. It was such a relief to be back home surrounded by our family and our things. Maddy is still being clingy 5 days later and Daegan is finally beginning to forgive me. He completely ignored me for a full 5 minutes when I first got home. He was hugging and poking Lilly and seemed to not care Mommy was home. It was adorable how excited he was to have Lilly back home. I was glad to be home for about a day. The kids were still reeling from not having Mommy for about a week so they were being crazy which was making me ready to leave again since I had gotten to see and hug them. Now that they are settling back in, I am truly glad to be back home with my entire family.
Monday we were buckling down bracing for the "blizzard" that was supposed to be the biggest snow storm in 18 years. Yeah, right. We didn't even get 6 inches! What a letdown! Now my brother 4 hours north got a blizzard. Nearly 2 feet of snow with drifts up to 4 feet! At least we got enough to play in. And, of course, it shut the entire area down for a couple days. Cbin fever hasn't set in too bad yet. Though it has only been two days. Check with me again in another two and I'm sure I'll be singing a different tune. It has both helped and hindered that we came to my parents' house to get snowed in. The kids have enjoyed having different things to play with and a fireplace to entertain them but bedtime has been a challenge for Daegan as he just recently got good at going to sleep in his own bed at home. The last 2 nights it has been around 1am before I've gotten him to fall asleep. Ugh!
The question of the day today? What to do for entertainment this afternoon? It's way too cold to go play outside! Windchills in the negative temps! Maybe we'll make cookies. We'll have to get a little creative since my parents are on Atkins and don't keep sugar or chocolate chips on hand. I bet we can handle it though.
