two things...

1. i love the snow. really. it is snowing outside, and everyone is complaining, saying how cold it is, and how they can't go anywhere... i love it. i went to take the kids to the doc today (even though the appt is actually tomorrow). it wasn't so bad. it takes a little practice getting the kids ready in time, but since this isn't heavy snow, we get by with galoshes and heavy coats. there isn't a need for snow pants, or balaclavas.
the little bit of snow that we get here, makes me miss Connecticut. i loved hearing the plows come through. i liked taking walks to get the mail, and seeing how different everything looked. i didn't mind shoveling the driveway, or the sidewalk. i like doing work that gets done.

2. i don't like my doctors. i don't like the fact that i can't choose where i have to go, to see a doctor, to be more specific. i also don't like the fact that i can't get an appointment to see a doctor. as it is, i can't hear anything, and when i can hear things, they are too loud. i hate being sick. and i hate being sick, and not being able to do anything about it, even more. hopefully the kids doc will have a looky at my ears tomorrow, and see if my situation needs more medical attention.

huh?

i am tired. it has been more than a week since the cold from hell hit our house, and i am beat! i feel like those experiments where they don't let people sleep for days on end, and then expect them to do everyday tasks and rate them on efficiency. my kids don't feel good, and i know i am not the most patient loving mom right now.

its hard to comfort the uncomfortable when i half expect a man in a coat to walk in and ask me to sort little screws and nuts out in the cold.

ugh.

This is what we did today.

Dr. C thinks the little might have asthma. i don't think so... then again, i'm not a doctor. either way, she is feeling better and going to school tomorrow.

Hanukkah, we only have eyes for you.
