1. Run to Dunkin Donuts as the snow starts because you might be able to get out for a day or 2--ironically, my hubby didn't even get coffee despite being the sole coffee drinker in the house. Also, wanted to get the kids out of the house to kill some time since we knew we'd be housebound for a bit. (If only we knew how long we might have stayed out longer!).
3. Drive home.
4. Realize once you get home that you are missing some ingredients to make nachos and chili (dinner for last night and tonight). Send hubby back out into snow to get that.
5. Make homemade mac and cheese for lunch. Bake cupcakes to decorate later with the kids.
6. Call neighbor to bring kids over to play because kids are already irritating you--chit chat with her while 5 kids under the age of 6 run amok throughout the house.
7. Put kids down for a nap. Try to get cleaning and work done.
8. Get annoyed at kids because they won't nap, meaning you won't get your work stuff and cleaning done.
9. Do lots of laundry in case power goes out.
10. Do 8 million math pages with oldest child because she asked. Play trucks with youngest child because he is all about stuff with wheels.
11. Send children outside with husband to play in the snow while he shovels.
12. Make nachos for dinner. Decorate cupcakes and eat for dessert. Marvel at the fact that your children are old enough to not trash the entire kitchen when doing this activity. Decide that we must make cupcakes more often.
13. Bedtime for kids=drinks for us.
14. Study while hubby cleans snow again.
15. Listen to wind whip snow and ice into your window.
16. Look at the driveway your hubby cleared 2 hours ago, and say "HOLY COW!!" because there are already 6-8 inches covering everything again.
17. Go to sleep wondering what everything will look like in the am.
