What routine?

As I type this, it's snowing again. It's been snowing on and off since early Monday morning. I think we got about five inches of snow on Mon., but not much accumulation since then. I love to watch it snow. I get even less done than usual because of the snow! :) We've had fun playing outside, building snowmen, having snowball fights, playing football and pretending the trampoline is for ice skating. Ok, so the last one was just Chloe, but she thoroughly enjoyed it! It looks as though the snow isn't going away anytime soon, because the temperature isn't expected to get out of the 20's until Friday. The kids are happy to be out of school, three days so far this week. The roads aren't that bad, but of course it's the side roads that keep them out of school. It's also the fact that it's been getting up to the mid thirties during the day, and then everything refreezes at night.
I've really loved this winter so far, and wish every year was more like this one. BUT...it's been a crazy few weeks, and I could really use some routine around here.
We spent a little over a week with Keith's family in Florida, and then came home and had two days before school started back. Unfortunately, the kids had colds, so they missed the first day back. Then I sent them the next day, but ended up picking Chloe up early. I kept her home the next day too, since it was Friday anyway, to let her rest up and feel better. She is just in kindergarten after all. On Saturday, I took her back to the doctor (three days after taking them all, just to find out it was a virus), and she had double ear infections. Of course this was also Keith's guard weekend, so I was on my own for most of it. And now this week...
It's actually been a great week, and we've really enjoyed the snow and the time off of school, but I can't remember the last time I went to the grocery store for a regular trip. You know you've had a little too much togetherness when you get excited about going to the grocery store by yourself!! I'm thinking today seems like a good day to get out. :)
