AGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!! (breathe) AGGGGGGGGGG!!!!

I like the snow and all but if it doesn't stop soon I'm going to LOSE MY MIND!!!!! It all started last Sunday (not the one we had yesterday but the one OVER A WEEK AGO!) It has not stopped since. No church for two weeks in a row, no school or work for all of last week, no Christmas parties, no caroling, no YW activities or presidency meetings, no Christmas shopping, date nights, play dates - even the trash pick up has been cancelled until after Christmas! We are all going crazy. So crazy in fact that Steve left in the van this morning to go run around town and the neighbor next door was driving around and around the block this morning just so he could feel like he got out of his house. No chains or anything and 8" of snow on the roads. I'm honestly praying. Everyone in the neighborhood is out and about in their rain boots (why would anyone in Washington even own snow pants or boots?) and 3 layers of jeans and sweaters walking in circles and staring at the sky! Soon you'll find us all on the porches rocking back and forth while banging our heads on the side of the house. I know, this is nothing to what people in North Dakota or Michigan or somewhere deal with all the time but here you just don't expect to see snow for more than a day or two each year and even then it's an inch or two and it melts by lunch time. The novelty has worn off. And on top of that, it's SO cold that the snow won't stick together so we can't even make a snowman!!!!!!!!! Anyone within walking distance of my house - and you all know who you are - is in danger of having me land on your doorstep just for a change of scenery (or maybe I'll just send the rest of the family and I'll stay behind and hopefully get something cleaned up around here!) - especially since they just changed the weather forecast to extend this insanity at least through Christmas. So there you go. Just had to get that off my chest and now I feel better. I'll post pictures later.
