Graesen and I got plowed out of our house. We live on a fairly busy street that gets plowed frequently on snowy days. If we are gone when the plows come through we cannot get into our house. We also cannot park on the street in front of our house, so that isn't an option either. Last night Graesen fell asleep on the way home and we had to park a ways from our house and walk. The cold and snow woke Graesen up and he was not happy. My dad had driven over to help shovel me out in case the plows had come through, so he started shoveling while I got Graesen inside and tried to calm him down. Graesen would almost fall asleep and then wake up fussing/crying every time I tried to head outside to help my dad. I felt so bad and my dad ended up doing all the shoveling on his own. We have a long stretch of sidewalk that has to be shoveled (so that pedestrians don't have to walk on the busy street) and it is quite a job to shovel it all. My dad got done and I hustled to get Graesen and I ready for bed (since he had woken up crying so many times that he was now wide awake). I was supposed to work this morning and I was going to have to be out the door very early due to the roads. 30 minutes after my dad left the plows came through again. All the work he had done was ruined. I just lost it. It was already 9:30 and Graesen would not sleep. I was going to have to either get Graesen down then shovel at night or get up ridiculously early to do it. It seriously probably would have taken me close to 2 hours to get it all shoveled by myself. I called my mom crying and just falling apart. I have not been sleeping well at all lately so the idea of being up all night put me over the edge. And when I get down I fall to pieces about everything. My usually try to be positive self turns into a totally negative mess. My parents were so sweet and showed up at my house while I was getting Graesen down to sleep and started shoveling for me. Then this morning the schools were closed (which rarely happens around here) so I really didn't need to freak out like I did, but isn't that always the way it is? Anyway, today I feel much better. I feel the positive coming back :)
Graesen was so cute looking out the window this morning at snow plows.
We did get out for a while to go sledding.
And then came back to eat some yummy cupcakes that my mom dropped off for us. Seriously, my family really takes care of me :)
