I'm pitiful.
The burb still isn't fixed....will be later today, which means we will make the 2 hr trek to go get it BUT in the mean time I feel trapped.
On one hand it's been very very relaxing.
I have loved most parts of being trapped here.....all day....for three days....at the mercy of my friends for sustenance....with four bored toddlers (who are getting pretty creative ;-)....where it's too cold to go outside for more than 30 milliseconds.
Really, I have.
But last night I tasted freedom and it hit me.
A friend asked to carpool to a Christmas gathering and my response was, "Yes! and can you take me to the grocery store and Targ.et on the way? I'll be quick, I promise!"
Pitiful. so pitiful.
And if that weren't bad enough, the feeling that hit me in Tar.get, while I was being quick, of course, was even more pitiful.
It was the feeling of appreciation and exhilaration and freedom.
All good feelings until you remember WHY I was feeling them.....
Really working on my priorities aren't I?

Golly. I completely did not pick up on the fact that you had to leave the Suburban behind. What was I thinking? :O You should have brought the girls over here! Not far to walk, but still a change of scenery! :)
Oh, and enjoy some outside time today and tomorrow. It's supposed to be sunny and in the upper 40s but then a front is rolling in Sunday and the low that night is 3. Yes, I typed that correctly. 3. :(
sometimes when eric gets home from work I need to run to the grocery store...which is literally 1.5 miles from here....and I only need a few things...and I'll be gone for an hour!!! I seriously start wandering and am SO not focused! And I enjoy it! With the kids in tow I always have a mission and the shortest route and an in-and-out goal...when by myself it all goes out the door!!
