Ice bad, snow good

No photos to share. The week has lived up to its business. And to top it off snow on Tuesday night which turned into freezing rain and didn't really last. Then FROST and ice. To the point that by yesterday morning our front stairs were covered in a layer of ice. Of course I spent all Thursday morning warning everyone to be careful, then racing out the door myself slipped and fell on the front steps landing hard on my back and my tail bone. So I am hobbling around like an old lady. I have a severly bruised tail bone, bruises on my back and my ribbs and my whole neck is out of whack. Popping pain killers like there's no tomorrow. Had to take Kit and Ella to their technical rehersal for ballet last night...they went until 9:30 at night...on poor Ella's birthday. So that's the bad.

But today it was made all better by a snow day. A forced day of rest which is what we all needed. Actually it started off not so restful (I had to be at the chiropractors at 7 am, then I had to go to my last pottery class to finish some glazing) but I was home by lunch time and already the snow was heavy. The kids had had a relaxing morning playing Wii and were quite happy to watch a silly Christmas movie and cut out snowflakes with me. Then out they went to play in the snow and now we can sit by the fire tonight and just relax. No activities tonight, not swimming or gymnastics ...not even the ballet dress rehersal which was cancelled. Until we get back into the ballet tomorrow morning bright and early. Photos of my litle nutcracker performers will follow I promise. Hopefully I can sneak off to do some more glazing while they have their performances tomorrow and by the time we watch them on Sunday afternoon they'll have ironed out all the problems. Lets just hope all this wonderful white snow can stick around for 6 days!
