snowed in...

we have been basically trapped in the house for 5 days now. While in theory this sounded fun when I daydreamed about such things while rushing ever late to work,school,etc...the reality is that it is not so fun after all. Our already smallish house seems to be closing in, and I have given up the battle against stray lego parts and other detritus littering the floor. The children have actually been great, but I am ashamed at how I have let them zombify in front of movies and video games. My overall apathy is heightened by a wretched, miserable, brain numbing cold. I have been a spectacle of snot, and self pity for days, with no indication of reprieve. At least it is amusing to the children that I am squawking like a pre-pubescent boy, and am unable to break up any fights with my voice, as it is almost gone now.
