Although, I really shouldn't complain. I didn't leave the house from Monday night until Thursday afternoon so I could avoid the cold.
Refusing to leave your house is something that can be done while still achieving your professional duties when you are a stay-at-home mom.
I'm not really a person who goes stir-crazy easily. I actually really like being home several days a week.
However, I think Madeline was starting to show signs of distress when she created a new game. I call it the "Run Circles around a Wicker Vase filled with Thin Sticks" game.
And if I could pull videos off my camera onto the laptop without sending the poor, faithful, 5-inch thick laptop into shock, I would show you.
It's pretty easy to imagine.
She runs circles around my decorative wicker vase while yelling, "Go, go, go" and attempting to punch the air with her fist. But the combination of running and pumping the fist often proves to be too much coordination and so she'll spin out of control into the couch or floor.
It's hilarious and entertaining. At least for someone who refuses to leave the house for three days straight.
Anyways, I'm sure most of you are experiencing cold and snow of some sort.
(Except the rowdy Dallas crew who kindly keeps reminding us that they are cold too and actually have to *gasp* wear sweaters to work. You know who you are. {insert Blackberry angry face})
Since reading my friend Kristen's "Ode to Snow" earlier this week, I remembered my Indy cold has nothing on Chicago cold. And I also realized how ridiculously easy it is to get the musical masterpiece "Endless Love" stuck in my head for six days in a row. Thank you, Kristen.
And then humming "Endless Love" made me think of this wonderful little video which is so old by now, it's probably considered a classic, right up there with "To Catch a Thief" and "The Long Lost Trailer."
So forgive me if you've seen it before but it still makes me laugh out loud. But again, maybe it's just proof that I really do need to get out of the house more.
"And your eyes. Your eyes! Yours eyes!"

ahhahaa...ok I don't think I had ever seen that clip.
And very nice appropriate use of the angry face. Just for the record, I am still wearing sweaters down here. It was like 20 degrees this morning. Which I know by now for you all might feel like springtime.
THAT WAS HILARIOUS!!! I don't know why I've never seen it before, but you just made my whole day!!! Also, your friend Kristen wrote the best lyrics I've heard in a long time!! I wish you all good luck in your quest for warmth!!
LOL! I have not seen that clip - very funny. I wish I could see your daughter's game - that would be so cute. She's very creative.
You need to get out...even if it's just to Target. There's so much fun stuff in the dollar spot - Valentine's Day galore.
