Let it snow!

Going on 48 hours here of snow, and I love it! We have over 2 feet of snow in the back yard and I think it's about 2 feet of snow in the front as well. You can barely see the Murano, and that's no small car! Poor Bay is almost getting lost in the snow, and she's not a little thing!
Delanah and I have been having a great time in the house. What a little tornado she is! Yup, can't wait till she starts walking! I barely have time to pick up one mess before she's on to the next thing. This morning she discovered that playing in Bailey's water bowl was great fun...not for me or Bailey, but she sure loved it :) In between cuddles and stories and dancing and chasing I have been getting the house ready for my in-laws! By this time tomorrow they should be here! You know, I blame the snow on them, last time they were here we had a freak snow fall as well...hmmm...coincidence? They are in for a treat when they land!

A few weeks ago I hit a slump. Being home was overwhelming, I had lost a sense of self. Add that to Dave traveling a lot and it was a recipe for disaster. Dave and I managed to talk things out, a nice, long phone call to a good friend together, a nice talk and walk with another friend and rereading "In Praise of Stay at Home Moms" and I feel renewed. How could I even start to question who I was when I have the most important job? I have been on a tear making sure I get the house clean, have our days more organized and focus on really spending time with Delanah. Things aren't perfect, but they are getting better. This week I tried out 2 new recipes and they were a success! This afternoon Delanah and I are going to make some "healthy" cookies together and I almost have the house in the shape that makes me happiest...clutter free! Amazing how a new perspective, some sleep and some energy can change everything.
