cabin fever

no, i'm not talking about the movie-- i've never seen it, and dont really know much about it. but i do feel like my skin's begining to crawl. [isnt that how the saying goes? or should i say 'being stuck inside is making my skin crawl.' who knows. it doesnt matter]

This snow has kept me at home. Hubby doesnt trust me to drive. I'm not bad at driving in the snow; when i was in college and doing my student teaching, i had to drive nasty back roads thru amish farm area to get to the school. talk about treacherous. But i think with Hubby, its more along the lines that he doesnt want erica in any car when the roads are slick.

The snow began tuesday morning. I got out to get medicine for erica, and have been stuck inside since then. i'm "supposed" to go out tonight to help at a kids' club, but i have a feeling it'll be cancelled. Tomorrow i have a mom's group, and if its cancelled i think i'll go insane.

At least erica's not grouchy-sick. she's had this fever, but no other symptoms. Tuesday morning 102.7; wednesday morning 102.2; this morning 99.5... I guess thats better. I suppose i should call her dr again. maybe it'll give me an excuse to get out of the house.

So, there's an up and down to everything, right? Last night i was torn between two things: stay up late to get things done. ah, blessed "me-time!" but, if i did that then i'd be too tired the following day to get anything done, and would end up napping during erica's nap instead of getting stuff done. Well, i chose staying up anyway. I went to bed around 1 am. I was thinking i'd sleep in this morning to get extra sleep and then i'd have energy to work during her nap. However, she woke up before Hubs even went to work. great. urg...

Coffee will now be my best friend. [part of the reason i stayed up last night was b/c i was stupid and drank an iced coffee at 8:30.] i'm drinking a cup of regular coffee now. maybe later after lunch i'll make a cappuccino. ah the joys of espresso.
