Snowed in

I somehow managed not to gain weight over the holidays which was a miracle of itself because of all the boxes of chocolate covered cherries but all bets are off in this snow storm. I feel like a bear getting ready to hibernate. And I may be going a bit stir crazy. 

I finished off a box of nerds. I noticed on the box that it advertised that there was "no artificial flavors". You can blame it on the snow storm but seriously who cares. For instance, if you were buying nerds and eating them, you are eating straight up sugar. Sugar is amazing but doing so is going to give you diabetes. And then add the dye to color them.. Well that is going to give you cancer or something. By this time you should NOT care if it's real flavors or not. But that's just me. 

So we have made creme brûlée. And ate snow ice cream twice. And laid around and took a nap and ate more and then ate chips. A lot of them. And then trying to keep J from jumping, bumping, picking and everything else one could do to a fresh from surgery lip. That my friend is a never look away job. And will take a act of God to protect it. 

She had a lip revision to take a bump off of it yesterday. She couldn't eat or drink after 7am until her surgery at 11:30. She was so brave and seriously didn't cry the whole day. Even being put to sleep nor when waking up. She basically woke up running. Oh my word. Please. Just. Make. It. Stop. And SIT. Wait, I forgot she did cry once yesterday when we took her towel away in the bathroom because out of habit when she dried her hands, she would wipe her mouth. Apparently it's a crime to take a towel away. She has only twice complained of pain and has been sucking noodles last night and today like nobody's business. 

I was strong all day for her and not even worrying about her nor the snow heading our way. Untillll... We got home from the 1 1/2 hr drive and saw that she had somehow wiggled a stitch loose already. I just broke emotionally. I just felt like we had God's job of watching over her every second to keep it from happening again and I knew that we were going to fail. Thankfully people pray. I felt it. Thankful for NoNo's too (keep her from reaching her face). God kept us through the night. 

And we woke to boat loads of snow. 24inches. Plus drifting. 

This was J's first snow with us. We made it outside for 5 mins. Maybe 10?!! She loved it, although a bit tough to walk in for a little child. She face planted 3x's... But that was softer than face planting into anything else, I guess. 

We didn't even shovel our way out yet. We did clear out around our heat pump as we really really don't want to lose heat.
