We three are all home, all together again for the fourth day in a row thanks to the freezingest, frostiest days of the season. Our region shuts down when sleet or snow roll into town, and as we speak there's a thick layer of ice covering everything. The forecast is even worse for tomorrow, and all I can say is yay for me hauling my cookies to two different Wa1marts last night in search of the World of Warcraft expansion pack that was released at midnight, or else we all might go cabin-fevery, but with it we are happy to snuggle under blankies and simmer soup and chat on ventrilo with our pals and let Huckle watch the same three episodes of Wonderpets and Dora whenever he asks.

Things are much better with The Hub back home for a bit. He'll be leaving again soon, and I'm sure by 4 days in I'll be a mess again, but I think that is okay. I'm adjusting, Huckle's adjusting, we're all just trying to figure out what happens next... But I'll tell you what, Huck's smarter, funnier, cuter, and more adorable after I take a long nap or spend a good chunk of the day being un-Mommy.
