Why do I live here??

I am asking myself this question daily. We have had SO much snow. We have averaged 2 to 3 HUGE snow storms a week for the past couple of months. I am SNOWED IN at least 3 times a week. I hate driving in it and the roads have been horrible, especially our street. There are days I CANNOT leave our house in my van if I wanted to. I am starting to go crazy! My kids are going stir crazy! On Sunday, all our church meetings were even cancelled! How often does that happen? It was actually kind of fun but some of the downfalls to the snow are...

1. Jason and his crew work in it. They are way less productive and are stuck shoveling snow half the day. Plus it is FREEZING!
2. Jason backed into his brothers' car because he could not SEE him.
3. Last week the wind was so strong that it blew the snow onto my street as high as my car. I could NOT get out and I missed Baylee's basketball game.
4. We can't keep the motion sensor for our garage door working because it is always covered in snow.
5. Everything is wet and muddy, making it impossible to keep my floors clean and forget about having a clean car!
6. 2 days ago, I got stuck in my friends driveway for over an hour. I had Jason and 3 men trying to get me out. We finally got out but I missed another one of Baylee's games, and I ruined my NEW boots because I hadn't waterproofed them yet!
7. Yesterday morning I attempted to take Griffin to his orthodontist appt but had to turn around because the roads were so bad and there were tons of accidents.

8. Oh, and I almost forgot... we had a big leak from where our roof lines meet and is iced over, as the ice melts, down comes the water into our house. Good thing I have a whiz for a husband and he can fix anything. He has a solution but it's still work and a mess!

See why I am going CRAZY? I don't mean to be negative but this winter has been way worse than normal. I can't wait for it to let up. I need to take up snowboarding or something but it is hard with little kids, plus it is expensive. Here are some fun pictures to give you an idea of what I am dealing with...

Our house is buried.

The walkway to our front door... it is so slick it is deadly.

A street in the neighborhood (after it had been widened by a plow)

This is in a parking lot (that is not a hill behind Griffin) Where is that boys coat?

Love that.

Love that too... the bench is as high as the house.

Isn't that classic?

Is the gorgeous view worth it? I don't know.

I randomly snapped this picture from my family room the other day. Isn't it cool seeing the clouds come in? Anyway, Jason and I are staying sane by heading on a much needed WARM vacation to Acapulco in about a week!
