After over a week of being cooped up indoors, everyone is starting to get pretty antsy. The girls didn’t get to play much in the snow the past few days because Amanda had a bad cold. A couple of times I brought in a bowl of snow for them to play with, but mostly it’s been about trying to keep the girls occupied without watching yet another DVD! I’m seriously running out of ideas! Now that Amanda is feeling better, of course, the snow is piled too deep for her to play in. I’m really glad Dave is here to help me!
I’m really feeling the need to see some other adult faces, though. It’s ironic that Dave is the introvert who gets more than his fill of people interaction at work, while I’m the extrovert at home most of the time. During the summer it was great, with lots of activities and visits with friends: the library, weekly play dates, and a potluck every Sunday evening in the park next to our church. But winter has been a lot more isolating. Due to sickness, schedule conflicts and other stuff coming up, I haven’t had a play date at my house since September. I’m hesitant to take the girls to the indoor play park because they get sick every time I do (Amanda still puts toys in her mouth). Even when I go, I never see anyone I know. Many weeks, Sunday nights with our “Little Church” small group is the only time I get to see friends, and the weather has interfered with that recently. I am sooo ready for a girl’s night out right now!
