Tomorrow (Friday 1/23) my beautiful wonderful daughter Becky turns 8. She's excited, I'm excited, we have a party planned with cake and all the things..,
Yet, the day after tomorrow (Saterday 1/24) at 8pm there is supposed to be a snow apocalypse and all of central Virginia where I live is apparently freaking out. Okay, okay, they are calling for 14-24 inches of snow and maybe some ice and I get it, that's quite a lot but THERE IS NO FOOD AT THE STORE.
Okay, there was some food. But no onions. NO berries for Becky's party (I'm going to look tomorrow at another store) and we might have got one of the last boxes of size 6 diapers. What is going on? I don't understand. WHERE IS ALL THE FOOD? My town has lost its mind. This is crazy.
I know they will restock, but really, GERAD DID YOU need to buy all the onions?
It's giving 2020-2021 pandemic vibes. Anyone else remember when everything was gone from the store?
Today was such a beautiful day. We went to nature group and enjoyed beautiful balmy 40 degree weather, which is the high for the week...I looked at our weather app and saw things like "5" and "15" and decided I'm not leaving the house until spring comes. I will hibernate with my babies and drink hot chocolate with my raw milk and eat lots of fresh sourdough bread. I need more blankets, or perhaps I need to move south. Both sound like very feasible options.
Anyway, today was great. We all got some sun in nature group!
Poor Esther decided she didn't want to walk back to the car and so Becky gave her a piggy back half the way and Lina (Becky's friend from nature group) carried her the other half of the way. It was so sweet. I am so glad they helped because my mom-meter had reached boiling and I just wanted to leave... I need to learn more patience. Esther's only two. And she's wonderful. Mom guilt is hard... I'm not good with stubborn two-year-olds sometimes.
Our Nature Group is the best. Two of Becky's little friends will be at her birthday tea party tomorrow!
I hope I can find onions. And strawberries.
If today was this crazy at the store, I wonder what tomorrow will be like?!
As I was braiding Becky's hair tonight I told her it would be the last time I braided her hair as a 7-year old girl and she was like oh no! I don't know how to braid my own hair! And I was like...it's because tomorrow you will be EIGHT silly and I"ll braid your 8 year old hair!! And then we all laughed and laughed and I love my family.
