The 2 W's: Writing and Winter

First of all, Marcus gave me his first giggle yesterday. It's as cute as he is.



Anyway, I've started writing this so that people can know what's going on with the boys and in our life, but I've also started this so that I could have somewhere to just write about something that isn't involved with my novel. Something where grammatical errors are not important, and where if I misspell something, it's not the end of the world to me. It's also something I don't have to go over 15 million times to be sure I have everything I want and need in it. It's also a place I can just sit there, type up a post to get the juices going. So yes, I have multiple reason for writing this.

As to my novel, well, at this point I don't want to say much. It's not that I'm afraid of my ideas being stolen, or I just don't like people reading my work, it's just I want it done before most people get a really good read of it. I am though looking for 2 or 3 people to read it over looking for grammatical and spelling errors for free, and to also give me their opinion on how it's flowing and just how it is in general. I'm not going to pay for it at all, this would be something you'd take on for free. Not to mention if I ever found out you gave it to someone, well...it's hard to say what I'd do at this point. I'm very protective of my work.

Anyway, that's said and done. Now I wanted to talk about winter with two under two, being a SAHM, and not being able to drive for multiple reasons (no licence and headaches being the main two.) I'm honestly not a fan of the evil white fluffy stuff that falls from the sky (EWFS). So I have a few friends around where I am, that I could easily go and visit, the problem is the EWFS. I can't take my stroller out when it's falling, cant take it out for three or four days later because people can't shovel their sidewalks. I can't take Lucas out front to enjoy (we have very little in terms of yard) because he doesn't have a snow suit and boots, plus I can't just leave his brother inside alone.

Now one thing I hope to enjoy is the tobbogan that Lucas was given for Christmas last year. I'd have to do this at Eli's parents because that's where it is, and they have a huge amount of property. I can put his winter coat on, shove his shoes on, put his hat and mitts on, then bundle him in a blanket and take him out for a ride. My problem is we keep forgetting the missing bar of wax.

I just notice the wax was missing!!!!

Anyway. It also means that Marcus gets some quality time with Grandma, which makes me happy because I get a break from the fussing that's he's been doing since I got my period. Still, my plans are to take Lucas out into the EWFS and pull him around in a tobogan. LOL, now if we could only train the dogs to pull him around.
