It’s snowing again. It’s beautiful and I know it. But I don’t know that I can appreciate it the way I should.

Our mother’s helper is out of town during Alex’s break. Our play date fell through. They’re bored. I’m all kidded out and frankly don’t have enough energy to chase them around somewhere. We’ve played outside and it’s cold out there. I had no idea what to do…
