January is killing me, readers. I'm looking through my front window at 4 feet of snow on the ground. The mounds around our driveway are taller than I am, two cars can't pass each other safely on most streets, and nearly half of my friends are dealing with water or ice damage to their homes. Every body's vehicles are banged up from playing bumper cars with with the huge, frozen piles of snow lining every street and driveway. My friends and family in Chicago got hit hard with a storm yesterday, and I had no sympathy at all - we were on our 5th major storm and 4th snow day from school. I attacked the first few snow days with snowman pancakes, craft projects, and baking, but the fun has worn off and we're all completely stir crazy. It has been a long, cold, snowy winter, and guess what? We're expected to get another 6 inches Saturday, followed by another storm Tuesday. I'm beginning to think that sometime soon we may just have to stay in our house until the snow melts - there is literally nowhere else to put it.
Sigh. Sorry for the complaining. Anyway, a perfect way to take my mind off this miserable winter? Planning our joint Clark/Cobb/Shertzer family vacation to the fabulous Isle of Palms. We booked our house (same as last year) today, and we are so, so, so, excited. In less than 6 months, there will be this...
And a little bit of this....
Maybe a mud massage....
And of course, a whole lot of these crazy fools...

I hear you!!! We have a lake vacation planned for the summer and it's getting me through the winter, though we haven't had nearly as much snow as you all! Keep on keepin on! My goal is always to make it to March 1st, and then it's downhill from there:)
It's killing us all! This winter has been horrible! HANG IN THERE! Love the posts!
