Stuck in the snow

We’ve gotten quite a lot of snow over the last little while. And last night it snowed non-stop till early this morning. Hubby left for work this morning at 04:30 and ended up getting stuck in the street just outside our house and had to wait for the snow plow to come around and dig him out. He ended up getting in at 07:30! That makes for a crazy long morning. I went to my church parenting group this morning and was worried about the trip, but it went without a hitch. I was a little nervous when some yahoo came out of a coffee drive-thru and ended up driving sideways in front of me. Why can’t people drive according to the weather conditions?! When I got to the church the driveway hadn’t been plowed so when I turned into the parking space I felt the car sink in. I thought that I would have problems getting out afterward, but didn’t dwell on it. Luckily a plow was going through the back lot so we all had to move our cars from the side to the back once he was done. I say luckily because I was definitely stuck and needed to be pushed out and if we hadn’t have moved the cars then, I could easily have been the last car in the parking lot after the group was over.

After I got home since baby D had fallen asleep in the car I left him there and decided to do a little shoveling. This would be the first time I’ve shoveled since hubby tells me that he’d rather have me inside with baby D then to leave him unattended. I forgot how much shoveling snow sucks! Wow!

I saw something that made me happy and sad all at the same time. My little guy crawled last night. It was so amazing to see him really doing it, but it just reminded me that he’s getting older and less and less of a baby. He’s been sitting on his haunches lunging forward and backward for a while now, but usually when he goes to move forward he just slides flat out on his tummy. He’s also managed to go from crawling position to sitting twice. I’m sure mostly by fluke but it won’t be long and he’ll have me out of breath chasing after him.

Just before he crawled though he was being all creepy again. He was sitting staring at the ceiling (no lights or anything to look at) and then starting “singing” and waving his arms frantically. This went on for about 5 minutes or so. I’m really trying to convince myself that it’s just baby behaviour, but … Well my Great-Aunt died on Saturday. I don’t think she’d come and visit me, but maybe she did. Hubby’s dad died going on 3 years ago now and I swear he was in our apartment. I remember looking at myself in the bathroom mirror with the door open – meaning that I could see all the way down the hall right into our living room and kitchen. I swear I saw something move behind me that definitely wasn’t hubby. And at odd times I’d feel like someone was there and the hair on the back of my neck stand up. Okay I gotta stop thinking of this stuff, I’m starting to spook myself!
