Will the Snow Ever End?

I know children love the snow (well, Jack not so much Helen) but I am really done with it. And it is only January 19! It isn't even so much the snow as it is the dirty dirty slush that gets on everything and drips off of the kids shoes onto everything! I am a real baby about this, aren't I?
We had lunch today with Muddie at Ghenghis Khan. I think I spent most of the lunch on my feet. Either taking Helen (mostly Helen, at least 5 times) to the restroom or making numerous trips to get more fruit, more noodles, more everything! I like to think that I am actually in negative calorie mode by the time we leave, but I know that is a noodle dream. Helen has me here in a spot because of her potty training success......she will tell me she has to go potty when she wants to get up or doesn't want to get in her carseat, or whenever it works for her it seems. It is not like I can tell her "no" because she is potty training!!! And then the noodles are put on her head, and her nose, when is the last time Helen put food on her head?! So we leave Ghenghis Khan with greasy hair and a tired mommy. And we were sad because our favorite lady Jane was not there......apparently some kind of family business squabble, it isn't the same without Jane!
