More snow?!

Just when you think it is all over, it starts again. Snow!! I tried to shovel, but it just kept blowing back in my face. I felt bad for Duke because I opened the door to let him out and the snow was piled about 2 feet high! But he just plowed right through it.

So, I went to let the dog out and turned to go back in the house only to find the door locked...again! Nicholas likes to play with the bolt. Thankfully, the walls and sheetrock are up on the breezeway. I stood pounding on the door for 20 minutes trying to get Sami's attention. (Jason was coming home from work and stopping at my parents to pick up Jon. At least another 40 minutes.) I yelled and screamed. Of course, Nick thought it was funny and yelled back...until he realized I wasn't coming in! Eventually, I plowed through the snow, with Duke, to the deck and started banging on the house. Poor Stevie is in his highchair screaming his head off. Still couldn't get Samantha. She was watching a movie. I go back to banging on the door. Brrrr! It was cold and windy out there! Then after my hands get sore, I go back out through the snow and wind to a window that is facing where Sami is sitting. I push the screen up and bang on the window, the house. She just sits there. chewing on her fingers. I start yelling. Finally, finally, she comes to the window. I think she is partially deaf!! She keeps saying "what?" She doesn't wonder, or even care, why I am outside!! I finally get through to her to go unlock the door. Well, she had turned up the volume on the movie because Stevie was crying! I told her next time before turning the movie up she needed to come make sure everything was okay. I could have been lying on the floor!! She just looks at me with that blank look and asks to go back to her movie!! Come to find out, Jason had stuck a key in the garage the last time I got locked out! Go figure!! What a day!
