Hump Day + 1 = Day 7 of Ice

Have you guys seen these? Have you had them? They are divine. I am a peppermint addict and if you add dark chocolate onto them, they are a curiously yummy mint.

Anyway, here we are on Day 7 of the ice storm. It was officially three ice storms on consecutive days, I think. School has been cancelled all week. The kids are going stir crazy! I have a friend who works out of her house and her little boy is about to drive her nuts. I may have to rescue her this weekend and have him over to play. However, he tends to drive me bonkers, too... The weathermen are predicting snow for Saturday.

I did not make it outside to run my 18 mi run this past weekend and decided against running it on the treadmill. I will have no choice but to do it this weekend - and on the treadmill. In preparation, I have bought a little jar of Vasoline for chafing. UGH. The thought of it is dreadful. But the thought of running a marathon in 6 short weeks without proper training is even more dreadful.

Really, very little to say. I feel like I am in semi-hibernation mode because of the inability to get out and about. I have been coming to work - either catching a ride with hubby or my FIL has come to get me and the kids. The kids are playing with their cousins. I think they are having fun, at least. The cupboards are starting to become bare.
