Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! Errr... NOT!

I won't say it. I know we're all thinking it. But I will not say how positively sick of snow I am right now. I will refrain from telling you that we've had more than 340 cms of snow this winter (that's over 130 inches for you folks south of the 49th parallel). I won't bother to bore you with the fact that this is the second snowiest winter on record, so far. I won't tell you that one of the city's 10 snow dumping sites is full. Nor will I complain that my back is killing me, my muscles ache, and I've ruined the skin on my hands from shovelling. Nope. I promise. I won't tell you any of that.

I will tell you this: my hubby is gone on a business trip and when we got dumped on yet again today with about 15 inches of snow, and that I started to shovel it all myself. I did some this morning before leaving the house (for about 45 minutes) and after work, I found even more to do. I set about handling it. But eventually I gave up in frustration. I stood in my 50 ft. driveway, hoping for help and that was when I heard the whirrring noise of my neighbor's snowblower.

I went over there and pleaded my case with Mary (a friend of mine and Marc's wife), and I was ever so grateful to Marc for agreeing to help me out. Of course, I wasn't going to sit on my laurels and wait for Marc do all the work. However, I believe he thought I was nuts when he came over with the snowblower and saw that I had the driveway 1/3 done. God love him for helping me out. I need to find a way to thank him for his kindness and generosity. Marc, thank you for today. I am so grateful.

Now then, I do have a question though. How many women who are TTC are out there in a snowstorm shovelling a 50 ft. driveway at all?


Hugs, kisses and the best of wishes to...
In the meantime, there's been a lot of good news in the IF blogging world.

• Ultimatejourney at Still Trying After All Those Pills is on the verge of having her little one join the family, as is Ms. C over at It Could Take 3 Months. Can't wait to hear the good news from both of them! I'm keeping an eye on Serenity too...
• Heather at Big P and Me got a BFP! I'm so happy to hear it's going well.
• Jason and Samantha have welcomed a little girl, Charleigh!
• Kate and her husband M at Kicking You From the Inside have welcomed Luke to the world!
• Today, March 5 (my father's 67th birthday by the way) is also shared by David, Nearlydawn, nearlypregnant, nearlyoutofsteam's little boy!

A heads up too: I expect I'll be changing the colours on this blog soon. For a couple of reasons that have come to my attention (*waves to T in Montréal!), I'm going to switch to more neutral colours and maybe a different layout. So don't be shocked if you see something different next time you drop by.

Happy 67th Birthday Dad! I know you are looking forward to a vacation in the sun; use the American cash I sent you for a GREAT meal out while you're there!
