[QUOTE="Calamity Jane, post: 578524, member: 13882"] If it does snow and you're trapped in the house for the weekend, if you can, go food shopping and get all kinds of easy to microwave, etc. ready made meals and fruit and snacks in the house by Friday. Make sure you have movies on hand, books, board games, etc. to keep the kids busy - maybe go to the craft store tom'w and pick up a few things the kids can keep busy with. Prepare husband in advance that you will need some alone time this weekend, esp. if it snows. Tell him you're going to take a long bubble bath soak and will lock the bathroom door (take your knitting in there if you don't like bubble baths). Tell the kids you are going to be out of touch for about an hour or two, and to speak to Daddy if they need anything. Plan it all out in advance and tell them it's important to you that you have some peace and quiet. Tell them if they knock on the door, unless it's a true emergency, you will be very disappointed. Give Daddy a chore like washing and drying clothes, so he will be occupied too. I know it is so much easier to drive away, wave bye-bye to the house and really get lost, I used to go to the movies by myself occasionally, but if it snows, this may be the next best thing. I hope it works out for you. Also, if it does snow, make Daddy and the kids shovel and they will all be out of the house for a while. They may even get exhausted and take a nap afterwards! When they come in, you can make hot chocolate or something as a reward. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
