Snowed in.

Crap.

Still at the in laws. Yipee. Most snow on Christmas since sometime in the late 1800s. Which means I am stuck. Well, I have been stuck. We're going to leave soon, as soon as the boys finish shoveling out the cars.

I'm out of panties. Thank goodness the hubby gave me a "private gift" after Christmas - some fancy lingerie from Victoria's Secret. Which means, of course, I'm wearing panties that shouldn't be panties at all. A string and some lace at the top don't constitute "panties", but I don't like to be pantiless in jeans, so again, I'm stuck.

Wish me luck we get out of here.

Manual version to flip baby from breech to head down, Labor, Delivery, Emergency surgery due to cord detaching from placenta, Scary heart issues from losing over 40% of my blood supply, and then a blood transfusion due to the extreme loss of blood. Whew!
