Option A

So the weather seems to think that snow is in the offing for the next few days -- every day except for tomorrow, in fact, so it looks like I'll be going with Option A: try and survive more than a week in your parents' house with a small child. You know, a house where almost nothing is touchable, and you with a child who doesn't believe in toys, but loves electronics, especially ones with buttons that can be pressed. 

(As an aside: I was tempted to go to the nearby Salvation Army and buy him an old radio or appliance and some tools and let him go to it. But I really do think that he should be at least four before he starts tinkering with electronics.)

So. Driving tomorrow, alone, small child, ferry. Four hours door to door. Long trip. Ugh. 

And then a week living out of a suitcase in my parents' basement. Hmmm.

Maybe being snowed in at home over Christmas isn't such a bad idea.
