As I post this, there's a system moving my way from the south. We're expecting snow and ice overnight. I am fully aware where I live...it gets freaking cold and downright miserable this time of year...and I love it. I look forward to it every year. The kids were off for 2 weeks for Christmas break. So was the hubby. I LOVED IT! that said, I was very ready for Monday to come and for everyone to go to work and school and to give mommy a break. It was wonderful..til Wednesday. School was closed (wisely) because of seriously subzero wind chills and crap viability. Thursday, school was delayed (wisely) because of serious wind chills that, even when we waited for the bus (wrapped up in my trusty down comforter) two hrs after the normal time, seriously sucked. Then came Friday. Hubby was off and I REALLY wanted a date day. Yup...first came a delay (Damn lake effect snow), then at 7:30 came the dreaded phone call..school was cancelled. Granted, it was needed, we got 8 inches of snow and we had to dig out before we could go anywhere. The kids have cabin fever and are driving me NUTS. I love them..I really do. Mommy just needs a couple days to watch it snow without having to entertain anyone. And, having said that, I fully expect a cancelation tomorrow morning...at 7:30.
