So Monday it was five degrees with fifteen-below windchills. Yesterday it was fifty-five degrees. Today it’s hovering around freezing, with a lovely mixture of precipitation falling out of the sky. Sleet, freezing rain, a snowflake here and there.
And they say it’s going to get really bad this afternoon.
Umm…could they be a little more specific? Like 2:00 and I’m going to have to strap Mini to a sled to get my kids home from school? 4:00 and I should reconsider the short kid’s dental appointment?
We’re supposed to have freezing rain for 10-16 hours. Nice.
1) If the power goes out and I miss Survivor or CSI (hello, Lawrence!), Mother Nature and I are going to have a nasty (thought admittedly one-sided) little chat.
2) Probability of two-hour school delay with possibility of total snow day for tomorrow doesn’t make me a happy camper. Normally I enjoy snow days, but not yet. It hasn’t been miserable enough yet for me to appreciate hibernating for a day.
My husband, of course, is all :cheer: and :boogie: because :sled: is imminent. He’s already scheming a trip up north for the middle of next week.
So I’m off to the store to be one of those frenzied, rushed people I usually mock, buying bread and toilet paper.
Oh, we’re also going to look at area rugs because there’s a rumor we might be moving the office back into the newly-lavender office today or tomorrow! Which means I’ll be able to break out the Christmas stuff!

Well, as long as your husband breaks out the cheerleader outfit…

Be safe and er, um, have fun. And good luck on getting that office back together soon!

I have an aversion to ice. I can drive in snow IF I MUST but ice is dreadful. We lose power, heat all that is necessary to survival. I’m glad your DH is happy. Ice/Snow should make SOMEONE happy.
I want to see pics when the office is done.
