Snow Days
Our small city in a panhandle state fell prey to the massive winter storm this week. What fun!!! Snow, snow, and more snow.
We awoke Thursday morning with absolutely nothing on the ground and school cancelled because of the impending storm. My husband was skeptical to say the least. Of course, by the time I am leaving for work the snow has begun to fall and it continued into the night.
Yes, I said "leaving for work". Although my boys were out of school, I was (dutifully) at the office for four hours. The best phone call comes a little before noon.....
"Mom, I just wanted to tell you that we came to our house."
Previous phone call has told them that they cannot host the 'hood in our house. They need to go to Red's house - where there is an adult present.
"Red stuck his face in the snow and he is numb. We came to thaw out. There is a big mess, but we will clean it up."
"You are outside? Are you bundled up?" (Wind chill about zero!!)
"Yes, we have on the ski clothes and we are sledding. Bye!" Click.
Let's see - ski clothes, sledding - yes, they've been in the attic. I wonder if they brought the Christmas decorations down for me?
I come home to find the mess as cleaned up as it will be for days and the 'hood hanging at Red's house. Are my guys great or what?
Well, I did have to bring the Christmas decorations out of the attic myself.
Today we took them sledding. I love snow days.

Nickel took the girl child out to play on Friday. We didn't let her out on Thursday. I'm not as nice as you are. I wish I lived in your 'hood though, I would've sent her with you!!! LOL!
So, when you are you going to kick that job and have lunch with me?!?!

I wished you lived in my 'hood too. You do need to realize that I did not venture outside to play on Thursday. Only the children in the 'hood were that brave!
I believe my last committed day is December 20th. It's not that I really mind working - but it really does cramp my style, my creativity, my housework, etc.....
A lunch date is a definite must. Although it will probably be after Christms - sorry!

Well, I suppose I can wait til after Christmas...even until after New Years if we must wait for the children to go back to school...or we can try to get some of the gals from the summer lunches together during the Christmas break. We'll talk about it when it gets a little closer.
