Snow Day(s)




I always think back to that fateful December Day in 1991 when I was thinking about where to go to college, and I thought "I'm going to go someplace warm."
Little did I know, the place I chose would be HORRIBLY warm in August, but also have some mighty cold days.
We just completed 4 straight days of no school due to all the snow and the layer of ice under it all. Never in my growing up years did school get cancelled for 4 days! (Actually, school was in on Monday, but the roads got so bad from 9 to 10, that I went and picked them both up!)
The kids were great, it was me who almost lost it! We sledded several days and I even pulled them on the sled to the local high school to sled on the berms there. (Aaron took my truck on Wed. b/c his "sport tires" are WORTHLESS on snow and ice....so I was stranded...I don't do well stranded.)
It was 65 degrees yesterday, so it's all a distant memory. All I thought of the whole time was, "I'm going to Mexico in 10 days...."
