It is quiet at my house. It is the second snow day in a row and I am ready for spring. Travis is plowing the driveway AGAIN and the kids are at Mammaw's 'cause of the road conditions. I couldn't drive home last night so I had to stay at my friend's house who lives close to work - I was prepared, I took my "ho bag" to work with me. The up side is that I had wonderful company and ate like a queen - roasted chicken and vegetables for dinner and DELICIOUS pancakes for breakfast. My pants won't ever fit again if there are many more snow days! The down side to snow days is that I don't get to see my kids.
I never used to be scared to drive in the snow but last winter did me in. I slid down a hill into a ditch, I "tapped" a car on the highway and spent the better part of January '09 stuck in weather related traffic. This year I can't stand the thought of doing it again. I get a stomach ache when I think about it and start to have panic attacks. I am sure the general public would rather me stay at home than get in the car and have a panic attack - You're Welcome Cincinnati!
Anyway, because of the snow, I haven't seen my kids since Monday night. I did get to see them for about an hour tonight before they had to leave. I really wanted to hang out with them tonight. I was prepared to paint Paige's toes (this an almost nightly event) and play Connect 4 with Hudson. They really didn't want to go tonight either which is rare for them. They love going to Mammaw's especially because Sam was going too. I think they were really missing me. I know it was better that they go tonight considering that Travis has to work at 6 am tomorrow and there is no telling what shape the roads will be in, but I REALLY didn't want them to go. They called me half way there and asked if they could come home or if I could go with them. Too bad we don't have a live in nanny. That would come in really handy right about now. It would also be really handy if my work believed in snow days, but alas, not even a major winter storm (or hurricane) can shut down the MAN!
