I was SURE today would be a snow day. We were supposed to get 5-8 inches, starting overnight, so when I woke up to NOTHING I was so disappointed. We got robbed. I bundled up the munchkins and carted them to school. At 10:30 the heavens opened, and by 11:30 when I picked up Chloe the roads were already a thick white blanket of treacherousness. I knew that the next 4 hours would bring me nothing but misery as I wondered and worried how bad it would be when the older kids got out of school so I went and picked them up. And now we are home with a brand new puzzle, 10 boxes of newly delivered Girl Scout cookies and plenty of hot chocolate.
Turns out having a paranoid mom isn't always such a bad thing.

I was out running errands this morning, but now am wondering what it's going to be like when I go to pick Emma up. Hopefully not too bad, but that's not for a few more hours! Crazy! And TKD tonight too? I wonder if they'll cancel school tomorrow...
How fun are you though! Lucky kids!
Holly, I bet TKD will be canceled tonight. Book club is rescheduled too. It is supposed to stop by late tonight so they will probably clear it up by school tomorrow but if not, I am happy to take an official snow day. Now I am just worried about Seth getting home safely. I am sending him pics and weather reports in hopes that they will take off early. It is coming down so thick and so fast!
LOVE it! Way to go! mmmm, we haven't got ours delivered yet. Hopefully they don't until the 17th when this calorie challenge is over!
What a brilliant idea to actually go and pick up your kids from school. (and a brilliant idea to buy ten boxes of girl scout cookies). I have been sitting here the whole afternoon worried about how bad it's going to be when it's time for the kids to come home. I should have just went and picked them up! (and ordered more than two boxes of girl scout cookies).
more GS cookies on the way from the other GS
This timing stinks! We didn't get anything done today waiting for this ginormous semi trailer to be picked up and they just barely got it a little while ago. Now it's too late to get all our errands done so we will have a million things to do tomorrow before closing.
I HOPE for the first time ever that school is NOT cancelled because it is Abi's last day adn she is so excited plus we have things to pick up!
I can't believe the first big storm of the winter for us didn't come until we are in the middle of moving!
Usually I would be hunkered down with cocoa and a good book loving this.
I am a firm believer in hunkering down with hot chocolate accompanied by anything sweet (GS cookies definitely the best) to last out every single snowstorm that nature throws at me. Of course, life doesn't allow that very often but when it does, I definitely do. My favorite view of snow is from the warmth of my own home. I love snow. I just hate driving in it. We're supposed to get more today. Maybe I can go to work early and come home early and beat it....
I love that you grabbed them! You're a fun Mama! Hopefully, you'll post snow pix!
Julie...Just because your paranoid, doesn't mean they're not out to get you.
Dad
We got some of that last night, but not nearly as much as they predicted. They still canceled school though. The kids were happy of course, but I was irritated because it messed up my schedule.
Good call...
You definitely are mom of the year, at least for today...haha. It sounds like the kids were more than happy to oblige. My girls would have thrown a fit. They are sad when there's a snow day. Weird, I know.
