Holy Snowstorm Batman!

I am truly shocked at how much snow is being dumped on the coast right now. We never see snow like this anymore. It's a little weird how the weather works here. The ocean plays such a large role in the forecast that it could be dumping heavy snow maybe 5 miles inland and yet all we'll usually get is rain. Not this time. It's coming down hard and isn't expected to stop for at least another twelve hours!

Hopefully hubby and I will be able to keep Big Boy entertained all day, as if the world doesn't revolve around him to begin with. I have a few activities planned I just hope it's enough. If only he was old enough to understand how awesome it is to sit around and watch movies in your pajamas all day when the weather is bad. He has to inherit that trait, right? I hope so or we are going to have some tough times ahead. Actually, pre-kid, snow days were the best days to go out bar hopping, safe I know. Every bar, if they were open, would be packed. Everyone walked there and it was so much fun! Even though I rarely drink now, I would love to head out tomorrow.

Doesn't matter though. We have big plans to builld snowmen, bake cupcakes and drink hot cocoa (mine will have baileys). Happy snow day!

Of All Days

Just a minor snow vent. I have to drive down to Margate on Wednesday to finish up some work stuff. It's about an hour and a half drive. Not that bad. I really want to go and get it over with and of course, we have a winter storm watch scheduled for tomorrow into Wednesday. Normally, I would be jumping up and down with excitement. Why is it, it has to snow on a day I really have to go somewhere. Mind you, if it does snow and Big Boy has no school, we will have a super fun day snow day but I did want to get this Margate stuff over with. My next raise depends on it and Lord knows we could use the extra cash.

Ah, I'm not going to stress over it and I'm certainly not going to drive and hour and a half on the parkway in the snow. Now, the weatherman is predicting that it's supposed to turn to sleet and rain sometime early Wednesday morning and they add about an inch of ice on top of that. This bums me out. I love the snow but driving in ice scares the heck out of me considering my Explorer needs new tires. Well, all I can do is wait and see. Big Boy would be so excited if we had a decent snowfall. In the past three years, it really hasn't snowed enough for him to fully understand just how much fun it is to play in.

So...the heck with Margate and let's all pray for some snow!
