I LOVE SNOW DAYS!!

So since my big bus driver announcement, we've had some interesting things going on!

Last Friday, Leslie and I jumped in the car and headed to Myrtle Beach, SC to meet Mom for a Women of the Word conference. Leslie had the only picture and did a great job here. We did a lot of chatting, LOT of shopping, and just a great time hanging out and spending some QT together.

Leslie and I also headed out early to beat the snow storming heading our way. Like Leslie said in her blog post, last time it snowed we were in Wilmington for Greg + Michelle's wedding. So, it happened again. We left town and snow came in. Darn it. But Ja did a great job sending me pictures so I could see what was going on. It dumped a solid 8"-10". That made things a bit messy for going back to school! : )

So Leslie and I went the long way on Sunday to get back to Winston to make sure we stayed on roads that would be cleared. We got back in for dinner and even though the roads were gross, Will HAD to get out of the house. He had been at home with Anna since Friday, but he isn't quite ready for full time Daddy-Daycare! So Ja met us at East Coast Wings and I do believe our husbands were glad to have us back. Absences makes the heart go fonder - and helps you realize all the shit we do for you all the time!! Love y'all!! : )

So, Monday was a snow day. Tuesday was a snow day. Wednesday they made into an optional teacher workday (I will not miss a workday - how great is getting stuff done with no kiddos around!!). Thursday was a 2-hour delay (which means I saw most classes for about 25-30 minutes). So when the 8" to 10" got dumped, back roads were just covered. Since the main roads get cleared and the other roads don't, it makes for a mess. What didn't help was the fact that during the day the temps got up to about 37-40 and would melt the snow a bit and then that night it would refreeze. It was a complete mess. Then last night at the basketball game we found out school was canceled for today. We had another winter storm come through. That dumped about 3" this morning and then gave us nasty frozen rain all day. So the entire city became a pile of slush. So it's going to freeze tonight and then dump another band of frozen rain/snow tomorrow. Good thing I love winter!

So this week was awesome. 3 snow days, 1 work day, and 1 2-hour delay. That's what I'm talking about!

(And for all you negative people, yes I know we are going to have to make these days up. I'm chosing to live in the present and be happy for today and not worry about later!)
