Here It Comes!

Major winter storm on the way.  Depending on the track, we could get anywhere from four to eight inches of snow, plus blowing conditions, most of which is supposed to hit early Sunday.  This, my friends, will be the third measurable snow before Christmas...and I have to tell you that it makes for a looong winter when the white stuff comes before the holidays!  Now that the children live here, we have to be prepared for all eventualities.  My school district generally calls off school before Plainfield does. 

Meg's piece o' crap car is acting up again.  She really needs a more reliable ride.  If it makes it through the winter, it will be a miracle!

This week has been a busy one.  Meetings, meetings, meetings...plus a major criticism from the mother of one of my students.  I haven't addressed that, yet.  I'm waiting until I can feel civil in order to respond!

Meg did some Christmas shopping tonight.  The children stayed home with me, and they were good as gold.  I let them stay up later than usual.  They played nicely together and even helped pick up some stuff.  Though Meg wasn't home yet, they went to bed willingly.  Shock!

Meg's description of the evening at Wal-Mart sounded chaotic.  She called me sometime after 10:00 PM to say she was in the checkout line, but there were about ten people in front of her.  The combination of the coming storm and Christmas had everyone out and about.  She came home tired.  I went out to pick up some staples after she got home.  'Tis now Saturday morning, and I'm still up. 

Guess I should let things go for the night.  The grandchildren will be with us this weekend and next, so I will need some sleep.  Starting now!
