Pretty!

It's snowing. I'm happy.

The school had a 2 hour delay which means I had to get up, come to my sister's and watch her kids before taking them to the sitters. If the school has a delay, she follows the school and doesn't allow kids into her home until 8 instead of 6. So I fell back asleep when I got here. I just woke them up. I'm getting ready to take them and head home and get a shower and leave for school!

I got a picture of the pretty snow too :)
I'll post it later!

Not Again.

Preston is sick. AGAIN! I'm seriously getting disgusted. I don't know what to do. They keep telling me the same thing over and over. He takes the meds gets better and then a few days later he's sick again. I talked to my mom and said you and Ryan can deal with it. I'm trying to enjoy a stress-free weekend. I'll only go home if I'm absolutely needed or he's being admitted to the hospital. Ashely and I were going to try and leave tomorrow but holy hell this snow is outrageous. Ryan sent me a picture from my sister's. How I wish I was at home to see this winter wonderland. It's a winter wonderland here too..but it would be better with my family. We're going to try and leave tomorrow. My car is at her parents so I'm driving straight home from there. I'll post the picture later and I'll let you all know when I'm leaving!

Why??

Why am I awake when I don't have to be?

and isn't it amazing that the day I don't have to be at school, we get threatened with a winter storm getting almost a foot of snow and they call school off at 6am, yes my brother called me. See, I would go to school and leave early so you don't have to make it up. Whatever. I don't have to go to school and I don't care.

And, I sound like a broken record, but I' m sooo proud of myself and just happy as can be. I swear, I'll be back with details at some point.

Oh Sweet Snow!

I love you sweet snow. You gave me an extra two hours of sleep this morning. But why couldn't you have come worse last night so they would have declared a delay last night I wouldn't have had to wake up at 6:30. Oh well. I got to sleep until 8:30 and was happier than ever. Now, let's go to school to deal with little kids during inside recess. YAY! NOT!

We have a love/hate relationship!

I love snow. I hate snow.

We're finally getting this snow storm and I'm overly delighted. But I'm not. I had to drive home tonight in the snow. By myself. With two kids. It was not fun. Abbie was ready to puke her guts out from drinking to much lemonade. Preston was screaming because he was tired. I was ready to scream, cry, rip my hair out, and pee myself. I'll post more later. Now I'm going to watch the snow fall. I'm in love!

Few responses..

I'm going to start posting responses on here to comments received on hm.. last five posts that have comments. .. here goes. oldest to newest.

Snotty Mess-

1. From Pam- Tis the season! Everyone here is a snotty mess too. It does suck
2. From Dana- sorry you're feeling yucky! i hate that...
3. From Burgh Baby- Hope you are feeling better!

1. Pam, I am feeling much better.
   
2. Dana, I hate feeling sick. ick.
   
3. Burgh Baby, I am. Thanks.
   

What Do I Do-

1. From Pam- I iked to know and find out because then I can plan- bedrooms, clothes, names, etc. I just like being able to do all that. But I know lots of people who do not find out.
2. From Dana- i think it should be a surprise.. there are such few surprises in life!! but it is really your choice.. do what makes you happy!!!!
3. From Erin- O you can't find out the gender and NOT tell. That is unfair!!
   
   And about the pic..u can just use the same one you used. Unless you find something else. I'm not picky!!

1. Pam, I agree. With the first two I found out and it was easier. But with Preston we were told girl then boy then girl then boy.
   
2. Dana, We have decided to keep it a surprise. And yes, few things in life are a surprise which I decided to keep it a surprise because I don't plan for more kids. And I'm happy with my choice.
   
3. Erin, I'm just stupid like that and would make people wait :) And, I have the picture. I'll upload it to the blog! :)

Sick As A Dog-

1. From Pam- I'm so sorry you hear you are not feeling well. I'm glad you were able to take the day off and Ryan took care of you (how sweet!!). I hope you are feeling better!

1. I'm so happy I was able to take the day off. He always takes care of me. I take care of him. And I'm happy to have a man like that.
   

I have nothing..

1. From Pam- even though you have had some ups and downs- it sounds like you love each other and that is what is most important. You will figure out the family of 5 stuff- it will come.
2. From Danielle- awe..so sweet. pete and I have had many ups and downs. Greay story
3. From Erin- You know, I truly believe that no relationship can be successful until you come to the point of almost breaking up at least once. Sounds odd, I know. But sometimes you just have to get to that point.
   Great story..

1. Pam, I think every relationship is up and down. No relationship is completely easy with no fights. We do love each other although he tries to act like he doesn't when he's with friends. I think it will be easier to adjust to a baby over the summer and we will have more time with him/her than we did with Preston since he went back to school slmost immediately and I went back in a little over a month.
   
2. Danielle, He is the sweetest person in the world and I love him with everything I have. I think no relationship is complete without ups and downs. Thanks :)
3. Erin, We always had our times from beginning to now. I actually think our breakup was helpful. But who knows. We're happy and in love. It's a boring story compared to some!
   

.5

1. From Pam- Oh- that is romantic! I'm sitting on my big butt wrapped in a blanket because it is cold. I love the idea of a walk in the snow- but I get cold so quickly that I wouldn't actually go out. We got about the same amount of snow here.
2. From Erin- How sweet! It just started back up again here. We have big puffy flakes. Love this stuff!

1. It was. Trying to keep each other warm while talking and catching snowflakes on our tounges. But my new jacket keeps me warm. And so does Ryan. But now I'm in 2 pair of sweatpants, 2 shirts, a sweatshirt, and 3 pair of socks. We got a little more snow. Not much.
2. It is sweet. I don't think it really stopped at all yet.. let me check... yep, still snowing. It's not big and puffy but it's not real fine. More puffy but not big puffy.. hah. I'm Lovin' It! Hah, sound like McDonalds. Yum. Fruit and yogurt parfait.
   

Just so you all know what I think after I read your comments.

i didn't link to erin.. she's private.

We got about .5 of an inch of snow.. maybe more. It's laying. It's freezing and it's slippy outside.
Ryan and I took a walk tonight in the snow and how romantic. It was wonderful!

Hail? Sleet? Snow?

I'm currently at my sister's house. It's trick-or-treat tonight. Yippe. (not)
All of the sudden we hear this clinging against the air conditioner [it's mounted in the wall]
I look. It's freakin hail. Then it's sleet. Maybe it's snow now. Who knows.
Maybe I won't take the kids trick-or-treating.

Take a look:

I made it black and white. I thought maybe it would be easier to see.
If you can see little white dots, that's the hail. It lasted five minutes.
But damn, it hit fast and it hit hard.
Now it's snowing.

have fun in the snow children. (if you're getting snow)
