I'm OVER IT!! (Beware of Vent)

Oh please take the time to read through my last few posts starting from last Tuesday. You will see the progression of fiery excitement due to the pending snow in Big Canoe.

Here's the Readers Digest Version

Day One, Tuesday:we get the call that there would be a half day on Wednesday due to the fore-casted snow for the afternoon. My husband (Grrrrr) shouts out in front of the kids "Let's just keep them home all day". So we did.

Day Two, Wednesday:Spent over half the day saying "I don't know when the snow will start"! It finally started around 2ish

Day Three, Thursday:School was canceled because there really was snow! This was the best day of all. Lots of snow, sledding, hikes, and fun.

Day Four, Friday: Snow on ground, NO SCHOOL. I'm sore now from all the sledding and hiking. The kids are not. SO I had to be outside to keep my eye on them. Still had fun hiking to the waterfalls.

Day Five, Saturday: The roads were plowed but icy and kind of gross. Ventured out to the store to get much needed red wine and munchies. The kids are now bored and relying on us for entertainment.

Day 6, Sunday:Ventured out again to Alpharetta with the kids to see my mom who was driving through to LA from NJ. Feeling happy that life will get back to normal soon!

Day 7, Monday:SCHOOL CLOSED! Big Canoe roads were ok but some of the main roads outside the gates were too icy for buses. Grrr!!! THE PHONE RINGS AROUND 5:00..............NO SCHOOL FOR TUESDAY!

Not to Sound EVIL but...HELP!!!!  It's been nearly a month of having my wonderful children home...but I'm Ready to get back to work.

So true the first couple days are great and much like the snow when it first falls is nice in white after a few days it becomes old and gray and dirty

Thanks Wendy! We soooo rarely get snow. I grew up in North Jersey where you went to school unless the snow was up to your knees. Hope I didn't sound too grumpy:)

well, this is when I get to count my blessings - it has been about 80 here all week - thank you very much - sitting around in  T-shirt, shorts and flip-flops.  If it didn't get so cool in the evening (50's) the pool would have been good today - but it is too cold...oh well...

John, I'm soooooooo sorry to hear of your terrible weather conditions. FEMA is on the way!

Michael, I hear you loud and clear! I have learned that snow does NOT belong in the South. I have also learned that Kids and Work go together like Nuts and Gum!

Seriously, I can't believe how many days the school was closed.

I am pulling for you to break free from those kids Wednesday :-)  Seriously though, snow days are fun at first and then it can be really tiresome.  Good luck tomorrow.
