Cold, drizzly, and FOGGY. I mean pea soup foggy! Stoooopid drivers who get on the roads without even running lights on. The rooster has been crowing since 3:00 - he can't figure out what time it is!
Back to normal today. We will see how long it lasts.
Have a great day everyone.

But it is raining. And it wont stop until Thursday.
Then it is supposed to be 34 and ice and snow is in the forecast.
But Saturday it is going to be in the 50s again!

Blankie, what kind of cake are you making for him? Tell him Happy Birthday for me.
Gosh, still cold and we have a 70% chance of icy rain/snow mix tonight. My trip to Omaha is in the balance. If it is really bad, I'll wait. If it is so-so, I'll probably go. DS really wants me to come for a few days and I really want to go.
Other then that, it's a normal Monday. Have a ton of stuff to get done this morning. I was an idiot and let all the vehicle tags expire... It never even entered my head. Gosh,

Schools closed. Again. Icy conditions. Dealing with a 6 year old who is flipping out because I won't let him have the weapons from his ninja Halloween costume.

Snowed here all day yesterday so that made for a very slushy walk to work this morning!! More of the same expected tomorrow night into Wednesday. But it's a quiet day in the office - so I'm thankful for small mercies :)
We got sleet & ice on & off all day yesterday. My front steps were still icy this morning but the temps are up so it should melt. But we might get more tomorrow. I'm ready for Spring.
Apparently we are getting 1-3 inches of snow tonight and another 1-3 in the morning tomorrow. We haven't had snowfall for awhile (although we have had snow on the ground for months) so that will be cool. I decided to work a long day today so I can be off tomorrow and just watch it from inside!

Do you have a wrapping paper tube? Those never hurt anyone.
and remind him that ninjas didn't need weapons. They used their cunning.

I threw out my back hefting my giant baby : ( Chiropractor at 1:30. I'm at the office until noon with a heating pad.
Ouch! I have done that, so a big IVY from here. Hope the chiropractor fixes you quick.
that would probably be a fun thread.
Ways we injured ourselves taking care of our kids.

I don't know about that, Lily.
I crippled myself, having Paul, at 35.
My back will never be right, again.
I'm thankful, I can still walk.
And, Paul was worth it. I wouldn't give him back, for anything.
Well I aint talking about the serious stuff. the silly stuff. Like I did when I was reaching for C's passy and fractured my thumb. It was a freak and stupid accident.
Not everything has to be serious.

Roger that, Lily.
My bad.
I'm happy for you, that you didn't have to deal with the "serious stuff".
Good for you!
By the same token, Please, don't crack bad on me.
I lost a child, between Conor and Meredith.
Paul was an unexpected, surprise. Six and a half years, after I had Mere.
Pardon me. It's hard to see the "silly stuff", when you, or you baby, is fighting for it's life.

Again, my bad. I don't see the humor.
I'm so sorry about your loss FWM. From where I sit you have always seemed to have the perfect family life. I guees nothing is quite as perfect as it seems from the outside.
I have always wondered if Mere was short for Meredith
My friend wrecked her back with her second kid. Then in her 40s they had an unexpected surprise baby & she is totally in misery with her back 3 years later.

Thank you, Lexxy,
I'm very blessed. Wayne and I, were a great match.
We'll be married 34 years, this June.
We started dating , in June of 1979.
We got married, in June of 1981.
We had Conor, in December, 1985.
(We didn't rush things. We enjoyed having some time to our selves, before we had more children.)
I had a miscarriage, the day before New Year's,Eve, in 1988.
Meredith was born, Junuary 7, 1989.
We really thought we were done. We had a boy. We had a girl.
We got a cat.
And, we were wrong. About the time we sent Mere, off to school, the rabbit died.
So, we had Paul, in June of 1995.
My first C-section. At the not so young age, of 35. And, my back tanked, a week later.
It was worth it. Paul is a joy to us.

I don't even know where to begin.
You have NO IDEA what bad things have happened in my life. I lost my first baby. I nearly lost J during birth. I had some petty serious injuries caused from birth that I am STILL living with.
But if you cant see that everything is not serious and no one is "cracking bad" on you for your experiences. It is diminishing your experiences at all.
But the silly stuff does happen. We do the thing that later we laugh at.
I don't know why you cant lighten up a little bit. We have all had the horror moments. We can talk about them and carry them around like a heavy wet coat or we can realize that there IS more to life and while those bad things are always there, the good stuff, the silly stuff, is part of life too.
And there is NOTHING wrong with talking about and laughing about them.
