Morning!

Fort Worth Mom · Mod/Penguin lover/Princess!

Good morning, my pretties!

DFW is pretty much, shut down. We got 3 to 5 inches of snow/sleet. Some of the suburbs got up to 7 inches. All the schools are closed.

Wayne is off to the plant. I wonder how many of his guys will show up for work? confuse

Good luck with that, FWM! At least we've got the equipment up north here.

I'm trying to brain-zap you about 20 snowplows and sanding trucks. Let me know if it works.

You are so sweet, Blankie. The bright side is, this should all melt by tomorrow afternoon.

Today, will be a mess. And whatever melts this afternoon, will probably refreeze tonight. So, tomorrow morning could be interesting, as well.

Oh my gosh, watching the morning news is cracking me up. These fools are getting stuck on the flyovers. And backing down in reverse.

What idiots! Why didn't they just stay home? confuse

If no one gets killed, it will be a miracle.

I think we've only gotten a couple inches. But it's started snowing again. My car is already covered and I've only been here half an hour

Both my kids were up before 6. Yuck. I am not a morning person.

At least the weather isn't bad today, just cold.

TrudyML · Guru

I limped in! Ugh.

voiceofreason · Guru

Good morning! Mr.VoR gets home today! I ha e to do a quick surface clean of the house, pull some steaks out for dinner and vacuum. I can't get dolled up because I have a kickboxing class at 11:30 and yoga at 4:30. But, he will think I'm beautiful anyway. Can't wait to see him!

Hope all have a safe and positive day! (I had to put the heater on this morning but it isn't nearly as cold as what y'all are dealing with)

Ook, well, it seems there is a great variation in snow totals here. We are right on the line of the storm. My house, north of town only got about 2" with maybe another to come. Where I work, more like 4". and the count south of us got 8"! It's supposed to taper off by afternoon and just be cold.

I leave for Florida in one week. actually, one week from about right now!

ed11563 · Guru

It's snowing. Supposed to snow until about 7 pm, 4 to 7 inches.

And it's already slippery.

flan327 · Itty bitty's Grammy

Guess who is bored?

Yes, there's housework...

A Delta Airlines MD-80 plane slid off the runway at LaGuardia Airport at 11:10 this morning (45 minutes ago).

No injuries reported; a fuel leak has been reported. The passengers were being led away walking in the snow.

Temps are finally going up here. It will be 32 today, 50 tomorrow, and by Sunday, 60's.

I haven't had a cold in probably 3 years, and now I have one. I hope I don't start feeling any worse than I already do. I have this stupid Lego program that starts Saturday. I really am not looking forward to it. Hopefully once it starts, I will feel differently.

Howdy!

School was on a 2 hour delay, then this morning at 6 they canceled it for today.

I pulled up my radar at that time and we were bullseye for a one, two punch at any time.

But it went around us and we have a very cold rain.

Hope every one has a great day.

just Czech · Give Me Grand's!

Hello friends! I made it back home, safely! Wow, what a fun trip. :)
Four days with baby DGS! He has grown so much in the last three weeks. He's rolling all over already! I think grandma may have spoiled him just a bit. I never put him down.. (sigh) Gave him the last kisses this morning just before I hit the road. I miss him already.
DD's birthday is today. We are going out for supper and having cake here later tonight. She called me at 6:23 this morning to remind me that it was her birthday. I wasn't awake yet. evileye We had met my sister and BIL for supper last night and we enjoyed a few... wink

The temp was 8 degrees when I left Omaha, and it was 40 here when I got home a little while ago. Can I say spring!

Did I mention that I visited a quilt shop? I'm embarrassed to say how much I spent.

Sorry about all the ice down south and the snow dump in the southeast up to the northeast. Winter is not giving you guys a break yet. Hope it warms up for all soon.

Welcome back Czech! Sounds like you had fun and spoiling a grandchild is part of the perks of being a grandma.

Why are men such big babies when they are sick?

Wasssuppp! Tomorrow is our last staff meeting with our interim director leading it. She loves using wizard of oz references. We had a big surprise for her tomorrow. There will be a yellow brick road cake with some character figurine toppers. Rainbow streamers. People with lollipop guild striped socks. Dorothy will make an appearance. Wizard of Oz music. I got several yellow poster boards and cut them into bricks. We are going to tape them on the floor making a path to where she stands. I printed quotes from the movie and DD and I glued them to all the bricks. It's going to be so much fun!

Southern_Belle · Nothing's Impossible

Oh and big round colorful lollipops!

Tinydancer · Guru

Wow she must be a great director and that sounds like fun.

So (puffing chest out) DD reads a lot, I've posted about that. The school had a book challenge these past few months. There were a few teams from each grade level, about 10 kids on each team. They read books and had weekly meetings to discuss the books. The "meet" was like a spelling bee; The moderator asked questions to the the teams about their respective books. Which ever team answered the most question correct won. DD's team not only won the 4th grade but then competed against the winning 5th grade team and BEAT them. So proud of her. I know she was front and center.
