The east coast USA is having a "snow weekend" predicated. How will that affect your life? (Or - does snow ever affect your life, where you live?)
We have had tons of warning -- sometimes it is supposed to rain and it snows instead. That can cause big problems. But this time, they have thought all along that it will be snow!!
First a disclaimer: I no longer have small children at home! Small children are a "game changer" for sure! (I spend enough time with my grandchildren to keep my memory fresh.) Snow clothes drying all over the house. Children suddenly getting wet and freezing cold and overtired - when playing outside! AND MESS -MESS - MESS - everywhere! It is very very tough for moms!
For me --- things have gotten so much easier. When I clean things up - I am usually the only one who messes them up. (Sometimes dh does.) I can drink a cup of coffee as slowly as I like. (A mom of young children is lucky to get a few sips while it is hot.)
I hope this serves as a reminder that it is NOT BAD to get old! It is good!
So -- I anticipate a "snow day holiday". Watching TV. Playing on the net. Chatting with friends on the phone. Reading. Listening to music. Watching movies.
AND -- if the power goes out -- I am RUSHING to a hotel! I have spent 3 winter days waiting for the power to be restored! I will give up any future vacation -- to NOT have to go through THAT again. My emergency money is for the hotel room!
What about you guys? Whats up?
