So What Wednesdays

This week, I'm saying SO WHAT if...

• It's snowing like crazy right now and I couldn't be happier!
• The government closed due to inclement weather which means my husband is home for the day!
• I'm happy that the storm actually is playing out so that my husband won't be upset that we didn't get a good snow this year.
• Our snow day tradition is cinnamon rolls for breakfast.
• My birthday is in two weeks and the only thing I asked for is to find out what the baby is early. I didn't want to wait another month.
• I can't wait to start sewing for this baby. I have so many cute fabrics, but not many are gender neutral.
• I went to the doctor for my cough yesterday knowing the only thing they would do is give me an antibiotic. I'm still sick and have a history of it turning into bronchitis.
• I'm SO happy that AWANA is cancelled tonight! I need a break with being so tired by the end of the day and with being sick, it is harder.
• I'm happy to be a stay-at-home wife again. It didn't last long, but I'm meant to be at home and that's where I'm most happy.

Snow Day...again!

Today we were fortunate enough to have another snow day. This is the second of the year and I must admit that with the wedding coming up, I absolutely love snow days!

I was super busy yesterday with appointments for the wedding (hair trial, make up trial, and picking out the cake) so I didn't get around to actually finish picking the wording for our ceremony. Since it started snowing right as we were finishing up with our cake appointment, Phil's mom suggested that I stay over at their house so that I didn't have to drive home in the snowy conditions.

I woke up this morning and school had been cancelled! I was able to leave Phil's parents' house around 11am and got home safely. After making and receiving a number of phone calls, I was able to sit down with the binders the pastor gave us, and pick out the wording for our ceremony. I couldn't believe how many choices there were or how we would like part of one and part of another. So, I sat there piecing things together until I got something I knew we would both like and emailed it to our pastor.

I think the best thing about snow days is that I feel like I can have time to lounge around, but also get things done all in the same day without having to rush anything. I made all of the phone calls I needed to make and was able to take care of things in a relaxed mode instead of trying to get through things while being stressed.

 I know tomorrow won't be another snow day, but I am thankful to only have to work two days this week since Friday is the ski trip for the grades I teach and I was able to "opt out." I'm hoping to go next year, but I didn't want to chance any injuries with the wedding 5 1/2 weeks away.

Friday=Snow Day

Well it's snowing up here once again and the kiddos are off of school. We've been instructed to stay inside all day because of the winds and snow. The winds are said to get up to 50mph and with the flurries and drifting going on there is no way I want to get out right now...that is unless it is to go to Phil's house and snuggle under the covers while he's at work!

I've been in a great mood lately and wasn't upset at all about the kids staying home. It sure was frustrating when it was for two weeks straight, but today I can totally see why they did it. I'm just hoping for a good day. I figure I'll let them all do what they want as long as they behave.

I've emailed Phil to give him a head's up and was hoping that he might come home a little early today, but unless it gets really bad it doesn't look like that's happening...oh well.

So for right now, I'm just chillin on the internet and relishing in the peace that is the kids doing what makes them happy at the moment. Oh and I may or may not be totally craving cinnamon rolls today...it happens every snow day!

What do you do when it snows?

More Snow!

This weekend we got a lot of snow. In fact, there was 22" outside the house where we were at. Schools have been closed for yesterday, today, and tomorrow and now we are expecting anywhere between 10-20" more today starting in the early afternoon. I'm pretty sure there will be no school at all this week and there's even more hope for no work days for me or my honey.

Luckily Phil was off yesterday seeing as the roads in DC are not passable, but I still had to work. Today, we are both off and trying to get to Ikea! We've been trying to go there for a while, but every time we have been snowed out and stuck in the house. I really want to find some cute curtains for my bedroom and maybe some other things while we're there because Ikea is awesome!

Snow Days

Luckily since they were predicting a lot of snow yesterday and today my boss decided to text me and give me yesterday off! Phil had taken the day off as well so we got an extra day to spend together! Any time it snows, I stay over at his parents' house because 1) I have no tv or internet at my apartment, sad, but true, 2) I have no access to a 4 wheel drive vehicle 3) I do not own a snow shovel and with my wrist hurting can not shovel at the moment, and 4) Staying at his house means that I get to socialize with his family.Phil absolutely loves snow and even though we got 22 inches of snow he still would like more lol.

As we were snowed in today we started talking about surprises and how I just tend to know what they are before they happen. In fact, I guessed where we were going for dinner to next Saturday to celebrate Valentine's Day. It's a bad thing, really, especially since he's trying to plan something and I keep ruining it by guessing. I wish I could stop, but I like to have things planned out and it's hard to let that go.
