Meteorologist rant

So, no school today for my 4th grader.  As I look outside I see some dangerous weather conditions of heavy rain, so I am very thankful that the school was extra cautious in canceling school today.  The lovely meteorologists (always right, never wrong about the weather, right) first said we were to get 4-6 inches of snow, than said 4-8, but now I read 2-4 inches of snow.  Really???  Half the time when they say 4-8 inches of snow I always assume we will get half of what they predict!  I also think they are in cahoots with the grocery stores because whenever they predict a BIG storm what is the first thing people think of doing?  Making sure they have enough food at home.  So, the stores are always packed the day before the BIG storm.  Now, I am not saying that the meteorologist are ALWAYS wrong, but they have never been 100% accurate either!  

So, as I look outside at the wetness due to the rain, I hope we get a lot of snow since school was canceled due to the weather prediction.  We are to receive this dangerous snow storm around 11:00 a.m. this morning.  Well, it is 10:10 a.m. and guess what we are getting?  Some heavy RAIN!  It is dangerous outside folks!  We might just get a little wet!!  

At 10:25, it has officially started sleeting here in Illinois!  At about 11:00, we started to get SNOW!  Now that I am a SAHM, I love to watch the snow come down.  I think the thought of being home with little ones and knowing that I don't have to go slip and sliding around in it calms me.  

So, fellow meteorologists who I ranted about... it looks like you might have been right after all.  Was it a good thing for my son's school to cancel.  Yes, it was.  I certainly do NOT want him riding on a bus on some country roads in this weather!!  Good call school!  

One of 'those' days

So, I am having one of 'those' days!  C'mon Moms, you know what 'those' days are like, right?  Well, here I didn't think I was going to have anything to post for today, but here I am writing!  

The only thing positive about today is that I was able to get a shower!  I had to get up before everyone else this morning, BUT I was able to get my shower!  Oh, and with NO interruptions!  For a moment this morning I thought I was on vacation!  My son wasn't coming in there telling me he was up and then going to the bathroom.  My 3 year old wasn't coming in and playing peek-a-boo with me and then leaving the WIDE open and letting in ALL the cold air!  Ok, so this might be a little TMI, but my husband wasn't even coming in the bathroom!  I had it all to myself!     

E-X-H-A-L-E

Shower's done - back to reality!!

So, I am finally sitting down here at 12:30 in the afternoon and yes, I am having a cup of coffee.  I was unable to have it this morning.  Since I am nursing I have limited myself to 1, just 1 cup of joe a day!  I savor it to the last drop!  I LOVE COFFEE!  So, as I am drinking this 1 cup of coffee for the day I thought it would be the best and only time to write down a quick little post.  As I write, I am being serenaded by my almost 6 month old baby boy crying from his crib.  He might be a little tone deaf!  Ok, so he isn't ACTUALLY serenading me - far from it!  What is so awful about sleeping in a crib, huh?  I would sleep about anywhere right now.  Well, not until I finish my coffee.

So, I hope everyone has a good day and I will try and write more for tomorrow!
