Today

So, the snow started.  All of the pictures from my car were taken when I was stopped, or going under 5 mph, so no lectures, ok? It was slow and fun and beautiful.  I would have taken pictures coming out of Walmart, but it was snowing big, fat, wet flakes.  It felt like I was getting pelted by last nights soggy peas.  Soft and not painful, but very cold and wet.  splat splat.

WalMart?  Why stop on a night like tonight, you ask?  Well, Brett needed a pair of gloves.  Come to think of it, the girls coats are many years old, with broken zippers, tears, and lost hoods.  Brett doesn't even OWN one that fits.  Add to that the fact that they all own tennis shoes, nothing else.  *sigh*  Yeah, I wrote a big fat check that I couldn't afford tonight.  They all have new coats that work and fit.  The girls have snow pants, and all three have new snow boots.

Yeah, I know.  We'll be sorry later, when we pay bills, but right now, my kids are thrilled, and they'll be warm tomorrow, while playing in the snow on a second snow-day in a row.  It makes me feel good to see them so happy while trying them on.  And, they'll be so much warmer while playing in the snow at Grandma's.

Well, I have statements tomorrow, so it'll be an early night for me.  Damn TV...so many good things on tonight.  I guess I can always make up the sleep tomorrow, but now I am working Saturdays, too.  *sigh* again.  3 1/2 weeks, and the pressure lets up.  I'm counting them down, boys and girls.
