I Think Winter is Finally Here...

I think Winter has finally arrived here in NY. It was looking really strage for a while. We got all the arctic winds while the deep south got all the snow. And they say there is no such thing as global warming. Im sure those southerners were things something completely different though. Hell must have been freezing over. But to me that was quite strange.

I had all last week off fom school and I didnt get to have a good relaxing vacation. I was sick. Literally. A bad cold that left me in bed most of the week. When I did venture out, it was to the dentist but I was still feeling like crap. Visited my sister and she fed me some yummy stew that made me fell a little better. But I was still feeling like crap.

Cami was on the war path the last few days of the vacation. So that made it a bit worse for me. Shes currently back on the good med. This is day two of the upped dose of it so we shall see what happens. So far she was still bitchy this morning. But not nearly as much. She complained as she was doing what was asked. So thats a small start. But she did sleep through the night. I didnt though. Started coughing again. I need a break from being sick. A vacation from a vacation.

Went back to work yesterday. Some of the kids were so strung out and tired. That can be a good thing though. But some were so wired up that they just couldnt contain it. So it was a mixed day. Quite exciting. But all in all the day went quick. I was happy for that.

Today was an interesting day. Starting late last night, the mixed rain and snow started coming down. I took the dog out and it looked like rain but yet it was freezing as it came down. So I guess you can call it sleet. I was dreading what this morning would bring. My dread was right on. When we left this morning, it was snowing and it was coming down pretty good. I was able to get Cami to school and still be able to go get some coffee before I started work. Thats a definate must. Cant function without it. But I didnt have anything for breakfast. So a loaded coffee on an empty stomach. Im good to go.

The snow didnt let up at all. In fact, it got heavier as the day went on. Large flakes and coming straight down at a very fast pace. It was collecting quite well. It was a natural beauty out there. I wasnt looking forward to driving home in it though. For me, that is a drive into the ba part of town to get Cami and then find an alternate route that doesnt have bridges to go down. Going up them isnt a problem. Its the slide down that I dont like.

As the day went on, the snow was getting more and more heavy. And of course, my anexiety did too. I was getting nervous about driving in that crap. I was sitting by the window watching the cars sliding all over.

It soon came time to put the kiddies on the bus. There is a general rule to wear your pajamas inside out so that there will be a snow day. Not sure how this works but Im willing to try anything. But I forgot that when the kids were getting on the bus. I told them to wear their underwear inside out. Im sure that something drastic will happen now. Oops.

I was just outside to take my dog out. The snow is really piling up out there. Im going to guess at about 6 inches already and its still coming down fairly well. The news man says that we are supposed to get at least 12 inches tonight. But around here, that usually means.... Ok, Im not going to jinx myself on this one. I will explain that theory later.

My dog however, is soaked from playing with the dog downstairs. They get along great and they have a lot of fun together outside. Rolling and chasing each other seems to be the main game. Such a good life.
