Today we have had all of those!! I know everyone says Iowa has strange weather, but this is nuts!
We had school delayed 2 hours. Every other school in the county was cancled. I think they are a bit scared that we will be missing at least one day later int eh week and don't want to have any make-up days if we don't have to. I was all for no school, but now I am glad that they will get it over with today.
I got home and sat had Chloe, Reed, and Ethan play in the house while I attempted to shovel some of the thick, heavy slushy stuff off the drive-way. Once I had gotten most of it, I started on the side walk. That is when the white SUV went speeding past.(to fast in normaly weather) and I got hit head to foot with slushy ice. It sure would have been nice if the cop pulling up accross the street would have been paying attention! I went in the house to change my clothes and found some fun messes... not a shock. I got cleaned up and started the laundry athen went to clean up the messes that had now multiplied.
That has been my day. As soon as I clean up one mess, I go the the one that was made while I cleaned up the one before it. Ethan can really move also, I forget how young he really is. He acts so much older! I was very upset with him at one point. He went to sit in the middle of the room telling the world how mean I am. The poor boy looked so pitiful that I almost for got about the fact that he dumpped out a full (extra large) box of lucky charms on the floor as soon as I finished cleaning it up from the bowl of Chloe's that he had dumped.
Honestly, how do single parents do it??? So days I think I am going insane. Other days I know I am already there. Well, I better get going so I can try to get more slush off our driveway. We have another large system heading right for us! This is by far the most snow we have had in years!
