So, who is about to get snowed in today?

My parents are going to visit my brother in NYC today and I told them they had better not get snowed in down there because I am in charge of their horses while they are away.

We are outside of the storm area and have gotten almost no snow this winter. Normally I would be thrilled, but I am kind of excited to take DS out to play in the snow and a little bit of sledding. We are running out of fun indoor activities and he loves going outside, but without snow to play in, it is just too cold and boring to be out there very long.

We're not supposed to get anything. I am just glad it's Friday. Also there are exactly only 70 more full in-class days of work until I can potentially go off with sick leave for the rest of the year before summer and mat leave kicks in. I am beyond pumped. 4 months. I can do this.

Blizzard warning 12-18 inches. Bring it.

[tootsie]

Those of you about to get a ton of snow need to post pictures so I can live vicariously through you.

PSA!!

Ebates has 18% cash back at Old Navy, Gap, and BR right now. Damn!

[madamewaffles]

I am not in the Mid-Atlantic/NE but it is snowing here. GL to all the blizzard peeps. Stay safe and warm!

[lostinfaith225]

No snow here, but I am flipping exhausted even though I slept 11 hours last night. Blah.

[cavewmn]

No snow here! Maybe some rain.

[ginabini]

Local weather stations are calling for 20-30 inches where I am. The national guys say 18-24. Sooo needless to say I'm not going anywhere for a few days haha I am so ready to binge watch all the things.

I hope everyone planning for a snowbound weekend stays safe and warm

My random: we were saying bedtime prayers last night and my daughter specifically thanked God for my singing voice. Hahahaha I love you kiddo.

Now that I SAH, I love when it snows. Super cozy. When I was teaching and had to drive 20 minutes on a highway with no shoulders, I hated snow. 

One of those snow days we got to school to find out the buses had all turned back halfway through their routes and the school was closing for the day. I offered to drive some kids home (their mom must have dropped them off earlier) and on our way home every time a vehicle came from the other way, I would have zero visibility as my window wipers struggled to get the snow off the windshield. I realized really quickly that I needed to get off the the highway at the nearest farm, which we managed to do. 

We went into the farmer's house and called her mom, who had a bigger vehicle, higher up. Even she struggled with visibility on our drive home. At one time, the grandmother in the passenger seat grabbed the wheel and corrected our course. No idea how she knew to do that, she couldn't see much better than the mom.

Sounds crazy now. We are from Northern Alberta, so this is our normal a bit more often than most parts, but it is crazy that all went well.

Plus use codes TGIP on clearance and ENJOY for further discounts (but not on maternity from what I have seen )

We're not supposed to get any snow. Kinda disappointed.

[littlesthobo]

Clear blue skies here. It's actually supposed to be a bit warmer than it's been lately. I hope everyone in the storm stays safe and warm!

Keep me out of the bulk food store. Bought myself a $10 bag of jelly hearts. No regrets!

[comicSans]

I told my DD it's Friday and she stared running around saying "fries friiies fries!"

[sarcaztic10]

I am so bummed that the Dr's office called and cancelled my NT scan due to the weather. I was really looking forward to seeing LO and seeing that they are alive and well in there. They will call and reschedule next week but I am freaking out because next week I will be 13 weeks and it is the last possible week we will be able to do the NT scan. I need to make this happen next week.

I am also really pissed at my OBs office because they made me wait to schedule it until they confirmed the pregnancy themselves. They had the records from my RE but they still made me wait and now I am dealing with this mess.

[ginabini]

sarcaztic10 that's such a bummer I'm so sorry you have to deal with that. I'm sure they'll get you rescheduled in time!

[mcktymck]

No snow here, but we just moved here from CT about a year ago and all of DH's family is still there. We were out at a family dinner a couple nights ago and my mom and grandma were asking DH all about the blizzard CT was supposed to get, "they're saying two feet of snow! You'll have to talk to your parents on Friday to make sure they're all ready!", yada yada. I told them it's not going to be bad, last I checked it said only a couple inches, and my mom got all snide and was like "well it's a good thing she isn't the weatherman!" Ohhhh look, now they're only supposed to get maybe 2 inches!

I hope those of you about to get hit with a lot are all bundled up and ready to go!

And sorry to hear they cancelled your NT scan sarcaztic10, that would be so frustrating. Hopefully they get you in nice and early next week!

[sarcaztic10]

powerofbacon I saw your post on CAR. It is a llot to think about. I am not sure what I would do in that situation. As loss moms I know we worry about having another m/c but knowing if there is something wrong with LO is also important. I am sending you so many (((hugs))) because I know this is a tough decision

[littlesthobo]

sarcaztic10 sorry your NT scan got cancelled! Hopefully you get it done next week.

[harlowjune1984]

I just noticed I have 84 days of work left. Which is awesome!

[TnT10]

I want to get snowed in! I don't know why but I am sad that we aren't getting any of the snow.

[TnT10]

I'm pretty sure that I have a pinched nerve... this shit hurts like hell. I took the muscle relaxer that I have that is pregnancy safe and that worked for all of an hour. Ughhh.

[prvc678]

Things in my office are super tense right now, for a variety if reasons. It's just my boss and I in the office today and I seriously want to go home because it's so uncomfortable here. Counting down the minutes...

[rungirlrun]

My in-laws are visiting, and overall, I can't really complain about them too much so I know I'm lucky. But oh my god someone needs to teach my FIL to chew with his mouth closed and not to slurp when he drinks. It's disgusting and so unappetizing when eating a meal with him (esp when he starts talking with said food in his mouth). If my 2 year old can chew with his mouth closed, then a grown man can.
