So. I have to admit that after hearing about the forecast for last night and today, I was completely shocked not to get a phone call in the wee morning hours saying that Greencastle had a delay or a cancellation. Then, after getting on the roads with kids in tow this morning, I was even more shocked as the roads had not yet been touched and were quite slippery. But, the more snow days we take, the longer we have to go at the end of the year which is when we are hoping to take vacation, so...I won't complain.
Only, to get a phone call at 10am saying they were letting out 2 hours early because of the snowy conditions. So, uh hum...I think my shock this morning was correctly placed in that school should have just been canceled to begin with. I feel bad for those families that both parents are at work and now must make arrangements.
I am taking the afternoon off and picking up my kids and headed home for some much needed sledding before Adam hits the roads tonight. Of course, I will worry for his safety (and that of other officers) working in these conditions. Prayers for safety for all of them.
Last night was so nice to have Adam home on a weeknight. Never does this happen. His interview went well, and now we wait....always so much fun!
Thinking about one of Adams co-workers as he and his family are dealing with so much right now. It's not my place to mention who they are or what is happening, I just ask that you lift them up in prayer as it's a terrible situation and God knows who they are.
I read a wonderful blog last night about someone I recently became acquainted with who is doing an amazing thing through surrogacy. The blog from last night both made me smile and brought a tear to my eye (for those that know me, you know I am not a crier!). Though I do not know her very well at all, I know she is an amazing person to endure all that she has so selflessly for complete strangers, who are now great friends to her and her family. She truly is an inspiration, again, not my story to tell.
We have been discussing taking a family vacation since going to Georgia in 09 with great friends to stay with their family there (thanks Mary and Dale). It was such a relaxing, wonderful time that we immediately couldn't wait to take another vacation. We've been researching, and I think we have decided when and where we are going. Now, the planning begins! Cannot wait! Last time, Griffin was only 1 and certainly doesn't remember playing in the ocean, so this should be fun! More fun if our friends were joining us, but for some reason...they have to go to Georgia to see family again! LOL! Just kidding Stockall family! So happy you get to go see your family! :)
That's it for now! Have a safe and enjoyable snow day everyone!
