It's the End of the World as We Know It...and I Feel Fine!

The world has gone under some massive changes the last couple of days. We have been snowed in twice in one week and Mr. Fixit and the Debate Team are playing. Together. That's right, they are playing civally. Together. This is a moment in a mother's life that just makes her want to cry.

Everything started on Friday. I left for work and it was 61 degrees outside. I left for lunch at 1:00 and it was 40 and raining. When I picked the kids up from school, it was 30...and raining. When we woke up on Saturday, everything was covered in ice. We were stuck in the house Saturday and Sunday. Do it Yourself Guy went to work on Monday and we all went back to normal schedules Tuesday. We got up this morning and got ready for work/school and Mr. Fixit went out to start the Burb. He came back in and said that it was snowing and I honestly didn't believe him. I checked the school closings and found that school in Work/School town was going to be opened so we headed out the door. We got a couple miles out of Home Town and decided to turn around and head back home.

By about 11 the roads were clear, but I just didn't feel like going to Work/School Town, so we are playing hookie. I am feeling a little guilty about it, but as The Avid Reader says "Guilt is just an emotion and emotions can be overcome". Besides, if we had gone to work/school, Mr. Fixit and The Debate Team would not be bonding.
