You know it's a Monday in the Midwest...

When you wake up and weather.com says you are to expect 5 inches of snow that night and an additional 12 inches by Wednesday evening. I have been told (and it's true) that February is the longest month of the year up here. February 1st is TOMORROW. One of the local radio stations is calling this weather event (or events as it actually is) Snowmagedden 2011. I am from the South (Texas) and this is all new to me. To say I am a little freaked out right now is an understatement. To make things THAT MUCH EASIER (dripping with sarcasm) Edward is in sunny California for the week. Yay! NOT. So the plan of attack is that the girls and I will shovel snow, 2 at a time in rotating shifts so it doesn't pile up too much on us in case of emergency so we can get out of the driveway (and back up it hopefully). I am pretty sure there will be no school tomorrow or Wednesday. I do have plenty of craft projects to keep me busy and as long as we have electricity (let's pray) the kids can stay occupied. This is going to be one interesting week for sure.

AND TO WHOEVER IT WAS THAT DECIDED TO CHANGE MY HUSBANDS TRAVEL PLANS FROM THE 13TH OF FEBRUARY TO THIS WEEK....UGH!!!!
