So it actually snowed. Low and behold the weathermen got something right. We got our bank issue worked out and were able to go to the store last night before the snow started. Joe is at work all day but he said the roads weren't too bad.
Jude and I went out for a bit.
The news is predicting snow for tonight and tomorrow. Typically they make a big fuss and then nothing exciting happens but everyone gets all crazy when in actuality nothing will probably happen.
However, I'm hoping that is DOES NOT snow. Yes, snow is pretty but other than that I would prefer for it to stay away. Here are my reasons in no particular order.
1. Joe has to work ALL DAY Saturday regardless of the weather. So he'll be at work, I'll be home stuck inside all day with a busy toddler.
2. We have no food. I know all the crazy people attacked the grocery stores to buy crap they don't need but I was not one of them. Well that's not true. I did attempt to go to the grocery store for our bi-weekly regularly schedule grocery trip but could not pay for our food. BECAUSE our bank decided to put a hold on our account without telling us because of suspicious activity. So after I did all of my shopping and checkout with a worn out toddler I left empty handed. That was fun!
3. Snow is Cold. I don't like being cold. That's all.
4. Because said snow is cold we can't make our daily trip to the park. A much needed afternoon trip to the park for Jude to burn off some of his energy. So now we'll be stuck in our tiny townhouse going crazy.
5. It's Saturday tomorrow. I had plans to party and go out with people and friends and family and do fun things that don't usually happen during the week.
With all that said... I really, really, really hope it doesn't snow. I may even fast so that is doesn't snow... not totally because I want to but because I'll have to ration our food.
It's true.. I went to the gym this morning with my yoga pants on inside out.
I noticed in the car but didn't want to turn around just to fix my pants. So I proceeded to the Y, check Jude into the nursery, got a locker and then flipped my pants right side out.
You'd think I would have been a little less grogy this morning since I got a full, uninterrupted night's sleep last night. (Unlike the past week where Jude has woke up at least once during the night.) But I guess I was in a daze from all the extra sleep and just didn't notice.
In other news, Joe passed his 1st test for his Microsoft certification. WOOHOO!
Last night I decided to that I would try going to the Kids Exchange this morning... with Jude. I had a few things in mind and a very tight budget. I brought $20 cash and wanted to look for diaper covers, mom books and toys. I spent a little more time than I wanted but less money so I guess we'll call it even. I didn't find any great deals on diaper covers but that was sort of a long shot to begin with. However, I did get 2 great breastfeeding books, Little People Noah's Ark Set and a Luke Skywalker action figure for toddlers.
The past few days have yielded unseasonably gorgeous weather. You might mistakenly think it's spring, unless you're Andrea. Nevertheless, we have been enjoying this brief stint of nice weather to the best of our abilities and that includes many walks to our beloved neighborhood park.
We didn't need to do a lot of grocery shopping this week. I just picked up a few essentials for Jude and I think we can make due with everything else we have.
