we have snow!

Ok I'm not a huge fan of the white stuff, but honestly this winter has been insulting. My theory if you're going to have to deal with snow then let's have snow! to deal with, not this little inch here and little inch there, for crying out loud it takes more energy to move that inch. For the record I don't move snow, it isn't part of my job description. It looked promising at the beginning of winter, not sure what happened but it's gone. Now we have little piles of black snow, with a lot of bare patches mixed in, grass/lawns in the winter are not pretty, there is no color anywhere. How depressing. Yesterday when it began to snow I found myself wishing for enough snow to warrent a snow day, yes I would trade having all those kids home just to have a beautiful view out my window again. It was a fairy tale kind of snow, even the daycare kids commented on how pretty and magical it was. ( l love my job, I am often reminded of the great things in life, do you remember the last time you thought snow was magical) Of course it didn't last, it melted away by mid afternoon, so now add mud to the previous view, oh joy! The second wave last night was annoying more than anything, no melting just very slippery roads and intersections. in a word yuck! So why can't we have mounds of snow, but make sure those roads stay clear and drivable, shouldn't be that hard, really I don't think it's too much to ask.
on a different note, our neighbor is in the hospital agian. Kevin took him out to the er last night, in horrible pain from spasms associated with his catheter. There has been talk on previous er trips that he needs to go to a nursing home, I fear it is becoming a reality rather than talk. Pray for him and his family as they face this new decision. Today I hope to complete the final preparations for the scrapbook class I teach tomorrow. The butterflies have already set in, I always do this get so nervous and worry I will look like a dork or something. It always ends up being a fun and interesting experience. until next time, hope you find magic in your day. Debbie
