I do have a post I want to make about life with the sensor (which is also the reason I went MIA this time.  I always have a reason, don't I?), but that will have to wait for another day.  Instead, I'm taking the time out of my apparently regularly unscheduled (but reocurring) blogging break to rant about snow ( Read more... )

Well, winter has officially come to CNY.  Okay, so it came a few weeks ago, but I didn't have time to blog about it.  That and, even though there's been a ton of lake effect snow, most of it has missed my town.  While places like Syracuse were getting snow measuring in feet, we'd only gotten a few inches here and there.  Until today.  Still not a ( Read more... )

1.  I hate snow ( Read more... )

1.  I'm trying to think spring in hopes that it will come early.  Yes, I realize this is an exercise is futility.  But, seriously, I'm tired of cold, snowy, and miserable ( Read more... )

1.  Yesterday we had snow squalls that made driving scary.  Heavy winds and blowing snow plus unplowed roads equal not a happy driver.  I never would have left the house, but someone had to pick T up from school.  *sigh*  The things we do because we love our kids...  Then later, when Chriss left work, it was even worse and took him forever to drive ( Read more... )

Okay, so technically I'm a few minutes too late to make it in time for Friday, but oh well.  I'm gonna do it anyway ( Read more... )

So we're currently in the middle of our first big storm of the season. We've only had two other days with snow so far, both an inch or less and both within the past week. It's weird to go this long before we get any snow, but hey, I wasn't complaining! I just wasn't ready for winter yet. Still not, but I don't think I ever really will be ( Read more... )

Well, I can't believe I stayed away as long as I did.  It was hard.  And honestly, I should probably not be back quite yet because while the tension headaches from being at the computer too much are gone, they've been replaced by sleep deprivation ones.  But I missed you all too much.  So back I am ( Read more... )

No school today because of snow/sleet/freezing rain.  I can't say I'm too disappointed because it means I don't have to risk life and limb taking T to and from school driving on those icy, messy roads that our town seems to not like plowing this winter.  I'm seriously disgusted with how shoddily they're caring for the roads.  Why do I pay so much ( Read more... )

Well school wasn't canceled today, instead they announced an 11:20 dismissal.  This afternoon was supposed to be a holiday sing-along that parents were invited to, but they moved it to 9:30 instead.  I went, thinking it was going to be a concert, even brought my camcorder, but only the 5th graders were up on the risers.  The rest of the kids sat on ( Read more... )
