MCM Mama Runs for Beer and Bling
Here we are bright and early on a Monday morning. (Or really, dark and early. It was a rough start today). I’m joining HoHo and Tricia for the Weekly Wrap and closing out 2015. Last week was a busy week. The boys and I were pleased to have a snowy day in Wisconsin before we…
“Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night…” Perhaps you’ve been watching the weather predictions. Or maybe you live on the east coast. If not, maybe you didn’t know that (despite a lovely 50+ degree day yesterday), the forecast called for a plummeting of temperatures and 5-9 inches of snow in the DC…
My kids have been out of school or delayed for more days than I can remember. They were out yesterday and will be again today. My elementary school child is making up time on “early release” days and I think my middle school kid just ran out of days. Too bad they can’t all go…
This morning, I woke up to closed schools and this: Apparently, this is what a snow day looks like in Virginia. (Actually, it’s snowing now and supposedly going to get worse as the day goes on. We’ll see.) Not that it really matters. Both boys are sick, so they’d be home with me anyways. In…
1.5 hours of shoveling heavy wet snow + 8 miles on the treadmill = Christmas cookies and beer in my future. My very near future.
I am not running today. I am not snow shoveling today. In fact, if I have my way, I’ll be doing a whole lot of nothing. Of course, I’m at home with two very active boys (Beer Geek got to go to work today), so I imagine I’ll have to do something. Rescheduling My race…
Just in case you are wondering, no, these are not pictures from this past weekend. These are from the new storm. Even Jones has asked to go back to school.
what day it is how many hours I’ve spent shoveling how many snow plows I’ve seen that have NOT gone down my street how many more inches we are supposed to get this week how often I’ve checked the school website to see if there is school tomorrow the number of counties around us that…
Now this is snow I can handle. It’s gorgeous, but as you can see in the middle picture, the roads are already down to pavement. THIS is typical Virginia snow. Of course, this is still Virginia, so the kids have no school today. Whatever. I decided last night that if they didn’t have school or…
Or more accurately, ice day. Jones was off of school today because our county’s schools were closed, as were most others in the region. We slept in late and had a lazy day, which would have been awesome if the boys hadn’t been fighting all day. It wasn’t that bad out (other than needing to…
This is what it looked like in my ‘hood this morning. When we woke up, it was snowing and the boys were quite excited to walk to school in it. It continued to snow quite heavily on the walk to and from school, so I was quite surprised we even had school. After dropping Jones…
