Oh my gosh...the rain! It is absolutely pouring and has been all night. All the tons of snow we had melted. It's so crazy. The rain is going to change over to icy precipitation later today, then tonight into tomorrow morning we are supposed to get 6-12 inches. Should be a real blast. I am hoping they are predicting it to be worse than it actually will be. I have plans tomorrow to take DD to this kids museum place in the morning and I don't want to cancel and be stuck home. We really need to get out of the house and do something.

misspeansmama , we’re already ice. Every school is cancelled today and H hasn’t made it home yet so the roads must be awful. FX you don’t get stuck at home.

Hopefully your H gets home safely.  DH is going to have to drive to work in the mess early tomorrow morning.  I am worried about it.

Our weather for the general area around the city is similar to misspeansmama's but for our immediate town, it's not supposed to get that bad. The snow accumulation is gonna be like 3-6". I bet it'll be on the lower end.
They closed schools for the freezing rain that is supposed to start at 12pm. I am annoyed because now on our hourly forecast there is no freezing rain so I'm really curious how the day is going to turn. We're on day 6 of our allotted 15 that the superintendent said we have "plenty" of calamity days before we have to make them up at the end of the year. Like, it's only mid-January too. Not looking too good if it's gonna be like this. They never ever closed this often in the 3 years prior to this year DS has been in school.

We have a calamity day for the winter storm that’s supposed to hit us later. We’re in a decent snow and ice band on my side of town though. This day actually helped my sanity as DS was supposed to come into my school today as he’s scheduled off and we still had school. So I’ll take it!

My plan is to work on my STEM certification work- I have 34 standards to prove I meet and I could probably knock out a couple of those today. SO is working and has the weekend off so I’m going to take advantage of my bonus day today and get some work done.

I am going to take DS out for breakfast since the storm isn’t coming until later.

[NamasteBirches]

I haven't mentioned that school is closed to DS & he has yet to inquire. It's an hour past the time the bus comes.
Seriously, kid?

NamasteBirches , maybe he thinks it’s saturday. Lol.

this would be a good theory but he knows dh is home on the weekends. 
He's so dang enthralled on this stupid show of his, he doesn't know right from left at the moment.

DD gets this way too with a couple of shows she watches.

[NamasteBirches]

He's probably gonna ask when I tell him we have to head out to the bank in a few.
I'm really curious how long it's going to take. Lol

[misspeansmama]

I am listening to my NPR flash briefing and they were just talking about the new US embassy building in London. The last statement they made was "it is surrounded by a moat". LOL! They said it so matter of fact...because that is the NPR way. But I literally laughed out loud. Seems very mid-evil to have a building surrounded by a moat.

DD currently has a playdate at our house and I am ready for it to be over. I’m cranky and they are just testing all the limits. “No kid, you can’t keep my lipbalm and destroy it while putting it on every 5 seconds.”

[NamasteBirches]

Nope, still nothing. Just a random day at home I guess. LMAO

We are getting ready for the open house on Sunday. Our realtor has let us know she's had 4 realtors contact her so far!! Please keep your fingers crossed that we get a good offer on Sunday! 🤞🤞🤞🤞

One of these days we should get our DSs together NamasteBirches. I think they would get along great even with the age difference. I almost decided to take DS to the children’s museum again today but I only have him today (miracles!) so instead I’m being a boring mom today.

We should! I had thought about the children's museum too but figured everybody & their mother would be there also so figured to skip it. That & also I'm tired.
Also, if it actually gets bad near downtown it would suck to be stuck in the bad weather.

We are getting a lot of rain here too. At least it is a little warmer for now.
