Waiting for Snowpocalypse 2.0 to hit.
Everyone is losing their ever loving minds and we'll probably only get like a dusting.

Working. Picked up another shift. We need more staff, I've done way above my usual hours and we are still going into overtime like crazy. I'll have the house to myself this evening though which is pretty sweet.

We had some insane wind last night. H's work lost power in parts of the building so he gets to leave early. I'm jealous. I'm so ready for the weekend! We don't have any plans but H did mention installing our closet system. We'll see how that goes.
We also started to get quotes for fencing. Someone from the home show we went to came yesterday and gave us a quote but then we messaged another guy and the price was like $5k less. So yeah we're not going with that first dude. I really can't wait for summer and to have our yard done. It's going to be so nice.

I’m wfh sick. We have a party tonight that I’m not even excited about... long story. O is going to my mom’s. I debated not going to the party but then there is no reason for O to spend the night so I would have to parent O by myself. Therefore, I’m going to the stupid party lol. H bought a truck 5 hours away from us and he’s going to pick it up tomorrow. So I’m going to be solo all day tomorrow. I’m just a ball of misery today lol.

M had her first tinkergarten class this morning. She was absolutely exhausted afterwards but refused nap. Super annoying and now she’s going to be a clingy mess all afternoon. I was hoping to get a lot of work done during nap so it looks like another night of staying up until midnight for me. Yayyyy.

hangry and tgrimes how are the kids feeling? cookswithwine feel better! I’m sorry you’re feeling crappy, especially since you can’t take anything for it.

cookswithwine Your reasoning is exactly how I end up at work every day. Do I have to go? Yes, yes I do, because the alternative is 9 hours of solo parenting two very demanding two year olds. goldenlove Yard clean up is our big spring project also! We actually need to get yet another dumpster to get rid of some things that we had kept in the garage while remodeling but that we no longer need/work. jubilantsquirrel And as luck would have it, sounds like it’s expected to hit right in time for the weekend instead of during the week when it might cancel work? I call that the Kleigh family luck, you’re welcome.

I’m home with the kids (on PTO). Normally I WFH on Fridays but LSS, me and H were both supposed to take today off and then he cancelled on me bc he took last Friday off bc I was still sort of sick. So I took the kids to an indoor play place, they barely played, I ran into someone from high school (and of course I looked like a frump lol), but at least we came home and they napped!!!
Now just waiting for MH to come home so I can, I don’t know, pretend to take a half hour shit and instead lock myself in the bathroom and drink a bottle of wine.

It’s friday of what feels like the longest week ever and I’m ready for some cocktails. I went to the liquor store today and picked up some wine and rosé.
Tomorrow I am going out with my girlfriends. We are apparently going to this secret underground library gastropub where they have fun craft cocktails. I guess it’s HP and LOTR themed. So I’m clearly going to have no idea what is going on. But I’m excited nonetheless.

Simply put its an outdoor based playgroup. The website makes it seem like a lot more than what it is...probably to rationalize the price. It’s new to the area and I jumped on the opportunity to have another activity for M. |

I call that the Kleigh family luck, you’re welcome. Well we got snow Sunday night into Monday morning (8 inches!!). Most people called out Monday and Tuesday. School was cancelled both days and then 2 hour late start Wednesday and Thursday. Early release today in prep for today's storm. So, needless to say we're all snowed out over here. And there's a chance for more next week as well. |

Maybe I need to read up on the rest of the country more, haha! Our winter is very abnormal in this area. The farmers and watermen are already in a bit of a panic because the cold weather we need to keep things in their normal cycle just isn’t happening. |

I would love to recover from a fever like that. That and the speed of lightning healing capabilities and firm smooth skin. |

It's not normal! Our typical snow day: Wake up to 2 inches, max. Everyone loses their minds, calls out of work, school is cancelled. Rain starts up at about 10am All snow gone by dinner time. This time the snow kept coming the next morning and then the sun came out and temps stayed below freezing for the following days so the snow would melt just enough to keep the roads wet and then it would all freeze again at night. |

jubilantsquirrel you may have gotten more snow than we have so far this year. We're getting a lot of extreme cold, some rain/ice but we've only gotten a few inches of snow all together.

That's crazy!! December 2016 we had snow every weekend, but it just stuck for a couple hours and then rain washed it all away. What we have now doesn't happen very often at all. Especially multiple storms in a row like this. It's still snowing now but it's been a light and steady snow. So only a couple inches over the last few hours. |
