Love this post!

My sister-in-law once gave me this advice: “Have the house where all the kids go — then you always know what your kids are up to!” (Maybe you can buy milk in bulk and/or mix it up with some chocolate chip cookies every other snow storm?? (wait — that won’t help because if you give a kid a cookie, they will want a glass of milk to go with it…)

I’d have to say I’m halfway between Jane and Cheryl in my feelings about snow. I like being able to sleep in a little when school is cancelled or postponed. I like how the kids actually want to go outside and have fun, with no need for me to surgically remove them from the TV and Wii. But I, too, get sick of the wet clothing lining the entrance hall. And although I’m all about hospitality (I’m a good Southern girl!), it drives me crazy that even if I stock up on milk before the “blizzard”, I run out before the roads clear because ever child in the neighborhood knows I’m a good source for hot chocolate. I swear, sometimes it seems like someone’s busing people in to enjoy our sledding hill and my dairy products!

I think the wordpress randomizer is busted! Randomizalator, I hereby declare that YOU are gimpy.

Yes, those “randomly generated possibly related posts” are a never-ending source of both personal soul-searching and comic relief over here. Thanks, Cheryl!

Thanks again for the blogortunity to share my thoughts on the white death. I am wondering how the “possibly related posts (automatically generated)” came up with GIMPY. Is that a judgment on my writing? Everyone’s a critic — even the auto-generator! HMMMM

It’s in the 70s this week and we had one sneaux day this winter. Cajun sneaux does not accumulate much. Sometimes we can scrape up a dirty sneaux man, but this year there wasn’t enough to do that.

Oh, but the warmth has awakened the snakes. And we do have lots of snakes. So maybe the laundry and puddles aren’t so bad. :)
