Me too kids... Me too.

Oi vey. Really? Snow? I mean C'MON!!!!

Jeremiah's cell phone gave off that horrid noise this morning at 5:30. Yep, it rang to say, "Come in to work and plow." Now really, I don't ever mind this, it doesn't matter to me. As long as we have cereal bars or pancakes in the house so that I don't have to do crunchy cereal which drives me nuts first thing in the morning, I'm game. But when it's March 23rd and the mountains and mountains of snow were almost completely non-existent, the fact that Jeremiah had to go plow did nothing to blow my skirt up.

So I pulled myself from bed and got Jonah up and ready for school. At 8:15 when the bus should have been at our driveway and there were no kids, I thought, "Hmmm, maybe we have a late start." Checked out Kare11.com to find that there was NO SCHOOL! I was a little shocked to find this, since there really wasn't that much snow. I mean, we've definitely had more! But I suppose the rain yesterday, turning to ice and snowing on top of that did the trick. And a bit of me wonders if since we haven't had one yet this year if they were a little more liberal with their doling out of the snow day at hand. Whatevs. Works for me!

So Jones (which I was informed today is what he always prefers to be called now instead of Jonah) ran up to change out of his uniform and into his Twin's jersey. I looked at his Twin's jersey and almost started to cry. Twin's means baseball. Baseball means Target field. Target field means warm, non-snowy weather. Something I'm almost convinced that God has forgotten about.

Although he was delighted to see the amount of snow covering everything this morning, Jonah did make mention of also wishing for spring and summer. All I could say as I (irrationally) felt like I couldn't promise anything in regards to weather anymore, "Me too Jones... Me too."

It really helps when my mom and dad are down in Missouri, "Chillin with an ice cream cone" (as shown by the picture my darling mother just texted me). And it really helps that my sister is leaving this weekend for Louisiana for a week. But hey! I get to head UP NORTH next week! Oh goody. No... I'm actually very excited to head up north, because my in-laws are coming to watch the kids for 2 days/1 night while Jeremiah and I have our first get-away by ourselves since our honeymoon! The time alone together will be so very, very appreciated, cherished and treasured!

Only in MN, only in MN! It's funny, I updated my blog today too about this darn tootin' weather!

Glad you and Jer are going on a little get away next week. Hopefully by then the snow will have melted and you can enjoy some nice non snowy days!
