A life with SNOW, What?

So, normally I talk about Skyler and the possible upcoming adoption.  Today, I will regale you all with hilarity from Central Texas!  I am watching the local news, watching for delays, early closings etc, since I own a pre-school in hill country.  Just moments ago the weather man for news 8 spoke for several minutes about the dangers of putting your hands on things to steady yourself if you are slipping.  "Be wary" he said, "of any object above the ground handrails, even the latch on your gate definitely have ice potential."  So, clearly, snow comes and common sense moves south with the warmth!  I know some of the folks who read this live in places like MA, or VT, so you should know how the south comes through in "snow."  FYI, the snow, is a dusting that has just about covered dirt in way north austin, but here in South Austin, it's actually just cold out and raining.  Not fun, especially for late February, usually we are starting to bust out our sun dresses and spend the afternoons drinking on patios at Mexican restaurants.   Maybe it is overcast every where in honor of National Albino Day.  Who knew the weather was so considerate!  

OK, so back to the life we live...I think Skyler is up to something today, he got up at 6:00, unprompted,  and was dressed and ready by 6:30.  Not normal.  Then, Brian checked his backpack like always and it was empty of all things not school related.  BUT, just before we were heading out the door he ran upstairs with his backpack, so I don't know what he is up to, but I think there is something going one.  Or, I am just paranoid now.  Gosh, that is a scary thought.  Maybe he was just trying to make up for yesterday.  I don't think so.  Hasn't happened yet.  Yesterday was interesting.   Fortunately, every day is a fresh start, because if we really expected him to make up for things day to day, he would be wearing sack cloth and scrubbing the exterior of the house with a toothbrush!   

Oh, here we go again...."keep an eye on your clothing, your attire, before you head outdoors."  THANK YOU, NEWS 8.  I was going to wear a bikini in the snow, but you showed me that I should have a coat over it.  Whew that was a close one.  I'm also especially thankful for the folks who are tweeting the pictures of the cars with a little snow on them, so I don't have to look out my window to see it.  They are also using the wind chill temperature to tell us what the weather is doing.  Pretty sure even if it feels super chilly, if it's 40 degrees out there, not much will be happening.  But you have to admire the novelty of any snow in Central Texas in what is almost our spring.   Ooooh, I did just see that the bad spot is just moving in to the area right around my pre-school though.  Stay warm toddlers!
