Snow Day!!

Schools in Nashville were closed for a snow day today - the third in a row.  In my yard (and most everyone's in Nashville) there was no snow.  However, because the Nashville school district covered the entire county, there were treacherous roads out in the county.  And because it is a county-wide district, all schools were closed because of these roads.

Anyhoo, even though Everley's daycare was open, she is having a period of resisting the luxury of clothing.  In other words, she would prefer to remain in whatever clothes she happens to have on, or no clothes at all.  In the case of changing clothes, she remains violently opposed.  This morning Maribeth called requesting a LaLa taxi to daycare, as the morning was not going well.  Everley was expressing her opinion of dressing (NO SHIRT!!!  NO DIAPER!!!  NO PANTS!!!)  I went over and promptly decided she could spend the day with LaLa (although I'm sure the outfit I managed to get her into - legwarmers, the t-shirt she slept in, and socks - might have been acceptable).

Once we arrived at LaLa's house, everything was good again.  We did have a meltdown when a new diaper was required, but she did eventually forgive me.

Let's just hope she doesn't convert me to her new form of attire!

Today was a great day because:  Everley time

My Spend The Night Buddy

 

Yes, those are Disney resort key cards (which I will no longer have because they've totally switched over to Magic Bands - of which I already have a Ziploc bag full)

 

Yes, that bag is/was full of the key cards - which were soon scattered all over the floor - did you know that key cards scattered all over the floor are a hazard due to their slippiness?

 

No, the cards didn't get picked up.  LaLa is still recovering from vacation!!

Today was a great day because:  smattering of snow on the ground;  Everley spent the night with me

And We're Back To Winter

In the past 10 days, I have gone from below freezing to 80 degrees down to 60 degrees and back to 80.  Now that I'm back in Nashville, it's going back down to below freezing.  I've read that Spring is around the corner, but I'm wondering how many swings in the weather it's going to take before it gets here!

Meanwhile, I managed to unpack a suitcase and put some of it away.  I've gotten caught up on most of the bills so that no one will be banging on my door.  My house, as soon as I walk in the door, becomes a shambles and stuff is all over the place and everywhere.

Did I mention that I'm glad to be home?

Today was a great day because:  sleeping in my own bed; spending the day with Everley and watching "Frozen"

And Now It's March

So the first two months of 2014 have flown past.  I've done a bit of traveling and completed a few road races.  I'm way behind in my weight loss efforts, but hoping to get that going.  And my house is a mess, but hopefully I'll get that going - just in time for our 3-Day Yard Sale at the end of this month.

I'm looking forward to being home awhile and completing several tasks and projects.  I've heard that spring is on its way, and will be welcome whenever it decides to get here.  So in other words, Hello March - I'm glad you're here!

Today was a great day because:  time to visit with John and Anne; Lindley and Everley time; pedis with Molly; watching the Oscars on tv

There's Flying and There's Flying ...

First, flying with Lindley on Dumbo - delightful!!

Second, waiting for four hours on a delayed flight to go home - not so delightful.  At least there were enough entertaining people in the airport to keep us entertained (and an iPad to keep a four-year-old entertained).

Today was a great day because: riding Peter Pan, It's A Small World, the train, and Dumbo with Lindley; meeting the cast member from Nashville at Gaston's tavern; quick nap before boarding the Magical Express; safe, smooth plane ride home; John and Anne picking me up at the airport; sleeping in my own bed
