Snow Princess? Ice Queen? Sick Susie?



Well, if you can believe it, we're getting more snow.  Not sure how it happened since just yesterday the temperature was only 3 degrees (mind you it was up 8 degrees from the day before) and now it's snowing.  Of course, in Chicago if you don't like the weather, give it a couple of hours. We are expecting sleet and ice later today for those who like to be adventurous.  This comes about today simply because my oldest son has to work today from 4 till 10 at the mall and I'll get the pleasure of driving in it all.

Never let it be said that things are ever simple in my life either.  Yesterday morning I started to feel that little tickle, indicating that a cold was coming.  By last night it was here.  Today I woke up with all the grand symptoms including a stiff neck.  But, the show must go on!  
So, mama will be finishing her baking today (only four more types of cookies to go), taking my daughter to cheerleading practice, running to the library, wrapping the last of the gifts, making something spectacular for dinner, doing the laundry and taking #1 son to work and picking him up.  Then I hope to fall down go boom and not wake up until tomorrow.

How is your Christmas week coming along?

Even though we had single digit temps and sleet, etc..no snow accumulation yet! St Louis is the same. If you don't like the weather, just wait a bit. Today we're having a heatwave! It's 29 degrees!

Safe travels and Merry Christmas Suzann!

Yeah, I'm pretty sure we're in line for that "wintry mix" storm, and I have to work 3 to 11 tonight. Figures.

Two days of no school with the husband and kids all home together has got me wishing for some overtime at the hospital. For some crazy reason, I expect my husband to help out when he's home. He does not agree, and thus the arguments ensue. Makes for a happy holiday time around here. Happens every year. Oh the joy of being married to a teacher...

I hope your cold is short-lived. Be careful driving today.

Aww Suzann - "a woman's work is never done..." I hope a good nights sleep will nip it in the bud and you won't get a full blown cold.

Our week is going well. We baked some cookies today - I didn't make as many as I have in the past but that's o.k. we had fun and I wasn't stressed!

I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas!

OH you poor thing! I'd be crying the blues if I had a cold and still had to do all that! I hope you get to take it easy soon!
