Gotta Love the Northern Plains
... or else I'd be crying more than I do now!
Today, February 11, 2008, I have a snowdrift in my front yard of about 3'. Sidewalk up front is covered. Sidewalk to the house is drifted over. Drive has small drift and snow still in it. I think they should issue a snowblower with the house if you're going to have to clean the cement, especially when it's SUBZERO!
Anyways... the kindergartener comes home this afternoon from school, a good day was had. YAY! I'm going thru his backpack and find a drawing (maybe I'll get around to posting it) and ask about it, "It's a tornado." Hmmmm... ok. I keep going thru the pack and find a booklet of tornado safety in there. It's FEBRUARY and there is SNOW on the ground and we're discussing tornados. Some days I wonder about the people and the cold up here and one's sanity. :D
That said, the kids at the school have a reading program they are doing this month and next and each week they have something that they are learning about. To their credit, it's tornados this week. But it just makes me chuckle thinking about tornados when I have snow up to my arse in the yard.
I LOVE THIS PLACE.

Making It Easier For Men?
I swear sometimes the world makes things easy for men.
The latest thing? I was at the BX the other day and looking at Valentine's cards for my honey. Searching the aisle, I notice something about some of the cards. They had a few that kind of stuck out a ways from the rest of the cards. Do you know which ones protruded from the others? The ones for the guys to send their wives. Yep! They stuck out unlike the ones for us to send the hubbies.
So when men are running into the store this Thursday afternoon going "OMG, I forgot it's VDay! Where are those WIFE cards?!?!" They'll know now they stick out further, at least in my BX.
