Snow? No

We got snow flurries (with some real flakes thrown in) last night. E was getting text messages from her friends all night about the possibility of school closing today. Not quite ~ it wasn't cold enough for it to stick. It is cold and windy today though.

Z's wrestling match for tonight was canceled. The other schools had pulled out for some reason. He has practice after school and then we will get to spend a nice evening at home.

Circuit City is closing. I am sad that so many stores are closing around here. Goody's closed and it is rumored that our mall is going to close too. Pretty soon, I'll have to drive to Atlanta to shop. On the plus side, we got an excellent deal on a new camcorder and tv at Circuit City on Sunday. I need to shop for a new table to put the tv on. For some reason, hubby doesn't want to mount it on the wall.

Baby It's Cold Outside!

It is a brisk 10 degrees outside ~ with a wind advisory until noon. And it is not supposed to get get above freezing today. Did someone forget I live in the deep south? A place of heat and humidity. A place where I do not need to own a jacket or coat. Did someone forget that? Luckily, Z and E do not have any after school activities going on today. Z was especially glad to not have to run today. C doesn't have classes today either so I am glad he is not having to walk across campus in this cold.

I am spending today inside. I will continue to work on E's room so we can get it ready to paint. It is a bittersweet moment. We are totally redoing her room to make it more of a teenagers room. No more Hello Kitty. No more rainbows. No more pink fluff. She boxed up so many things that defined her being a little girl. Bittersweet. I know she is growing up, but she'll always be my baby.

Evacuation!

Yesterday, it rained all day...and by rain, I mean 5" in about 5 hours. I think we broke a record. My poor dog was afraid to go out.


16 or so months ago, we were worried we would run out of water ~ our state was in a severe drought. We were praying for rain. Prayers were answered and we did not run out water, and it has been damp/wet ever since. Now I am praying for sunshine. Sometimes, I can't be satisfied.

Z had a wrestling match after school and E had her all star cheerleading team practice. I took E to Meema and Grandpa's so they could take her to practice and I went to the wrestling match. E's practice got canceled. She practices in a metal gym. It was a good call. Back to the wrestling match...We had to evacuate the gym for a tornado warning. C wrestled 5 years, and this is Z's 5th year wrestling. I have spent a lot of time in a gym with stinky guys. And I have washed a lot of smelly guy things. I have never had to evacuate a gym before. The one time I forget my camera...Anyway, after an hour sitting in the hall of the school, they let us continue the match. I would like to say our team won, but I would be lying.
