snow jam 2011

When the weatherman predicted snow this week I was confident we would get some but just thought it would impact us for a day. Nobody thought it would be like this. Just about everything is still closed, including all of the malls. Luckily Publix was open today, so we bundled up and walked to the grocery store. We were all getting a touch of cabin fever and needed a field trip but more importantly, Love Bug was down to 4 diapers. Thank goodness Publix was open!

The city is going to be practically shut down again tomorrow. Every county has canceled school and D will be working from home again. The snow is still here but it is the ice that is causing the issue. We have about 2 inches of ice in our neighborhood, and sections of the major highways are so bad here that they have been shut down with miles worth of tractor trailers and cars stranded. Some of those cars have been there for over 24 hours! And with temperatures staying below freezing (the lows tonight are in the teens) the slush will refreeze and the ice already here ain't going anywhere.

We decided not to put the kids in the stroller for our venture out to the grocery store, so we bundled Love Bug up and D wore her in the Baby Bjorn and we let The Mayor walk. What is normally a 5 minute walk took almost 20 minutes because we had to walk through 6 inches of snow and The Mayor had to stop every few feet to pick up some fresh snow and eat it. Because of the longer walk, he ended up peeing in his big boy pants but did pee in the potty at Publix twice! Other than that, we had no accidents today. He is really getting good at knowing when he has to go...we didn't have to set the timer at all today to remind him to go.

Because we let The Mayor walk to Publix and walk home, he was worn out. He actually stopped walking at one point and told me he was tired. About 20 minutes after we were home, I found him laying on D's shoulder sound asleep. We let him sleep for about 30 minutes and then spent about another 15 minutes waking him up. He was out. Even with Love Bug poking him in the face, he still was sacked out. Gotta love the snow.
