I remember that day as IFit was only two years ago (ha ha, I'm just kidding around)

Seriously, that morning after my kids went to school, I was putting away clothes, crying the whole time and I saw a blue jay flying around and landing on a tree limb outside. I watched it for awhile and it flew off, I had stopped bawling by then and thanked it for the beautiful site.

I decided to make a bank run, did that, went and bought bags for my vaccum cleaner and then I took myself to Micky D's for Shamrock shakes for everybody. I went home.

A few hours later, my then youngest, came home from Pre School as she got off the bus, she told me that it was going to snow. I told her that it wasn't cold enough to snow, as it had been trying to rain most of that morning. Yet she instisted it would (snow).

Around 3PM I went and picked up another child from school, she told me also that it was going to snow, because "My teacher said so" I wondered if her teacher was the weather gal from another Tv station. Whatever.

Later on around 8 that night, I heard the wind picking up while I was trying to sleep, I rolled over and slept, I woke up around 6 AM that day and said to myself, "Well I'll be , everybody was right, YaY, I also bet that there isn't any school as the snow was still coming down. In my town the school was closed ALL that week. I didn't mind as I remember back from 1997 that there was an October blizzard or somthing such as that.

I remember people trying to snow blow driveways and shovel themselves out. I hard a hard time getting around in my car WITHOUT 4 Wheel drive, but I took it SO slow, I didn't get stuck or in an accident.

I think we need some snow like that again.

sincerly, Rainman
