Topic: RE: Snow Advisory (Yes, warming UP!!!)
Well, our warm up is gone.  52 degrees on Wed and was a windchill of -12 today.  The wind is terrible.  We are expecing 12 inches of snow Sun and Mon so winter is back!!  LOL 

I'm done with my jury duty.  It was very interesting and I actually enjoyed it.  Besides it was a nice break from work for 2 days.   I was on a criminal trial.  Now I'm swamped at work so it'll be interesting. 

Have fun playing outside!  Can't wait to see pics.

OMG.....it was 52 degrees here today and I was stuck inside!!!!!   I did get a walk on our lunch break though.  Same weather for tomorrow and yep you guessed it I'll be sitting in court again!   I did get put on a jury.  Didn't get time to read the book or magazine I brought with.  

Sadie won't be 5 until the end of Oct so she won't be in kindergarten til the year after.   They have to be 5 by Sept 1st to go.  

Probably won't get a chance to post tomorrow so have a great Thursday!  Hopefully I'll be back in comission soon.  LOL

Michelle,

Well, it has not necessarily warmend up.  But, the wind quit around lunchtime yesterday.  This morning it was -10 below.  BBBBBRRRRRRRRRRRR

As for jury duty...... I got called 2-3 years ago, and I had actually been following the story when the guy was first arrested, and so, when I found out what the case was..... A murder case, I was VERY truthful.  On my paperwork, I wrote "This was not the first time he has been found with a dead body."  For some reason I was not picked??  And, after the trial, suprisingly, he was found guilty.  Gee, I wonder why??!!

Isn't Sadie going into kindergarten this fall?



Have fun at court, hopeyou brought a book or crossword puzzle!!!!

Well, it's been a long time since I've had to crawl out of bed, shower, and get dressed to go somewhere.  I am off to jury duty today.  I'm actually looking forward to it....should be interesting and heck it gives me a break from my job.   Not sure my boss is happy about it though...we're swamped.  I'll probably be working lots of OT next week to make up for it LOL.  They're coming to put our new furnace in too so hubby will be leaving work at 8am to be here for that. 

We had a fun evening last night at Sadie's school.   We didn't have normal class...they had all kinds of large motor toys in the gym for the kids.   So, we spent 1 1/2 hrs playing in the gym.   We realized Sadie still can't peddle a trike.  Ugghhhh   Got some info from some other mom's on another good preschool to think about for next year.   We have to decide soon what we're going to do with her. 

Jamie, I hope it's warmed up a bit for you!  I'll tease you and tell you we're supposed to have a high of like 42 today woohoo!!

All I can say is BRRRRRRRRRRR!!!   We were there last week but today it's almost 40 degrees...the snow is melting!!  I know it won't last but man it feels good!

Happy Valentine's Day!!   Sadie is loving this holiday!  Her and I are home alone.  DH was home for a whole hr and had to go back to work because someone called in and nobody could fill it.  Oh well Sadie and I will make the best of it!  

Keep warm, Jamie!!

Congrats on your raise & bonus, Michelle!!!!!  Yes, July is right around the corner...... 4&1/2 months will be here before you know it!!!!

Got an extremely BUSY/LONG day today & hoping for some rest tomorrow, besides a little housework, anyways, rest is on my list of "to do's".
