Snowed In

In the state of South Carolina we panic easily at the sight of a single flake of snow. The bread aisles are raided leaving nary a crumb and the coolers once filled with milk are left without a drop. It does not take much to make us shut down our schools and businesses, but today was definite cause for our state to shut down. The news stations reporting around 1,500 closings and the governor declaring a state of emergency allowed many people a day off. Of course, when your job is at home, there is never a day off.

It started snowing here shortly after we all got up and starting sticking to the roads immediately. Luckily, family had arrived safe and sound before the worst of it hit and we spent most of the day inside watching recaps of the Olympics (my client has decided she wants to be a professional figure skater) and news reports of reporters standing in the snow telling us that it was snowing (because we were truly confused as to what that white stuff was).

Of course, my little client had to make snow angels and sled, but it was even too cold for her to last too long and she only ever asked to go out once! I even tried my hand at snow cream and it was quit delicious. My client had two helping of the sugary substance (which, as bed time approaches, has still not run out of her hyper little system). She had a lot of fun playing inside, too, and even spent some of the afternoon practicing writing letter "A's". She actually did a good job and my mommy heart swelled with pride. Clearly my child is an undiscovered genius!

Right now we are all inside praying the power stays on and trying our best to make plans for getting to the hospital tomorrow to bring my second little client into the world. *Sigh* Just try to never have a February baby!
