Anticipation

Since Thursday, we’ve been hearing that snow is on the way for today. JD and the MoonPie decided the thought of it was too frightening for them to venture outside, so while I went to church, they huddled around the fireplace in their pajamas. Hello? That’s MY job. Finally, at 8 p.m. the schools announced we’d be closed tomorrow. We haven’t seen the first flurry yet, but that’s beside the point. The point is that about 12 years ago an ice storm came through and took everyone by surprise and we can NEVER let that happen again. The grocery stores still had milk!

AmmoGuy came by to get a 4-wheel drive truck in case the roads are bad. Yes, we have random vehicles stored around the house. He could have also taken an old Cadillac, a tow-truck, and a vintage Econoline Van/Truck if he wanted. Those are just the GOOD ones.

Because my brother had brought his daughter RimFire with him, AND both her and MP’s schools are closed, we invited her to spend the night. My mean brother said NO for some stupid reason, like that he wanted to spend the day with RimFire, blah, blah, BLAH. The girls took a stand and handcuffed themselves to a piece of furniture. Unfortunately they weren’t REAL handcuffs and JD was able to separate them. Really, girls. You’re going to have to step it up.

Speaking of the girls, is it really necessary for me to use these stupid names for people? RimFire, MoonPie, AmmoGuy, JD? Can’t I just call them by their real names, Cheryl, Louise, Hot Meat and Johnnie Depp?  Seriously, it’s getting hard to remember who’s who.
