Snow Day

Filed Under Home Sweet Home, Nanny Job | 3 Comments

Bah. I am trapped in my house. I didn’t have huge plans today, but I was going to go to lunch with my pregnant friend Sarah and run a few errands.

I got out of bed about 9:30 today because my mom called. She said something like, “I hope you don’t think you’re going anywhere in this weather. This isn’t safe for you OR the baby!” And there is no point in arguing with mom. So I told her I would cancel my plans.

I talked to Jonathon, and he is planning to leave work around 1:00. Sometimes I have to kind of remind him in situations like this, or he will get caught up in work and never leave.

Then I looked outside and there is already some ice accumulating on our deck and our yard looks just plain gloomy.

I attempted to take a close-up of the little icicles starting to form on our deck railings.

I started to take a picture of our backyard and realized there is something interesting in the background. Check out the house behind ours. Their back door is open. These people leave that door open in any kind of weather. Wouldn’t you think having your door open a foot or two would really run up your gas bill, especially when it it so cold outside that it’s icing???
