Snow!

 We are having the great southern blizzard of 2011 right now!! The snow has been coming down in big beautiful flakes since around 830pm this evening and, if all weather models are right, won't be stopping until tomorrow morning! We are looking at 6-10 inches!! That is like an unheard number for Alabama, it's caused insanity in the southern people! They have pretty good reason, the south is not equiped to handle the snow like northern states are, where it snows often. Down here they don't have city snow plows to clear roads, or salt trucks to prep roads. Here we have road clousures, sanded roads, and stores sold out of bread/milk/eggs/ramen/frozen pizza/ and sugar(?) Like any good 'southern' I have my house stocked with food and supplies for this snow-in, and I am uber excited about the falling white stuff!
 Now we had snow back on Christmas day, a good lot of it too. I know Ladybug enjoys the snow a ton, Mister screamed his head off when he touched it. I am excited for my kids to wake up and see everything. Ladybug was working on snow angels in the living room earlier! I am excited to see how much we actually get, I am excited to remember winters growing up in Ohio! I have not had a white winter since I moved and got married 5 years ago, so this is exactly perfect in my eyes!
 I am staying awake to 1.) watching the snow fall 2.) finish laundry I just started after Christmas break 3.) facebooking 4,) waiting for word from The Marine if he is coming home tonight (somebody got the duty van stuck coming back from Ft. Campbell....) and I don't think The Marine is coming home tonight. I really should get sleep, as I will pay for it tomorrow (pretty sure the kids have this sense to know when mommy hasn't slept and take advantage) but I just cannot stop looking outside at all the snow!!!
