Wow, what a crazy weekend we had here at the beach. There was the usual marathon scheduled as well as a few mini marathons and Fun Runs....I did none of those as that would be crazy with two kids. However, I did plan to bring my toddler out to see fire engines, police cars, face painters, and a petting zoo on Saturday afternoon after I met with my long-term sub. Well it took longer than expected to find out all about my classroom blowing up with attitudes, lack of medicine, and meaness and how to have her combat that like Rocky before I return. Then as we finished up, the clouds became ominous and black like panthers. As I hopped into my car, I noticed that they were about to open up and open up they did. I drove home through a monsoon like storm only to be stuck inside yet again. It was going to be an afternoon of indoor fun like usual for my poor kiddos. the day went on and we hung out, stuck inside like prisoners to the weather, and made the best of it. Eventually though, it was time to put the kiddos to sleep and relax with the family as our time was coming to an end. Then we looked out to see night fall upon us. With night, came more rain and suddenly large snowflakes. The weather had predicted possible snow flurries with no accumulation. Well that was obviously as incorrect as they come because today I am hiding indoors as it is 27 degrees outside and the snow is still sitting in my yard. I really enjoyed playing in the snow while it was falling and then taking my toddler out to hear the crunch under his feet, but that was about it for me. After 10 minutes of running around like a mad man in a blanket of white, the poor kid was hacking up a lung and it was time to cart his behind inside. He wasn't having it though and threw a tantrum kicking and screaming. I hurdled through that tantrum like a running back taking the ball and being knocked down by big, burly, men running full speed at me. I tossed the kiddo like a football into my arms and ran into my goal-inside where the heat was turned up and the couches were so I could take off my thousands of warm layers. Next time, daddy will have to take him out to see it because simply put, bringing him in is heart-breaking.
