No More Snow!

It was supposed to be zero to three inches and on Sunday night when it was time to hit the bed, I told my kids I didn’t believe the snow that was gently falling would stick, at the very worst we may have a delayed start in the morning. Little did I know… as we woke up into Monday morning the world was covered in white. Six, seven, eight, nine inches depending on whom was measuring and where. Schools were closed, work places were closed, and I was taking a deeper look into my planner over my coffee. An hour later I had canceled every single one of my appointments and meetings, not that I would have had anyone to meet with if I had braved my way out of the house.

I’ll have to admit that Monday was fun. We played in the snow and went for a long walk to our nearby Starbucks. I called ahead of time to make sure it didn’t bribe my offspring with hot chocolate and cake pops for nothing. We watched a Harry Potter movie together and certainly made the most of our sudden freedom.

Tuesday was okay. I had a way busier day planned but one by one everything got canceled by Monday night and when school announced another snow day, I really wasn’t surprised. It was sort of a rinse and repeat from Monday with being outside and watching movies, except for going sledding instead of walking for hot chocolate. I sat at my computer for a few hours working and hubs was sitting at his laptop working the day away. I told the kids to get bored when they asked for their iPads, I even cited an article on the importance of being bored. They were not convinced to put it nicely.

But today. Today is Wednesday and I had a super exciting event in Bellevue this morning and I couldn’t get there. All roads leading down from our hill were at a standstill and no one was moving anywhere, and to my huge disappointment I had to turn the big green truck around and return home. Instead of watching our new brand image being launched at Bellevue Hilton, I took my filming equipment and went outside to film a new video to post on my YouTube channel. I walked my kids to school and returned to my computer with a cup of coffee working on emails, listings and marketing stuff. It was a nice, slow day but I really did want to be somewhere else.

They say there’ll be more snow on Friday. I’m done with snow for now. I have a busy weekend scheduled with several clients, looking at homes from Auburn to Marysville. I don’t want to be stuck at home and go sledding. Please, no more snow.
