....going to Florida ..FOR THE WEEKEND!! I am a crazy woman!!


meeting my son and his family at Disneyworld, going with dil's mom


we leave Fri, come back Mon...they come back Wed


I must be insane..


and we are having a winter storm warning


ds and family got out yesterday before it started, schools closed today


but it should be gone by the time we have to fly out tomorrow evening


I subbed yesterday


and Mon and Tues tutored the man from Argentina in English


the road to those offices was awful, slippery, I had to park at the bottom of a hill after sliding backwards and walk up..in the dark..and back later..so the 2nd night I brought a lantern!


Tues I took the dgds to "mommy and me" class(so dil and ds could do more prep for their trip)..very cute...upon getting out of the car I found 3 credit cards in the snow, belonging to husband of one of the "mommies", owner of the building..they were QUITE appreciative when I brought them in...


then the dgds and I had some "quality time" here before ds picked them up


well, I got the tree up on Sun, most of the cards sent and half the presents wrapped...wanted to do as much as I could before the trip


hope this finds you all well


hugs

Considering the weather, I hope you aren't spending your weekend on the floor of some airport!

yes, it was scary


really absurd when you think about it..that I have to bring a lantern??!!


but the $$$ is worth it!


I only have to worry about the deer, passed an entire herd on the way there!


but slipping backwards down the hill was scary!


thanks for bon voyage wishes!


hope the snow storm is over!
