theBig Storm....enough Already!

[susanr613]

I read online today that there's a big storm that is basically stretched vertically across the country sweeping through. It supposedly has not hit Chicagoland yet, although you couldn't tell. Except yesterday, it's been cold and rainy. I am sick of it!

DS can't even start Little League this weekend bec the fields are hardly greened and sopping wet. Every time I walk the dogs, I have to bundle up like it's still winter, and the the little one dries herself off by rolling around on my couch while I'm still taking the greyhound's coat off!

It makes me want to bake, cook, and eat, eat eat....while doing weight watchers.

OK, enough venting. I hope that whomever is located north and west of me is dry and safe!

I know, isn't this weather MISERABLE!! I've been running around in it all day and would REALLY like to skip taking DS to taekwondo tonight. I have SOOOOO much to do and DH usually takes him but won't be home tonight.

hey neighbor! i'd rather be running around in geneva than streamwood. I love third street (?) where the little traveler is and that great ice cream place.

Yep, that's Third Street. I love it too. Not on a day like today, though! We can actually walk to downtown Geneva from our house if we're up for a longer walk. I love it in the summer! Especially Grahams (the ice cream place).

Oooh wow, that's freaky! I'm going to save that in my Favorites because I always try to search for good radar loops when it's a big storm. Wow, I feel bad for those of you in MN and WI. That looks nasty. I heard there were a bunch of tornadoes down south.

I hope everyone is safe!!

Actually I'll be at a Red Cross Instructor Trainer course in Pewaukee Friday night - kids and us staying at brother's house in Menomonee Falls.Saturday all day we'll be in class again. Saturday night we're going to Racine to visit my mom, DH's mom and dad, and sister and the nieces and nephews there.Sunday - church in Racine then back home....and don't know about you guys but we have really odd winds right now. I'll probably lose internet connectivity tonight - don't think the satellite will hold out through this.

You'll practically be driving past my house. Wave .

Thanks - will do - although the kids will think I'm nuts!
Yeah, I'm staying my brother's house you stopped by that day.

 

[dianevill]

I'm right between his house and Pewaukee, so you will be close.

If your kids are like mine, they already think you're nuts. ALL moms are nuts ya know!

Wow glad I am not in that storm its supposed to be in the 60's on Sat thank goodness for that we have baseball starting that day

The weather is so bizzarre here. We just had some lightning and thunder to go along with our snow storm here in the Twin Cities. We are supposed to get several inches of snow tonight and possibly 4-6 inches tomorrow. It is supposed to keep on snowing right through to Saturday morning.

Hope everyone experiencing this same weather is home safe and sound.

Wow I don't even you guys that have storms and snow! I am in Central Arkansas and we have had some severe weather for the past 2 weeks~ Tornadoes and lots and lots of rain. Northern Arkansas is flooded. We had tornadoes last Thursday about 1 mile from my house and then again today. I babysat for a friend of mine today at her house and they had them there too. I have a 15 month old little girl and then had her 3 boys!! 4, 3, and 18 months so 4 kids under 4. Imagine how hectic it was getting them all in the closet during the tornadoes! Thank God it passed us and everything was fine. I am sick of this weather and ready for some sunshine!

 

[oliviasmommy07]

[lacychef]

I'm sick of the rain here too; but it's better than snow! Dd's soccer has been cancelled all week; it's been too chilly here too, only around 45-50. I am SO ready for spring! Hopefully we'll get a spring, & not go straight into summer.

 

[etteluap70PC]

[janetupnorth]

Hopefully people will still come because it is something indoors. Make the best of it - good luck!
