Winter is here!

Winter finally arrived in Iowa. I am actually not a snow hater. Ice - we have a different relationship. Snow is pretty, fluffy, and for short visits, very welcome.

I am lucky because I can work from home with all the access of my desktop (and the added benefits of working in my jammies and enjoying a fire in the fireplace). I decided to exercise this option since my luck is not great right now. No sense in tempting fate!

School started two hours late. We only live a block from school, so no weather truly impedes my kids, but they never turn down a snow day! Right up until the last minute, they eagerly watched the news ticker waiting for a complete close rather than a late start. The winds are supposed to kick in and if we have white out, they might end up home shortly anyway.

Time to warm up my coffee and get back to work. Stay warm, everyone!
