Something happened to my layout. It went berserk. I'm not sure I have the energy to even mess with it this week.
Ice storm rolled in. My boss doesn't think it's that bad and said everyone is overreacting. The governor declared a state of emergency for the entire state. But it's not that bad. *rolling eyes with much vigor*
I'm sure it will take me 3 hours to make my 20 minute drive home. Slick roads don't scare me, it's the 10 million idiots that get on the road the minute a droplet of moisture forms.
I will update soon. Promise.

Cold tittays & other details
It's 16 degrees with a windchill of -1. GOOD TIMES! I just love it when my nipples feel like they're going to fall off. For future reference, do not go to work for a company that has a north facing office because you will spend a better part of the winter trying to keep your toes from turning blue and constantly strategically covering your chest area with a folder so no one will notice your rock hard nipples sticking out as far as the eye can see. And the eyes can see. Trust me, there have been enough dirty old men (and a few dirty women, but I'm not complaining about them) in and out of this office to know that their eyes see.
Did I mention that it's cold?
I work for a non-profit and we have 3 locations and an admin office. 2 of our locations will be closing on January 2nd. We will be firing 2 full time staff, 5 part time staff and 1 contract employee. This sucks on so many levels that I can't even express the magnitude of the suckage. In addition to this black cloud, it's possible that the company I work for will no longer pay for 100% of my health insurance premium and I will have to pay for 50%. Although this isn't a deal breaker, I am already paying 100% of my kids health insurance premium. It will cost me an additional $170 per paycheck for insurance. FUCK!
Staff parties, client parties, school parties, dentist appointments....I think I might just drop my basket over the stress. The holidays have never been this stressful for me. At least I have finished shopping. Small relief in my world.
The heat wasn't working in the office for a better part of the day, now? Now I am sweating bullets and my deodorant has failed me. Nothing like going home from a cushy desk job all stinky like I just got through digging a ditch. Awesome.
Lin is sick again. I'm so over the sickness in our house. Thinking about setting off a Lysol bomb and running like hell.
And Molly. God love my little girl. When you ask her what her name is, she says:
*Molly Smith Princess
How Cute is that?
*No, it's not her real name. Thank you and goodnight.

Snowballs chance in hell
I thought I would share this little story. Just to give you a little peek into my world.
I woke up at about 6:15 this morning, the kids were still asleep and Lin was getting ready for work. I turned on the TV to watch the weather because if it was slick outside I wanted warn Lin to please be careful driving to work today honey because I don't want to lose you because you didn't know that it was slick outside and Oh God please heed my warning! I care about her that much. Anyway, I watched the weather then I went in the bedroom to let her know what the weather was doing, it went something like this:
Me: "Hey honey, it's raining out, the main roads are pretty clear but the overpasses and bridges are getting a bit slushy. It's going to warm up a little so it won't be bad later."
Her: *patronizing smile"
Me: "What?"
Her: "Nothing."
Me: "No, what is it?"
Her: "Well, I looked out the window and I could see that the roads were wet so I assumed it was raining."
Me: "Oh."
Her: "I'm not like you, I don't have to compulsively check the weather, I know when it's bad."
Me: "Alright then."
So later when the temperature drops and it starts snowing and she comes home all "Wow, its snowing, I didn't know it was going to snow." I'll be all "Pffftt, if you hadn't dismissed me this morning because you were too smart to listen to what I had to say you would have known that it was going to snow. But noooooooooo, you looked out the window instead. Who's the suckah now biotch?"
Then I will spike the ball and do the chicken dance.
