What day is it?

I keep hearing it is March 31, but the weather outside is frightning!
SNOW SNOW SNOW!
Don't get me wrong, I love winter and downhill skiing, but what good does all this snow do when the slopes are closed? At first I was thinking all the snow advisories were just a very well coordinated April Fools joke - I guess not. I wonder a what a snow day on April Fools day would be like? Me at home trying to knit or read and my kids planning & pulling pranks all day long on me - or worse yet, each other (I can just hear the fighting!).

Well, I guess I hope that they go to school tomorrow. It is my normal day off, and I truly appreciate the peace and quiet. Plus I have a few errands to run, so I don't want to be tethered by them.

Change of subject (my husband wishes I would say that aloud often in our conversations so he can follow along easier). Took Mocha (new puppy - see earlier posts) for a walk yesterday. I am so impressed! Not to brag, but she is training up really nicely.

Confession: Gunnar's room was completed as far as painting during my break, but his furniture is still not back in place and the wall stickies aren't up. Still some work remaining.

I guess this isn't too bad because I only have 6 UFO's, One only needs buttons and another is hibernating. I am trying to just finish projects this month, but I know I am going to break down and buy something during the April 4 Yarn Tasting at Amazing Threads. I also have this really strong desire to start up a couple of different socks.

Oh great yarn stash - keep me from adding to you this month! Anyone out there can help try to keep me accountable.

MORE SNOW!

Today I'm not complaining - don't really have any reason to leave the house. Plus the white is really beautiful.

Well, the tax man was an answer to prayer. I will get to pay off a few bills that got ahead of me. Today is the 2nd to last day of my vacation. Things on the list for today:
  • clean main floor
  • prepare for company tonight
  • finish G's room
  • finish laundry
  • finish Bear Binkie knitting
  • read
  • prepare for Easter morning
  • pay bills if time (other wise moves to Sunday)
Not bad, I think with the families help, today will go smooth and allow us all time to relax.

Since I have no control over the weather anyway:
LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW!
