Well, today I learnt why snow is certainly a pleasure reserved for children. It didn't snow over night so I thought it was my lucky day. But it rained, not ideal but not a danger at least. Then came the snow. I still felt I would be safe, after all it couldn't get too bad in an hour could it? Wrong!!! Walking to the school wasn't too bad but it was all down hill from there. First, I lost my brother. Well, not really lost, just never found him. I went inside to see if they were keeping them in there because of the weather but no, so I went back outside and had a look around, trying not to slip and looking like a terrified seal at the sight of rowdy 10 year old boys with snowballs. Still no sign so I went back in to the safety of the school where I found him coming out of the office. Mother warned him I might forget him so gave him my number to phone me if I did. So not only did my mother not trust me to remember my own little brother, but the school think I'm some awful forgetful sister. Then came the walk home, more near misses than I wish to think about. I was like an old woman grabbing on to my brother to keep me up. Finally got home and just a few houses down there had been a car crash. Now that is some bad snow, and all in just an hour! I won't be underestmating weather again.
Its not just children that love snow though. My dogs react like they have died and are bouncing around on heavenly clouds. They ran straight out the second I opened the door. Corrie so excited she was making lots of yellow snow, Gizmo so retarded he was sniffing it. Not one for games, Gizmo just went for a run around but have you ever played fetch with snowballs? The excitement of having a ball thrown, but then not being able to find it. Or if they do manage to track its flight, then seeing it just vanish before them. Seemingly quite a cruel game but she never stopped wanting to play, hopeful that maybe one of them would survive the landing impact. In all honesty though, I'm quite sick of all this snow we have had this winter, it is just one big slipping hazard and after a couple of pretty snow scenes it just becomes an annoyance.
Other than my adventures in the snow though, it has been a typical Monday. No jobs to apply to. Not really much to do with myself. So I did my exercise and watched some America's Next Top Model. Spent hours trying to come up with an amazing Valentines Day present idea, and failed miserably. I hate to be unprepared so I feel I have this week and next to figure it out. Really struggling though, been together too long now, I've used up all my ace ideas and he has used the others so I can't just copy them. Maybe just a nice box of chocolates for the boyfriend this year, really make him believe that I'm one of those 'Feeder' types trying to fatten him up. Today was meant to be a day for doing my website but with the interruption to my normal schedule by having the little brother meant that I just didn't really find the time to sit down to it. So tonight I'm attempting an early night. I've mastered my fitness regime now, and the whole 'be happy' resolution is (for the time being) going well so my next goal is to manage my sleeping habits. I didn't get to sleep until 2 yesterday. I want to sleep like a normal person. So I'm going to take advantage of my tiredness tonight and tuck up at a reasonable hour to kick-start my sleep well mission.
