Date with Dateline in the works?
Check!
My how times have changed over the years:)
The Hubs has to work super early tomorrow morning, so he is already out for the count…which only means one thing: I get the TV/computer to myself without feeling guilty!!!
Not that I'm excited about that or anything.
Seriously, The Hubs and I have created a Friday night ritual over the past year where we use Friday nights to wind down from the week with some kind of take out, lounging on the couch and watching some sort of Dateline or 20/20 show.
Nothing says date night like watching a TV news show about how a husband (almost) got away with his wife's murder.
Good times.
Tonight, Sugar, who usually spends Friday nights with Grandma and Pop, decided to forgo non-stop Disney and Nickelodeon and slum with me at our no-cable-no-satellite abode.
She's currently torturing me with Spy Kids 3, which I thought I would never have to watch again once Sass grew out of her "I-want-to-be-a-spy" stage.
Thank you, Netflix, thank you.
Anywho, this has been a strange week.
Starting with SNOW on Tuesday night…that resulted in a snow day (no school/work) on Wednesday.
It was wonderful! All 1/2 inch of it! My in-laws in Minnesota probably think I'm crazy, but when you only get the white stuff once every couple of years, you act the fool over it!
And, yes, we probably could have gone to school that day. I saw all the griping on FB about how silly it was to cancel school for 1/2 an inch of snow, but, take into consideration that people here aren't used to driving in these conditions. God forbid a school bus or high schooler crash on their way to school because of the road conditions….then there would be griping about why school hadn't been canceled!
You know who you are;)
Plus, as I mentioned above, this happens so infrequently, give us our hour to shine…our time to wear ill-equipped clothing and hand-me-down ski-bibs.
Our time to make snow cream, snow angels and memories of something that will only happen a handful of times in a Southern kids childhood.
