Scarred For Life

Once again the first two days back to school after winter break have been cancelled due to snow and extreme cold. (It currently feels like -18 degrees outside. Nice.)

Lance has wisely forgone this winter madness and is nice and warm at CES in Las Vegas. I'm totally kicking myself for not taking him up on his offer to take me. (No I'm not - Vegas just doesn't do it for me, even if it will be SEVENTY degrees warmer there today.))

Lance being gone meant I had to do all the snow removal. Which was fine by me, because I like shoveling and snowblowing the snow! And it was super soft and powdery, so it was an easy task. I came back in and got all unbundled, only to have Tess, Cole, and Josh demand to go out. So I got them all bundled up - what a process - and sent them on their way. Tess lasted about 10 minutes, Cole a good 30, and Josh won by staying outside for well over an hour!

I didn't have my snow gear on so I couldn't go tromping out in the deep (6") stuff with the boys and only got a couple of shots of Tess.

Classic pouting Tess.


Ornery "I Refuse to Smile" Tess.


And where is Spencer during all of this fun? On the computer, of course. The boy's an addict, but it's hard for me to force him off when he has 0% body fat and it's so dang cold outside.

Speaking of Spencer and computers... last night I thought I was sending a flirty little IM message to Lance but accidentally sent it to Spencer.

Me: Hiya, sexy!
Spencer: ummm???
Me (in my head): AAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
Me (online): Ooops. SOOOORRRY Spencer! That was meant for your dad! Don't be scarred for life!
Spencer: Okay.

Nice. After all the talks we've had about online predators, and it turns out his first one was his mother.  MOTHER OF THE YEAR right over here, people.

It's gonna be a long winter.
