Yep. It snowed again. This week, however, it started last night, so the plows and salt trucks were out overnight. And the school district called a 2 hour delayed opening. The roads were better this morning than last week when they didn't delay, but that's ok. I got the call at 5:30, got up and told JC, turned off Rachel's alarm, and went back to bed. I was GOING to post about how I love the new(ish) alert system that robo calls everyone, except for the fact that I get 3 calls (one for each school), but I only got one call! Perfect!
William said it was the best school day ever - I let him play video games this morning. And it just so happens to be Rachel's birthday, so she was PUMPED that she got a delay today. Even though, get this, she was up BEFORE her usual time. ??? I turned off her alarm, but apparently I wake her up when I call William every morning, so by the time she gets back to sleep, she's really asleep when her alarm goes off and that's why she's so sluggish every morning.
Riiiiiiiiight...
So I have shoveled half the driveway - couldn't get the snowblower to start, and it was only <2" of snow. I'm saving the other half for JC when he gets home from school. And I've already cleared off my car, and I got an hour and a half of extra sleep! Life is good!
But I have to get the snowblower figured out - they're predicting a BIG storm for this weekend, and John will be out of town.

It's my daughter's birthday today, too. She popped right up out of bed, excited to go to school and have her class sing to her. Ah the joy of turning 7.
Hope Rachel has a great day.
The trick for most small engines is don't try to start it the way they tell you to. Instead do this: Set the choke (if applicable), prime (if applicable), set the throttle to fast or start, and pull the cord slowly twice (you aren't trying to start it), back the throttle off a little, then pull to start. Most engines start much better this way.
I agree with Rachel. If I get right up the first time I wake up, then I feel better, but if I go back to sleep and then get woken up a little later, it's much more disorienting. Maybe she should just get up with William! Not sure she'd like that solution though...
