Snow Anxiety

Well, I'm sitting here at work wondering if mother nature is about to strike us with winter weather yet again. Concern is being express across countless news channels about whether or not people should leave work early, get groceries, or even get gasoline. I am sitting in my chair right now thinking, "I don't have any gas!" I will probably run and get some the minute I leave work and I'm sure the gas station will be packed. People go bananas when the threat of bad weather is looming. On that note, most of them can not drive when the roads are remotely slick not to mention dangerous. This is why I stay home when it is icy or snowy outside. I'm not going to brave having a wreck because some idiot refuses to slow their roll and pay attention to the black ice and is pretty much invisible. It's very nerve wracking to even have to be out on it and then here comes a stupid moron that wants to go seventy down the highway. These are the same people who can't seem to understand why they have such a bad reputation with their insurance companies. If those people weren't bad enough, I think the people that are too afraid to drive normal are the really dangerous ones. Those of you who like to drive forty when approaching a hill or a bridge and then slam on the brakes, all I've got to say is, "What's up with that?" I'm not saying that I'm the greatest driver especially on ice, but I am very careful and keep a close eye out for things like ice and snow. Mostly I just stay home though. Again, all of this worry may be for absolutely nothing. It may be just like the rest of the times where all the weather men and women get us all worked up for no apparent reason and then say, "Ooops" it just blew right over us and there was no need for panic. Everyone makes a mental groan when we see it coming due to the difficulty it causes to get to our jobs and kids to schools. Remember when we were all younger and were so excited about getting to stay home from school because it snowed? Yeah, those days have come and gone. I despise bad weather, especially ice and snow. All of this makes me yearn for the summer sun and days at the pool. ( We miss you Jimmy Buffett!) Nothing is more relaxing than getting into the water, getting on the float, drinking my adult beverage, and just slowing spending my day tanning in the warmth of summer. Ah, and I'm there in a daydream right now..... So on my way home this afternoon I will be thinking about how good summer weather is and how much this stinks to be worried about some dang snow and ice.
On a more positive note, Grey started rolling over this weekend!!!! Our boy is getting so big. With help from Mom, he learned how to place his arm where he can actually roll all the way over. We didn't think he could do it without help until yesterday. His mommy was changing his diaper and turned around to get something and while she wasn't looking, he rolled off the new diaper onto his stomach. She was so surprised and excited and so were we. Until next time, stay warm everyone and be safe. Don't drive like idiots.
