wacky weather

I am barely able to finish the 'happy dance' now that the power is back on as of last night... and whooop here it is... the first snowstorm of the season!  I cannot believe it.  It looks like 6 or more inches have fallen already and it is still snowing hard.  The kids have missed a week of school, and we already got the call for a delayed opening tomorrow, so I dread the 6 am call and pray that school is not cancelled!!!  I am sitting here in my warm house, watching Jerry Maguire (you had me at hello), cozy as can be and I can't help but think about the people who don't have heat or electricity tonight.  I know that people are cold and uncomfortable all around the world all the time, but when a situation hits so close to home, it is truly a wake-up call.  So even though I got a little cranky, ok a little bit more than a little cranky, with the Comcast woman on the phone today about our non-working internet (annoying), and the FIOS installation department who didn't show up to install the replacement internet as scheduled yesterday, I know that deep down, things could be so much worse.  I will kiss my little mifi card and say thank you that I am connected at all.... and I will hope that the weather warms up quickly to melt the snow and warm up the homes that are cold!
