just wait five minutes...it'll change? Ya know...we've lived in Montana, Texas, Colorado..and now, Iowa. EVERY place we've lived..the people love that phrase. I will say, however..that within FIVE minutes this morning....it finally rang true! (Geoff and I are always bugged, severely by this expression...just find it annoying to some degree) Anyways..weatherman "Schnackenberg" (yes....it IS his real name..I didn't make that up!) predicted rain today....although we just had about five inches of snow in the night. Being the conscious home owner that I am...coupled with the fact that we missed the little "window" of shoveling opportunity LAST time we had a big rain/ice storm predicted..I got my little hiney out about 6 before the kiddos were too roused to shovel! (G had already left for work about an hour prior..poor guy) anyways...I'm shoveling along like a regular person..when it started to THUNDER/LIGHTNING..and rain on me!!! about two minutes later...it hailed!!! True story.
and now..I'm getting old...because I'm a little too obsessed with weather.

Girl, I'm with you! This Iowa weather is insane (being from another state, we have the right to be as cruel and judgmental about weather as we want!) But we didn't have the THUNDER - that would freak me out!
Loved your comment today about the goofy family traditions...that was what I wanted to hear about! Not cute, meaning-filled ones!!!! OUr husbands are of a similar mold and I'm thankful! It's never boring!
Happy Monday, friend!
oh....and it's the LONGEST Monday ever!! When oh when will the sickness pass from our household??? (Reagan has "the" diarrhea) grrr...I'm supposed to be cleaning..but nothing's getting done. (yes..so I AM on the computer...!:) oops! I"m going now!
Ahh, a true sign of old age... that obsession with weather. :-) Too funny. How yucky to be out there at 6 am shoveling. I would have put the shovel down and figured that the rain would melt the snow and wash it away:???? Wishful thinking. ... You're true test of being old is if you care what the weather was here today.
actually, Christie...if the weather channel is showing me the weather in other places...like when they scroll through the other cities...I DO pay attention to the ones where I have some "people". yikes!!!
I think you get the "best woman of the week" award for being outside shoveling at 6 AM! You go, girl!
