This morning we woke up to 6 inches of fluffy white snow. I had mixed feelings about the whole affair as I had a filing deadline to meet at the Court of Appeals and was afraid I was going to have to drive to Raleigh. Luckily Rule 26 of the NC Rules of Appellate Procedure saved me. Apparently the document is deemed filed the day it is mailed...whew! Anyhow, all court proceedings in Lee County were closed. So was daycare. That means SNOW DAY! Although, when you're self employed, snow days aren't quite as fun. Images of dollar bills blowing away through the wintery landscape cloud the fun. Our day has gone something like this. Joseph: 5:50 am wake up call. 6:00 am: Feed Joseph, frantically call the Court of Appeals, hoping it's closed. 8:30 am: Our neighbor, Helen, comes to watch Joseph while Drew and I go to the office, gather my documents, and go to the post office to mail them. 10:00am: I get a long winter's nap while there is what I assume was some video gaming going on downstairs. 1:30: Joseph goes to sleep. We put him right under the window in the living room so we can go play and peek in on him every few minutes from outide. We didn't get much sledding in, but lots of throwing snow. Drew made a snowman. Joseph woke up and we took him outside in his new coat/hat/mittens. Now Drew and Joseph are sacked out on the couch. We're expecting a hard freeze tonight, so we'll see what tomorrow brings.
