Yeah for ICE!!

Last night I was sitting at home watching the news like most people trying to see what was going to happen with our crazy Texas weather. I looked at my sister and said lets go shopping! So we went. David was griping "your so dumb why would you go out in this?" We went shopping and went and got our nails done. Both place closed early as we left and I was getting a little annoyed with people freaking out about the ice. There was no ice on the road it was just raining at that point. So then we went and bought groceries and then headed home. I tell you the BEST time to go shopping is during the "winter weather." We were the only people at Dots, the only people at the nail place and later on about eleven David and I went to Walmart and there were 5 cars in the parking lot! Thats it 5!! It was great. I did not have any ice on my windows until we had almost made it home around midnight. Call me crazy but I cannot be cooped up!

So I woke up at five and saw that the temperature was 20 degrees! WOW! I went to the MISD website (because the news channels do not report accurate closings according to our district) and saw NO SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!!!! We never close for inclement weather! SO I went back to bed and just woke up. Now though I am a little frustrated. I hate being behind and now we have to make this day up at the end of the year when we are all so tired! Plus, our principal was going to let us wear sweats today ): Now I look outside and see that it is all gone- no more ice. Hmmmmmmmmm......

And the most hilarious thing about all this is that I realize that in some way I am still a kid. I remember watching the news for hours waiting for my school district to show up on the closing list. As an adult, I am no different. I knew school was closed and I still made David leave the TV on until I saw Mesquite Independent School District scroll across the screen and as I did I giggled and clapped. David called me a nerd but I know he was secretly excited for me too!
