But if it's -10 at 6am and supposed to be 6 above by noon, not a chance.
That's practically BALMY! The school would be a weenie to cancel now...
I took advantage of the 2 hour delay and took Meri to see the doctor. Our "doctor" is actually a PA, but she's wonderful and we call her Doctor Mary. Turns out MY Meri didn't kick whatever it was last month and one ear is infected and the other is showing signs of an allergy.
Not sure what she's allergic to. Maybe a dog. I wonder which one... I hope it's not my cooking!
I let her drive on the way there and back. It's a 20 minute drive each way with no real traffic. Doc Mary is a small town doctor and it's easy to get in! Did I mention we love her?
I should probably put her on my Christmas letter list...
Being that it was so cold this morning, the car wouldn't go more than 15 miles to hour... I finally had her pull over and stop the engine and restart. Nothing like a good reboot! That did the trick and finally we were making tracks! She learned how to use the cruise control. As it was we were 10 minutes late to the appointment.
But now we have stronger (seems like horse pill) meds for Meri and with any luck she will kick this quickly without need for a tonsillectomy...
Tomorrow it's going to be 40 degrees!! No wonder so many kids are sick at school! No one knows how to dress for this crazy weather...

This is our 8th snowday with it sounding like we won't have school tomorrow AND with the snow headed our way, it might be a no go on Monday. Others are complaining about it but no me. I LOVE snowdays!
We are about to get hit with a "winter storm" and there is talk of out company closing if driving conditions are too hazardous. It won't affect me, since I am off already. I feel for Meri. I was on 10 days of antibiotics and finished last Saturday. I am sick again. I think the sinus infection did not get kicked the last round, so I called my dr for another round. If she wants to see me, it is okay...I can go tomorrow. Hope Meri feels better soon!
Poor Meri. I hate when you just can't kick a cold.
