Rachel in real life

I could not have guessed:

- that it would snow yesterday. I guess the snow was not exactly the problem.... more the icey roads that more than doubled road time. One second it was beautiful blue skies and the next i am scraping snow off my windshield. I go to pick up the boys from school and in the time that I get gather them up and head back to my car it is covered. It was not even showing when I parked. Wisconsin. I realized I do not have a scraper... I should really get on that so I don't find myself in the uwm parking lot using my fingernails and a coat sleeve. Monday is t.v. night for my friend Katie and I. We pick a place to get dinner and spend the rest of the evening in her basement watching crap t.v. It is actually not depressing like it may sound, I look forward to it every week. This week we had set backs with the snow and only got 1/2 way to Perkins before turning around in fear of missing Jon and Kate plus 8 (God forbid we miss them renew their vows in Hawaii!!) We eat in and dream of a good vacation in a place snow waits until after Thanksgiving...

- that I would be making a break-up mix for my best friend. Best friend even sounds too fleeting. I miss her so much. Even though it breaks my heart to know her pain, I am so relieved and hopeful for her future. I couldn't bare her being with someone that couldn't be her prince. She deserves the prince. 

-that it would be 1:45 in the afternoon and I am still, STILL in my pjs (Alec, "my" 5 year old hates it when I call them that). Procrastinating like always... because there is nothing urgent homework wise. I needed the sleep after the crazy weekend filled with driving (to Indiana back up to Green Bay and then home) and late nights. The Packer game was very Wisconsin. When the packers score a touchdown you high five and hug every(drunken)one you can. I think us four were the only sober people I could see. You pay 6 bucks for a bad cheeseburger and you don't care. Worth it. 

Wisconsin thing of the day: i'll choose one from yesterday since, as I said I don't believe my day has started yet. Yesterday was for sure watching cars trying to go up a small hill and getting stuck due to ice. Cars driving 10 miles an hour over black ice. 

Thanksgiving countdown: 9 days! 

Thanksgiving break countdown: 6 days!
