Waiting for Arctic Blast 2008

That's right!

According to rumor, today is the day that Clark County is supposed to get snow. And, while I am getting just a little tired of the local news covering nothing but people slipping on ice 24 hours a day, I'm still excited for snow.

Mainly because snow today means a snow day at home with Zoey tomorrow!

Yesterday was a complete disaster, having to hand her off to the babysitter who arrived 5 minutes late, in a state of total hysteria and panic (Zoey, not the sitter). I knew she wouldn't recover from that, and true to recent form, I was right. After spending 2 hours at work, which put me in a foul mood, and running several errands (including my second trip to the long line at the post office, due to the fact that I had presented the USPS woman an un-addressed box earlier in the morning), I was home JUST in time for her to wake up from her nap. She was delighted to see me, which was sweet, but proceeded to spend the next four hours glued to my hip. (She did take a 20 minute break from my side to jump on the couch, however.) Finally, at 8 p.m., her anxiety level peaked and she had a complete meltdown, crying and clawing for Mommy despite the fact that I was right there next to her.

It was a rough night.

She was awake and crying for me (again) at 4:57 a.m. this morning, and after some hot milk and a snuggle, she was back to sleep. Given that my alarm was set to go off at 5:15, I was up for the day. I am sitting on the couch right now, listening to the news...the snow is coming! The snow is coming!

So, I am looking forward to tomorrow. The thought of spending all day with my daughter, and possibly baking some cookies, makes me happy. It means that all I need to do is survive another crappy day at work today, then go out for an anniversary dinner with my husband (hooray! As of today, we've been married 4 years! I love you, Bryan!), and after that I have some quality time with Zoey coming my way.
