Might be a storm coming!

Supposedly, there is a winter storm coming. Yeah, whatever. This winter has made me rather cynical about winter weather. There was supposed to be snow yesterday, and well, we got a dusting last evening. Now, I do acknowledge that where my parents live, just 30 miles north, they received about two inches. Here though, nothing. We haven't even managed to have a fog delay this year! Anyway, they are calling for not exactly snow this evening, but a freezing rain/wintry mix. Timing is perfect (unless of course, one hopes for a snow day!) to pretty much just stay in tonight and not go anywhere. That is precisely my plan. And what shall we be doing? CLEANING. That's right folks, the children have become quite lazy and complacent in their bedrooms, and we are going to take care of that starting this afternoon when they get home from school. I say starting, because I have a feeling this could take all weekend. No problem, we've pretty much got all weekend with few interruptions. I know the kids are not looking forward to it, and frankly, neither am I. Must be done though, and leaving them to accomplish it on their own CLEARLY doesn't work. HT in particular is a huge challenge. He is going to someday be on that TV show Hoarders...he does not see the reason for trash cans. After all, he never throws anything away! Because of this, I went up and did some prep work while they are still at school. I guarantee he'll never miss the trash that I managed to clear out of his room. Ah, this shall be such a joy this weekend!
