Despite what the calendar officially says, winter is here in the burbs. We have had snow, sleet, freezing rain, and low low temps. Charles stayed home from work last Monday because after 30 minutes of driving he was not quite 10 minutes away from our house! (Slow-moving traffic, not bad weather. Although I suspect the storm from the night before did slow the traffic down!)
The three boys "helped" me shovel on Monday, but when I shoveled on Thursday, I was on my own. This morning when Jon went out the front door to catch the bus, the front porch and the sidewalk were sheer ice. He had a spectacular slip and fall. Ben followed him in the same fashion a few minutes later. I felt so bad for them both! I made sure to throw salt out later in the day, although by then it had mostly melted.
