Snowed In!

I've always wondered what it would be like to be snowed in. No work, really no responsibility outside of staying in the house. Well Monday morning we awoke to 6 inches of snow, covered with a nice layer of thin ice, and Atlanta has come to a standstill.

Did we know the storm was coming? Yes. But did we really think we'd be trapped? Absolutely not. So no shipping for Baby Fans (keeping all staff safe) and no commute downtown for me.

I have not worked on the floor since I passed my 12 week mark, so it is bitter sweet this week. No, I don't HAVE to be there so I can stay home and safe. But on the other hand, I love being able to help out, and hate that I couldn't assist in the staffing nightmare it becomes with adverse weather conditions.

So day one consisted of watching a movie on Roku, cleaning out the fridge, and making a quick trip to a neighbors house. The trip may have not been the best idea, as we barely got the car moving out of the ice and snow when we decided to leave. Then it was home, and a visit from Paula, J and D to watch the national championship game. (Congrats Auburn!)

Today, Todd has ventured to Kroger in Paula's Toureg (only 4 wheel drive we know) to get some necessities. We should reach a balmy 34 today, and are hoping some of the ice/snow will start to melt enough to get the cars out of the garage. Realistically, we probably won't be fully mobile until Saturday.

I am 18 weeks today, so that is something fun to celebrate here at the cabin. And of course, now that we are limited to resources, a McDonald's milk shake and fries sure does sound good! Guess we'll have to thaw out for that to happen.

I'm including a couple of pictures of Buddy and his friend Leeka "enjoying" the snow. Buddy's not so sure about it, but Leeka wants to spend hours outside. We continue to coax her into the house so the poor little girl dosen't freeze to death! Enjoy!
