I can't contain my excitement!!! I am impatiently waiting for this blizzard to start! I can't stop looking out the window. I hope that this storm is everything they say it is going to be. Well, minus the power outages. I like electricity. My husband is home early, my son was let out 25 minutes early and we are going to be having a hibernation day!
I have been doing laundry today (I do it everyday but I have been really doing it today), just in case the power goes out. I am going to vacuum, just in case. I actually love to vacuum and it makes me feel like my house is cleaner than it actually is. We've already shoveled twice today so that the dig out tomorrow won't be as bad, but I am sure that the few inches that we have cleared won't really diminish the amount of time that it is going to take to dig out tomorrow. I want to make banana bread and cookies, just in case. I want to share a meal with our best friends and laugh at the outrageousness of the meteorologists, just because we are all home with no other plans. I love these hibernation days that God is forcing upon us. It makes us slow down, for even just one day, and enjoy the world around us. It makes us spend the quality time with each other that we wouldn't normally take the time to do. Our lives were not meant to be lived in at constant hyper-speed, to watch life go by in a blur of images. Maybe these couple of days will remind us of that, remind us what it is like to slow down. Remind us what life was like before our calendars threw up all over us.
