I think snow is beautiful. I know it's not the most popular thing...but, as my commute to work is 3 miles long, it's not changing my world much {oh no, my 5 minute commute is 7}. I'm sure I would feel differently if I were driving further to work. But I'm not. And I love snow. This was Tuesday, November 12 {JB's 15 & 1/2 b-day ~ also staff meeting & parent-teacher conference day...who schedules these things that way? ~ well, I know who...} I consider this our first snow ~ as it's still in a few places {like the back stairs, since I didn't shovel} Our yard is still full of leaves, so this weekend {when it's supposed to be close to 70} will be full of moving wet leaves...yuck.
It sure is pretty.
And here's our 15 & 1/2 year old {+2 days} Finally got away from work...really. Conferences & a training back to back days! I've NEVER had an evening training before...but this week, when Mike's out of town & JB can get those temps...he has to wait. But today was the day. He passed & I spent the $22 and he even drove to pick up our celebratory dinner from Jade Garden. Took the 'back roads' as I didn't want him on route 20 yet. He's really cautious & has just the right amount of fear. I didn't yell...REALLY I didn't yell. I'd tell him what to do & if he did it not quite right he was all like, "I'm sorry..." I think he's going to be just fine behind that wheel.
and that's his new varsity jacket. This has been a week of real lows & real highs for this kid. But the lows are his to share, not his mother's. I'm just really proud of him.
Speaking of being proud. Patrick girlfriend went to UC for a college visit today. They took down a care package from me & stuff from them too. The gf's mom said he looked real good & she thinks he's taller. It just warmed my heart to have someone love on my kid for me. I miss having him around.
