Or is that Camp-out Let-down? The words seem to work either way.
Friday went like this:
- Kids to school
- Worry
- Post to blog
- Worry
- Go to work
- Worry
- Try to work
- Pace office like caged animal
- Sit in meeting for 2 hours and nearly forget to worry while actually working
- Husband calls
- Commence two-times double parental worrying
- Snow starts
- Worry
- Snows more
- Worry more
- Need ketchup packets- DARNIT!
- Worry
- Feed kids home from school- could be last warm meal for two days
- Worry
- Still snowing and we have to leave in 15 minutes
- Phone rings
- Crazy camp-out cancelled due to 14 inches of forecasted snow and unsafe driving
- Overtaken by disbelief while staring at a week's worth of accumulated gear and two boys dressed up like the Stay-Puff Marshmallow Man
- Flop on couch in relief
- A&P back to XBox- I suggest camping on the deck? I am summarily rejected.
- Phone rings- will reschedule! Maybe next weekend?
- More worry, forecasted temperatures well below zero
- Dodging bullet now feels like postponed execution
- Snowed in on Saturday-whole world is cancelled
- Car got stuck retreiving A&P from sledding hill
Disclaimer... the following is not a comment on my state of mind, physical fatigue (where is the freaking %^$&#* plow guy and why doesn't he return phone calls?), mental fatigue and an available bottle of vodka. It's just a drink. And it's all mine...
Whose idea was this anyway?

Oh my gosh...so you have to go thru this all again next weekend? Well, at least this was like a fire drill and you will know what to expect.

Anti-climatic stress soon to be climatic again...oh, dear.
I like that "delayed execution" thing. I've gone through those feelings before!! :o) Maybe you should pray for MORE snow, colder temp's and common sense will rule and they'll cancel again! [lol] ♥ ∞
I like how you think!
