Ice Day #2

So, we had another "ice day" or "snow day" or whatever you want to call it down here in Knoxville, Tennessee.  The roads that I take to school really do get bad when we have this weather, same that we had last winter, and I only live five miles away from school!  I didn't really think we were going to get such a bad effect from these nasty winter storms, but we're definitely in the middle of it!  You know it's not good when Tennessee is the focus of attention on the Weather Channel all morning when talking about the winter storms!

 So, since Day Care has been closed all week, too, I've been at home entertaining Reagan, while sneaking in my own food, using the bathroom, taking a shower, finishing grading, REVISING my lesson planning constantly and taking Hank out to walk and feeding him, all in the always unpredictable nap time that Reagan takes throughout the day. Don't get me wrong... it's been wonderful spending time with her and David on his two days off this week, but I sure hope we get reimbursed for the $217 check that I wrote for her day care on Sunday night before we knew all of this was going to happen!

 Part of my SECRET PLAN is to entertain Reagan and wear her out a little bit by constantly changing her outfits and doing photo shoots so that she'll take her routine naps!  Therefore, we've been using some new outfits lately!

David and Uncle Tyler even took Regs to Fairways & Greens yesterday to give me a few hours break to, again, shower, eat, use the bathroom, grade, lesson plan and take care of Hank.  They gave Reagan her first putting lesson!  Except, that Reagan used her hands to throw the ball into the hole instead of the putter.

Today was officially "Ice Day #2" and who knows what the schedule is for the rest of this week.

Judging her expression in the picture below, Reagan looks like she's missing her day care friends!

Or, maybe not so much!  She's probably not going to miss all of these outfit changes and photo shoots by Mommy from this week at home!  It wears her out!  (But, again, that's part of my secret plan... ;)

Tennessee was very much talked about on the Weather Channel the past few days....

See?!?!  Nap time already after all that changing into cute outfits and taking pictures!  Now I can take Hank out in the snow because I don't know if we'll make it out safely later today!

The snow plow came two nights ago, but I think we're going to need it again tonight!

Hank and I admire the snow coming down fast and take a #selfie together.

Princess Reagan sleeps peacefully while the winter wonderland forms outside in Tennessee.  Just wait until the extreme summer heat comes, and then she'll be confused about what kind of weather is considered "normal" for Tennessee!

I got this text message early this afternoon... not looking good.  Or, is it, if we want to spend more time home with Regs?!   We've already got enough groceries to keep us well-fed for the next week.  I even stopped at the Kroger grocery story with Reagan on the way home from Day Care when they told us it was cancelled, and NO ONE was in the store... easy shopping!
