This, I fear, is “one of those mornings.” You know what I’m talking about. The sort where you wish you had just had the good sense to stay in bed. And this, I will share with you, is why:

1. I feel like :shit. This cold has been brewing for days and this morning it decided to make a grand entrance. I woke up feeling like I was breathing through a straw. Add to that, my stomach is somewhat unsettled. Makes for a happy morning, let me tell ya.
2. Preschool is closed. However, we didn’t find out until K had driven H all the way over there. They only make the announcement on the channel 2 news, come to find out, and we watch channel 4 in the mornings. :sigh Add to that it’s unlikely we’ll get any sort of refund for the day and K isn’t too happy. Cuz now he has to take H to work with him. Depending on if the roads improve, I’ll come down and fetch him later (maybe even get some free lunch out of the deal). If not, K will have to run him home.
3. I am *still* sore from the shoveling on Sunday. Yes, that could probably fall under the heading of “I feel like :shit” but I felt the special ache in my back deserved it’s own place on the list.
4. I have I mentioned I feel like I’m going to hurl? :sick Even so, I’m mentioning it again.
5. Mixed all up with the general feeling of dissatisfaction this morning and we have a winner. I think I’ll go back to bed.

Oh! I did get one thing accomplished though. I finally got those pictures I’d promised up. Here’s a tantalizing preview:

EDIT: I found some good pictures of the snowstorm(s). Apparently our town has an intrepid photographer. He’s been braver than I about getting out! Check em out!
