Yep, you heard me right. Hell froze over. Why do you ask? Well, we got snow in the south. Shocker huh?! We never get snow and twice this year we’ve had it. The first time back in December 2017. It wasn’t much. Hardly anything to write about. It was more of an inconvenience than anything else. Then early this week they said we would be getting snow. Of course, here in the south we laughed. I mean really think about living in the south. If we see a single snowflake, we shut down. Honestly we do. We are not equipped for snow and we don’t know how to drive in that kind of weather.
So Tuesday night, mom got a text stating work would be delayed Wednesday for two hours – report in at 10AM. No problems. Mom woke up Wednesday morning and squealed for joy. I heard her. It scared me. Do you remember when you were in school and you thought you might be having a snow day and you were so excited? Mom was exactly that for some reason. She had not even left the bed and she said it snowed. How did she know? Is she psychic? Mom said she could tell because everything was so bright inside of the Hotel Thompson. I don’t know what she was talking about. We all stumbled to the front door. She opened the door and we were in awe. Look at all of that snow! We were all mystified.
Mom then got a text saying work was called out for non-essential personnel. Mom actually jumped for joy. It’s strange seeing her do that. Really it is. Mom then went to the back door and opened it up for all of us. She told us we could go out and play in the snow. Shaking my head. Mom do you not know us at all? Houdini yawned and left to go back to bed first following by me. Trust me. I do not want snow or cold stuff rubbing against my pot belly. I’ll pass. What was mom thinking?
Then this morning she was again delayed two hours. But when she left for work, there was icicles going across the front of the Hotel Thompson. Do you see them? And mom called us when she got to work. What usually takes less than 15 minutes took mom 45 minutes this morning. The roads were still icy and full of snow. Mom said there was also some – what did she call them? – IDIOTS driving on the roads going fast like there was no tomorrow. Weirdos.
