From the age of 5, seemingly endless hours were spent in the pool as I swam for New England Swimming/AAU. The smell of chlorine is nostalgic. During life's tough times, I draw on my swimming experiences of discipline, coupled with my faith in Jesus Christ. I spent many years out west for my schooling in speech-language pathology and special education, before returning to NE to teach. Although I have a passion for teaching young children with special needs, I currently am at home with my own 2 sweet girls, both of whom have sensorineural hearing loss and are the greatest gifts in my life.

LAME!


Lame! I'd imagine we all do things and we look back and wonder, "Why did I do that, that was sooo lame!" We had a play date scheduled with a friend from Little Miss Sunshine's preschool class. Well, her old one since she just started in our public preschool program this past week. It was so nice of this family to invite us over and LMS was really looking forward to it.

It was little a bit snowy this morning, but not too bad. The weather reports kept noting it would snow more, be blustery, etc. Not really the best for driving and my car pretty much stinks in the snow. I called and cancelled and the mother sounded really disappointed although she said she understood. She said her house is just cleaner now and how much her daughter would be disappointed. Uggh, I feel even worse. It did look really slippery out and Guitar Daddy said it wasn't the greatest commute to work. After I hung up I looked out the window again and it really doesn't look that bad and it's not even snowing anymore. LAME. What has happened to me over the years. Growing up in New England, I used to drive in ANYTHING. Since having children, I seem to take NO risks driving unless I absolutely have to. I should have just went....

it definitely is better to be safe than sorry...and this mother should understand that...from looking out my window this morning I don't think I would have gone either...so I don't think you are lame at all!!

Todd was out cleaning the driveway and just from doing that he doesn't want to go anywhere because it is so icy. Better safe than sorry!
Reschedule!

You are NOT lame! I have stopped going out with even the littlest amount of snow. I don't want to take any chances with some of the crazy drivers on the road!

Hopefully you guys can reschedule with the playdate!

Not lame at all. It's better to go with your gut, and not second guess yourself. I don't take chances with my kiddos either...don't worry!
