(If you read the blog daily, you saw some angst and rage yesterday, but thanks to my sister Bonney, apparently the computer did save the entry for yesterday, so now you can read it all--yay!)

So yesterday did not start well. I did, however, drop off the report at the United Way first thing in the morning--there was someone there at 8:15. Then I took Ray to his office and went on to work. Most of the day, Meredith was involved in personnel issues and fighting with the Board. I am hoping that things will get a little less dramatic and she won't be spending quite so much time talking to me, although I appreciate the confidence and knowing what's going on. I worked on reimbursements and getting rid of old files. We were expecting snow about noon, and the school called to say they were letting kids out 2 hours early, always a problem for us. We were able to get in touch with all but one Mom, so those kids were set to come to the Shelter with no parental supervision. I tried to argue for not taking on the school's problem (what would they do if that parent were not staying at the Shelter?). In the end, she must have gotten the message, because they did not show up.

The snow started about 2, somewhat casually, with me saying, "this isn't going to amount to anything..." I left a little after 3:30. It was starting to stick on the trees and grass, but the roads were just wet. It was quite pretty and not a problem, although the traffic was really bad downtown, on my way to pick up Ray. We got home fine. I imagine the stores were a nightmare, but all was lovely at our house. We took a walk in the snow with the dogs, Ray making snowballs and throwing them at Cameron, who caught them and then looked confused when they disintegrated and tasted like water. We had a family discussion at Drink and Snack and decided to officially have Cameron stay and be part of our family. I have mixed feelings, as I think we all do. It is one  more responsibility, economically and otherwise, but he is fun to have around and quite well-behaved.

For supper, we had leftovers--the macaroni and cheese that Ray had made for potluck from a CHOW recipe that was delicious, as well as some lamb chops and a crab cake from Porterhouse Grill. There was also still cake and ice cream.

It is beautiful outside, what I could see when I got up, before I turned on the computer, white everywhere. It is cold now, but the heat is running. We don't have to go anywhere immediately and it is supposed to be about 40 at its warmest today, with sun, so it will probably melt before Ray has to drive to Sandy Creek with his dinosaur bones. I hope the weather doesn't keep people from coming.

My Mom has a cough and went to the doctor Thursday. I may be getting it too.
