There goes Thanksgiving….

[MimzMum]

I had to cancel my and my daughters’ doctor appointments today and tomorrow for this. It’s been RAINING all day and all our snow is coming off our roof. I can hardly walk Jenna down the street, it’s like an ice rink out there.

Last time it was this bad I fell in Taiku’s dog yard and almost gave myself a concussion. The kids were itty-bitty then and didn’t even know I’d been out for a few minutes. When I came to the dog was just looking at me with his tongue hanging out as if to say, “Dummie…it slippury out dere!”

30 miles to town may as well be 1000 with conditions like this. I am not even sure my son will be able to drive out for turkey day. Heck, I don’t even have my fixings yet, so it’s probably going to be a macaroni and cheese year anyway!

DTV is completely out. I have to hope the power stays on. Or at least my AM radio so I can get updates.

 

Winter weather sucks.

aw hon, I’m so sorry. Just please promise to be really careful if you go outside…

Maybe you can make your own Thanksgiving when the weather clears up. You can designate a special day all your own. It doesn’t have to be the day that everyone else uses… it can be your own day! A Mimzmum & Family Thanksgiving. Who cares if it’s a few weeks after the normal day?

Who knows… maybe you’ll make a new tradition!

[Monkeybun]

Awww that sucks! But I agree with Lizzie. Make your own special family thanksgiving day if thursday is all icky and ew

[LittlePuffyTail]

Sorry to hear the bad news. Living in the North, I can relate, winter weather certainly likes to wreak havoc on your plans. We just got our first couple of snowfalls. Nothing much yet but it’s coming….dum dum dum….

[bunnytowne]

Weather.     We can’t control it.         Hope it doesn’t ruin your plans.   you can web can and chat with your family    I know it isnt’ the same

[MimzMum]

Yeah, it’s not looking good. The hubby is still going to try to get in first thing Thursday morning, but if it’s really bad he’ll turn around and come back.

We got a frozen pizza…lol.

[LizzieKnittyBun]

You should do what I do with frozen pizza…. dump piles of shredded mozzarella on it and *then* cook it!

Don’t know if things are looking any better for you today, MM, but I want to wish you a
HAPPY, HEALTHY, WARM AND COZY THANKSGIVING!

I for one am thankful for all my mystery friends I have here on line that I could pass in the street and not recognize, but would know their siggy’s and writing style anywhere! *nods*

[Monkeybun]

I’d love to pass you on the street right about now Pam.. its cold Not as cold where MM is… but still. I not built for cold Mmmm Florida…

[MimzMum]

lolz…I just got a mental image of all of us walking around a mall with our siggies tattooed on our foreheads….lmao. Or on those little stickers you use at business meetings. ^_^

BTW, Pam, thanks for the lovely card. I actually am very fond of Georgia O’Keefe. That’s a gorgeous print.

Yeah, we’ve got some colder weather coming. Jenna and I are about of the same mind on that as the wet messy stuff we’ve been dealing with lately. The hub is going in first thing tomorrow to try to pick up supplies (I’m almost out of Yesterday’s News! AAAAAHHHH!!!) and the son. He’s probably only going to be able to crawl down the hot springs road with our current conditions. Can I ask for everyone to keep a good thought for him as he drives in this mush?

What’s worse than wondering how to have a nice holiday is the fear that, God forbid something go wrong with the animals. I don’t know how we’d get them to the vet. >.<
I really need to move closer to town. This out in the boonies thing is getting old. *sigh*

Anyway, it was really strange seeing freeze up, break up and freeze up in a matter of a week and a half. lol. Apparently this is the wettest November on record, not just for us, but the whole state.
And I understand it’s been crossing down into the 48 too…sorry guys! I didn’t do it! *waves white flag*

[LittlePuffyTail]

We also just had the wettest November on record for our Province. We went almost a week with constant downpour. Hope we don’t set a snow record too…
