I agree with this poster about OP. Honestly, OP sounds like she wants a biscuit for enjoying the past few days. Yay you, but your post was uttterly pointless. OP doesn't get it. And it has nothing to do with being a "glass half full" person, it has to do with having the awareness that other people may be facing really difficult circumstances. Or maybe they just don't like snow (or 2 weekends of it). It is not a character weakness... |

It's absolutely a character weakness, OP! It has to do with COPING mechanisms. But I wouldn't expect you to see that. Not OP here, BTW. |

Emotional intelligence seems quite lacking in many areas here. I would think that is definitely part of character. Maybe people would be better off (for themselves) if they spent less time on lists and more time on character. |

What's with the poster who keeps bringing up nannies with boyfriends? Did your nanny ditch you or something? Ok, sorry, so sad but that doesn't mean that other people don't have legit reasons to miss work.

Oh, I totally think the nannies are ditching work. Which is fine. Yesterday, the driving was fine. There was a nanny that kept saying "WHAAHAHA I want work" and in the same sentence, saying she supposedly couldn't get to work. When it was suggested employer pick her up she backed down and admitted she would rather stay in bed with her boyfriend. Why, are you her? I feel bad for the moms with deadlines and (dire) medical appointments, seriously! |

No, I am not a nanny. That is not a job that would fit well with my personality.
I missed the part where she said she wanted to stay in bed with her boyfriend that's why I was wondering where it was coming from. All I saw was a nanny saying she wanted to work and then someone kept bringing up being with the boyfriend. I had a what the heck moment. |

Right, Neanderthal, b/c you have an extra layer of flab and a coat of hair on your back to keep you warm in your 35 degree home as you and your dog share his canned Alpo b/c you don't have a g-damn gas range! |

Driving wasn't that good yesterday where I live. I was finally able to bring DD to the doctor and 295 was criminal. I couldn't believe that such a MAJOR road was in such poor shape. It was down to one (crappy) lane that only had tire tracks leading to the pavement. People were going off the road, left and right, most were 4WD vehicles. 4WD doesn't help on sheets of ice. When I got the street the doctors office was on I was somewhat shocked to find it hadn't been plowed at all. I was driving DH's 4WD SUV and I needed it to navigate the short distance I had to drive. |

i complain because: my daughter's too young to be "good company" yet, I don't have a spouse or boyfriend to spend the days/nights with, I haven't seen my friends since january, and it is damn near impossible to shovel when you have 24/7 responsibility for a toddler. If I were child-free, I'd be loving the snow days - I'd be sleeping in, doing yoga in my living room, organizing my files and my closets, doing home projects. But with a toddler, I have to chase her around all day, then I'm too tired after 8 to do anything constructive. (i'm on this site because it's the closest thing i've had to stimulating conversation in days!) plus i miss the variety of food and workouts i get when i'm not stuck in the house. (i have a treadmill, but i miss gym workouts. i can cook/bake but not every kind of cuisine i'd normally have in a week.)
it's great to be positive about it, but you've gotta realize that a lot of us are OVER this and would like life to get back to something resembling normal. |

OP's husband here. We just had a wonderful night hike "on the mounds only" and came back for hot chocolate. Wow, it's incredibly beautiful out there. It's other worldly. I've never seen anything like it. We are in heaven!

| Friday-fun, day off, snowballs. Saturday-more fun but bummed about car covered in 3 feet of snow. Sunday-getting a little stir crazy, running low on food. Monday-thought I'd be able to get out-WRONG. Tuesday-got out (YAYYYYY!!), drove home from work and almost crashed (around 6:30pm). Wednesday-stuck in again and f%$$#king losing my mind. Just took a look at my car that it took me an hour and a half to dig out Monday and just want to cry. Starting to realize that I might be stuck again tomorrow...AGHHHHHH. Now you get why some people are complaining. And I don't even have kids and haven't lost power, I can only imagine what it's been like for people worse off. |
