snow day

I have had a fantastic day. It was a snow day...a SNOW DAY!!! Those are rare in this area, and always a fun treat if you can manage to swing the day off work to enjoy it. Well I did manage to swing the day off...I will probably take tomorrow off as well. My already great four day weekend has turned into a mini-vacation.

It has been so much fun playing, really playing, with the Pea...and she always manages to say or do something funny at just the right time. Today the rental car place called me to tell me they needed to switch cars on me (AGAIN!) and I needed to bring in the old one...well it kinda ticked me off, first off I didn't want to venture out in the snow with a bunch of idiots who don't know how to drive in it, and second, I didn't want to have to clear out all my crap. I'm kind of a nester...I practically live out of my car and like to have all possible necessities at my finger tips at all times...cds, napkins, money, lip gloss, extra clothes, pens, paper...you name it...not only that but anyone with children knows that they can't help but nest, in addition to her own cds, napkins, lip gloss and clothes were seashells, crayons, Cheerios and stickers...my god I must have cleared out three dozen stickers. Anyway, knowing that I am going to have to clear all this shit out and not wanting to venture onto the highway I hem and haw and they agree to come to my house with the new car, and since the Pea DID throw up in the old one the other day, I decided a new one might not be a bad idea. Well, I hung up the phone, annoyed, and got ready to head outside to make the exchange.

Pea: "Mommy, what's wrong?"

me: "Oh, nothing Pea, mommy just has to go clean all our stuff out of the car so we can get a new one."

Pea: "Why mommy?"

me: "Honestly sweetie, I dunno, just stay inside and watch Dora, OK?"

Pea: "Mommy, (hands on hips) did you pee in the car AGAIN?"

Kid you not...
