Well, that was a fun drive to work this morning. A light snow is falling, we could get 2-3 inches by the time it's done, and some wind, so roads were slow all over the metro area today. I'd say about double the normal commute times. And of course comes the stupidity. Lots of accidents reported, some rollovers. People in way too much of a hurry for the conditions.

Still no precise word on when we might make our first trip. And still not sure how events in Iraq might affect plans. Will just have to wait and see.

Last night John was exhibiting some two-yr-old behavior, as he as fussing and lying on the floor when I was trying to get his jammies on. And I told him I'd count to 3 and he should get up or he'd have to sit in timeout for awhile. And then he quit fussing but still laid there, and waited for me to count, like he was waiting to see what I'd do. So, he didn't get up and I said ok, you were naughty so you have sit for awhile. And he was perfectly calm then, almost like he thought it was something fun to do, but he knows its for when he is naughty. So we went to the kitchen and he sat in the chair, and I set the timer for two minutes. He always sits there pretty quiet. I went out to the living room to put his LeapPad on the table, cuz I got out the Dora cartridge Mom sent, and John must have wondered where I went, cuz I think Rhonda usually stays in the room with him, and I saw him slowly creeping out with a quizzical look on his face, wondering where I went. So I told him to get back on the chair, and when the timer went off then he had fun with his new Dora LeapPad cartridge.
