Top 10 reasons I can’t get out of the house on time to get to work.

I am not a morning person so my morning routine has to be spot on with no deviations or unexpected happenings.


Starting with number ten ..


10) Had to take the garbage out because my son didn’t do it before HE left for work.


9) The clock in the kitchen was wrong so I thought I had enough time to check my email before leaving.


8) Had to clean up cat puke.


7) I thought the pants I was going to wear, fit. They didn't. I had to start over at the closet.


6) Three blocks away I realized I had forgotten my tea, had to go back and get it.


5) Got up late and my son was already in the bathroom. We have one bathroom, I had to wait my turn.


4) Had to find where the bad smell was coming from.


3) Realized I had not made my lunch the night before. Had to make it.


2) More cat puke to clean up.


And the number one reason I cannot get out of the house on time to get to work ....


1) It takes twice as long to get dressed and it’s next to impossible to put a bra on during a hot flash!

From one day to the next


If you live in the Chicago area your whole life, or maybe for just a week - you understand quite clearly that the weather is ever changing. We tend to flip from one extreme to another in a matter of hours which will catch people unfamiliar with this place without the proper clothing or
with an umbrella when they need a parka.


Recently we've had some winter days like this -



and this ...



After a few days of freezing temps and windy gray skies we got this-




Brilliant blue skies

and this ....




Days so beautiful the trees are growing the snowballs FOR you!


And yeah. I just did a whole blog post about the weather, you wanna make something if it???
