Thursday, finally

Did anyone else give a big sigh of relief when they got to work this morning? Its Thursday...finally. This has possibly been the longest week of all time and for no particular reason. I was neither drudgingly slow nor exhaustedly overwhelmed this week (unlike last week!). Instead, its just been a few things here and there with some rest periods in between. I wonder if that is what most people's work-life is like? It must be nice...Except the last three days felt like three weeks. Hello, weekend! I can see you on the horizon.

On another note, we are in a winter storm warning. I noticed it this morning on weather.com. The storm warning is for Friday afternoon through Saturday. That's right--the winter storm warning is up a whole day and a half in advance. And its gets better--the warning is for an expected 6-12 inches of snow. Hahahahahahahahaha. Seriously!?! Only a foot of snow? That's nothing. It will melt in like two days, anyway. But people here are panicking. Folks at the basketball game yesterday were talking about how they were preparing to be snowed in all weekend. Snowed in!!! And I'm positive that our grocery store will be empty of bread, eggs and milk by tomorrow morning (Why do people always buy bread and eggs? We almost never eat bread or eggs in our house. We'd be better off with loads of chicken breasts and pasta). I'm trying to keep my self-righteous, midwestern, if-its-not-over-16-inches-its-not-worth-talking-about smirks to myself.

And finally, God decided to test my fortitude yesterday by dangling the assistant coach's position for girl's basketball in front of me. Its mine if I want it. And I do want it. I love the coach--she likes the game to be played exactly the same way that I do. But I have yet to figure out a way that it would be workable. Cruel, cruel life. I think I'll give myself until the summer to see if I can come up with any solutions. I hate to let an opportunity like this pass me by. *sigh
