Snow day for the Cali Girl!

Its sooo cold! Slipped across the parking lot at the grocery, slipped climbing into the truck. Couldn't get my paper it's so darn cold out. And I had to drive to work. Left at 2:15 so I could be sure and make it all the way there.....9 miles....by 3:00. Now it's sooo windy AND cold that I think by the time i leave work at 11:00 pm I won't be able to walk to my car without getting frostbite on my legs thanks to the cheap polyester uniform pants we are forced to wear!
Wish me luck. There are alot of deep ditches on my way home!!!

Went to Mchenry County College to Lisha Linder's 'Children with Exceptionalities' class. We talked to her students about living with Autism from Jake's perspective, Karly and Holly's and from mine! The kids did great--Jake and Holly both made a list of 10 things peopleshould know!!
We also watched some video of Jake throughout his development from about 14 months old to 7 years old!
Jake told us that he didnt't remember anything from that time since he was much younger then!

Just another day...

All's I wanted to do was go to the store and get Holly and Ana some acrylic paint so they could paint their Christmas candles.

While at Meijer I thought I would kill two birds by picking up eggs (for my most excellent deviled eggs) and also grab the dessert for tomorrow's dinner at Grammy's. The huge stack of cinnamon buns with the sign stuck in the middle that said $2.99 looked perfect. Right?

Of course, I chose the self-checkout; it would be so much faster, since I had to go to Michael's to get the  paint, since Meijer didn't have the stupid paint. Then, of course, the cinnamon buns rung up at $4.99. I flagged down the attendent and she came back a few minutes later and said that no, the cinnamon buns were $4.99 not $2.99. So, I (of course) told her that NO. The sign said $2.99. I made her walk back with me to the huge stack of cinnamon buns and pointed to the sign. (HA, right?) She says, 'No, the sign is for those 2 danishes behind all of the cinnamon buns." WHAT!!!!??

I then march back to the stupid self check out and get in the (now really long) line. A girl with a kid and a turkey got in line behind me. She then walked in front of me and stood kind of next to a man at one of the check out lines. When the next person left she walked over and started paying for her turkey!!!

I then realized...stupid me. I must have accidentally put on my invisibility cloak before I left the house!

The remainder of my visit to Meijer was pretty uneventful, tried to use the last couple of $$ on a meijer gift card to pay for the stupid cinnamon buns, but the Meijer machine wouldnt acknowledge their own stinkin' card, so I had to talk to yet another attendent (the same one who helped the cutter put her turkey into the shopping bag). Nothing much out of the ordinary....just havin' a Donna Day....

I've done it. Now that I have some extra time (haha) I'm starting a blog! So all of you who have been saying for all this time that I should do this....YIPPEE!!!

I guess I 'll probably let you know via facebook when something blog-worthy has happened to me, so you can check here for the UN condensed version!

Let's see if my luck stays the same since Sunday!

So, I'll see you on the next Donna Day!!!! :)

Peace!
