<br />
We were supposed to get snow Wednesday morning, so I planned to put off shopping and scrounge for a day or two. But then we awoke to....(drum roll)... nothing! So I threw on some clothes, grabbed the baby, and headed out...and then:<br />
<br />
The van door wouldn't open.<br />
<br />
I had to everything over to the hubby's car.<br />
<br />
It started to spit freezing rain <i>right</i> as we arrived at the grocery store.<br />
<br />
I, along with half the town, shopped at mach speed trying to beat the brunt of the storm.<br />
<br />
We were pelted with MUCH freezing rain on the way out. Baby Wilder thought freezing rain on his little, bare head was basically the worst thing to ever happen to him.<br />
<br />
Sigh. At least we have everything we need to feed us for the week!<br />
