The 3-Minute Miracle Blizzard
Posted by Kim on Saturday Jan 6, 2018 Under FirstA “Bomb Cyclone” is what it was called. This storm that blew up the east coast and dropped snow everywhere.
We really thought this was our chance. 5 inches of snow! School was cancelled. Groceries bought (and some boots and snow pants) and we were ready.
First it was gonna happen around 9:00, then 1:00, then 3:00, then 5:00. When nothing was happening at 6:00, I gave up. Come to find out we had a big ol’ dry slot over us and it kept the storm off. Go figure. We were bummed, to say the least.
So, when you came running into the house screaming it was snowing, I was surprised. I told you to let me finish cleaning the kitchen and then we would go outside and play. You said to me, “Mama, this is what we’ve been waiting for. We have to go now.” I stopped and we got wrapped up.
I am so thankful I listened to you and your live-in-the-moment kind of thinking because about 3 minutes after playing, it was all over.
I cannot help but think of this hair product I like when I am buying drugstore stuff. It is called 3-Minute Miracle and my hair always feels so awesome afterwards. Well, after a few snowballs we felt awesome! That snow was a beautiful miracle for us. It was magical.
You hope for snow every winter and I remind you that it is not likely for us, but you keep wishing. Fingers crossed.
You have not given up yet. 🙂
