2014: Doomsyear!

Well, 2014 is off to a promising start (sarcastic scoff). Little Boy’s return to Kindergarten has been postponed until next Monday due to a Nor’easter that the media is intent on branding as “Hercules.” (It’s not the 12-18 inches of predicted snow that’s keeping us huddled indoors, eating bison-and-neufchatel noodleless lasagna and playing Connect Four… it’s the 5 degree “Feels like -10” temperatures that are expected to cripple Boston for the next 36 hours or so).

Since school was a no-go, and since I judged the roads too perilous to drive to Concord anyway, I stayed home with Little Boy while Mr. P put in face-time at his office. I was actually able to get a LOT of work done on a neglected project for work because Little Boy slept until 9:30am (good thing there was no school today! I think the XMas vacation has left him in a slumber deficit).

He wasn’t the only one sleepy. Lazy kitty-cat snuggled up to me on the sofa as I worked, and look irked whenever I moved.

Stupid human. Sit still!

Little Boy got some serious Lego time…

Can't let go... of my Legos...

… before Mama made him suit up for some sledding, even though she knew the snow was too fluffy for good sledding but was desperate to get him out of the house in 28 degree weather because there will be no sledding tomorrow in “Feels like -10.”

Hello, 2014

I’m sure most people are enjoying this extended winter vacation, but I’m taking this Nor-easter as a sign that 2014 will be termagant at best, apocalyptic at worst.
