I am being punished I know. The first snow in Montreal was billed at 2-4cm. After I googled and consulted Facebook friends (thank you Janet Blank) Okay 2.5cm = 1 inch. I woke up to 17-18cm. What the f is that? My addled brain calculated 7-9 inches. G-d I miss my inches and feet and my Fahrenheit.
So why am I being punished? Since that was my basic premise here. This is why. I have a temper and say things I shouldn’t say. Like this morning Ronin lost Autumn’s new Hanouka present from last night. When approached Ronin said he didn’t touch it. I had already scolded him for playing with it at 6:30am this morning and waking her up.
He did and was careless. I said “Maybe we should go into your room and throw away one of your toys?” I did this to inspire him into movement. I wanted him to care about finding something that he lost that belonged to Autumn. But it didn’t. I found the toy, which annoyed me more as I hate being annoyed over lost toys. Too petty for me but it drives me bonkers! So Ronin was annoyed at me for being mean and I was annoyed at Ronin was not caring and the snow came and punished me.
But we sang the shma the entire way there and we arrived just fine. Took me an 75 mins to get back home when it should have taken 15 minutes but everyone is safe. Sean will pikc them up and I have cancelled our haircuts for tonight. Like hell I am driving again today.
When we got to school Ronin kissed Autumn and said "I'm sorry I lost your phone. I do care. I will show you and not say it."
