1. Husbands are more excited than kids when it comes to a blizzard
2. Kids think it's funny to wear shorts and short sleeves in the house while it is pouring down snow outside
3. Babies will poop just as much during a blizzard; have plenty of diapers on hand
4. Powdered milk tastes bad. Do not believe the writing on the package; they are lying!
5. People who are addicted to caffeine will spend 3 hours shoveling a driveway in sub-zero temperatures in order to get the van out of the garage and into a WalMart, where there is caffeine
6. Dogs do not like to pee in the snow
7. Dogs do not like to go out in the snow
8. Dogs will poop and pee on your carpet instead of in the snow
9. I want to kill my dogs
10. A snow day is great; a snow WEEK, however, is a recipe for disaster
11.When in a pinch, an upside-down lawn chair makes a great snow shovel.
12. No matter how bad it is, people will always work together and help out their neighbors in need--this includes helping to rock a car out of a snow bed and lending snow shovels to non-caffeinated geniuses
13. Do not, for any reason, leave your laptop unsupervised during a blizzard; it will mysteriously and/or spontaneously fall off its table and shatter into a million pieces
14. Best Buy does not stay closed during a blizzard, thankfully (there must be a lot of unsupervised laptops around here)
15. My kids play really well with each other until about 2 p.m.
16. 2 p.m. is nap time, apparently
17. No matter how much water a humidifier dumps into a house with gas heat, you will still get shocked every time you touch metal
18. A 4 foot snow bank will hold up a 7 foot wooden fence that would otherwise fall over
19. Snow can melt from the bottom up
20. No matter how quirky and how cooped-up my family is, I wouldn't trade them for anything (the dogs, on the other hand...)
