Signs to say WAW woke up?

[dday101798]

heh,

So we (Chicago) got hit with this lovely weather overnight. I got up at 5am to prepare to clear the snow/ice/slush mess and waatch the news to see if schools were going to open or not.

As a courtesy, I text STBX asking her if she got to work ok. First time I've made initial contact in months.

We go back and forth a few times about how bad it is outside.

I get a VM from her as I'm clearing the sidewalks that the school's automated message system had called her to notify school had been cancelled and to please call her back.

So, when I was done with everything, I complied with the request and called, and she basically repeated the same thing as the message, and then kind of got under my skin a bit when she said "well, I just didn't want you sending them off to the bus stop and having them stand out there waiting for nothing". So, I firmly said that if I were to have sent them off I would have wen twith them to asses the situation as I had yet to see a single snow plow on the streets.

I apologized for getting a little worked up and just said that I'm a little more conciderate then I'm given credit for. She accepted and then asked if I was going to work or not. I said yes. This is where it gets atrange. She begins to beg and plead with me not to go saying the train will "de-rail or something, or you'll get hurt even more trying to walk out there". What's up with that?

Apparently her family is having Christmas dinner tomorrow, wonder what her answer will be for A) me not being there and B) who her "fiance" is if he goes, I imagine he will.
