Today's new update is they are calling for 10-15 inches tonight, and another 3-5 tomorrow by 4pm. And then it's suppose to get windy and nuts and drift all around. I want the snow and they are saying it is suppose to be a really wet "snowman" snow. We are going to give that a try tomorrow. Dennis is taking the day off afterall because they are advising people to stay off the roads, and if he goes in, his drive home will be really bad with the wind and drifting. So I think I have him convinced to stay home. I should check to make sure he didn't set his alarm before I fall asleep tonight. He's passed out already after an extremely long day.
News just said we have at least 3 inches already and it's getting heavier and faster. Suppose to be around 2 inches an hour till morning. Kind of exciting! At least we are all home and safe.
The grocery trip sucked majorly. Between the freaking out about the weather, and people stocking up for superbowl parties, I didn't get everything I needed for the week. What typically would only take at the most 3 hrs to get there and back, took over 5 hrs. People were seriously driving me crazy with blocking the aisles and being so rude and nasty. Kristopher did pretty good with it all, but the 85 yr old grandma was bad. She kept taking off and I finally gave up trying to find her and went on my way with my list. She eventually found me again and stuck a little closer. I know it's kind of rude of me to make fun of the behavior, but she seriously reminds me of Kristopher with money while shopping. She will find junk food that looks good and completely get super excited about how good it looks and how she has to have it. She then can't wait to get home and rip it open. I think she is starting to seriously lose her mind and that is not funny. But finding the humor in the little things is what makes it easier for me to handle her lately. It's very difficult to take her along when I'm in a rush and today was definitely one of those days. I feel like I repeated myself a million times and she would still come back to the same questions. I don't know if she is truly not hearing it, or just not remembering it. She gives me an attitude like she's doing it on purpose so I really don't know. I'm on the crap list with her right now because I'm going to be babysitting and she is jealous I won't have as much time for surprise outings with her. Which we haven't been doing much in a while anyway, but still. Her way of coping with the news is to treat me like crap and try to make me not do it.
I don't want to turn it into a big complaining post about how she's nuts, because maybe she truly can't help it and someday I don't want to look back and regret this. It's just a change I wish I didn't have to deal with. I already lost one grandmother to Alzheimer's, but we weren't as close as this one so I don't remember the beginning stages. In the back of my mind, I'm thinking that's what it is...
