Snow Day in Spring

Monday was supposed to be back to school for my boys as the first day after their Spring Break.  But -- they had a snow day instead!  The St. Louis area had the worst thunder snow since since 1983.  Usually, I am a fan of the snow, but I am a bit under the weather this time.  I heard, though, from some others that it was a great snow for snow balls and snow man building.  It was quite beautiful.  Just google St. Louis Spring Snow to get some great images.

Unfortunately for some people, the unexpected weather was a big buzz kill.  They had come long distances for the Wizard World Comic Con St. Louis only to get socked in by the weather.  My favorite of the show, Jason David Frank, posted on his facebook account that his flight out of St. Louis was cancelled so he was driving to Little Rock, Arkansas to catch a flight back to California.  There were many, many cancelled flights, as well as many disappointed out of towners who intended to got to Comic Con, but couldn't make it because of inclement weather.

I spent the majority of Sunday nursing the flare that I knew would result from all of the activity the previous day.  Monday was a light day also, as it takes several days for a flare to die down.  It is tolerable, though -- and for that I am very thankful.  I always keep in the corner of my mind that things could always be just so much worse.

Spring Break and Wizard World Comic Con

YAY!  I purchased tickets for me and the boys to attend next Saturday's St. Louis Wizard World Comic Con 2013!  It is a 3 day event, but we don't have the money to attend all three days.  But we are super duper excited about the one day that we do get to attend!  Here is a link: Comic Con

I am sure you will hear more an more about it as it gets closer -- and then after we attend!  I am bringing my camera, of course.  There are some HUGE stars attending this event -- Stan Lee is one of my favs.  But the biggest draw for my family is Jason David Frank, or as he used to be known Tommy Oliver on the Power Rangers!

Also -- today was the last day of school before Spring Break!  I think going to our first ever Comic Con is a fitting event for my son's senior Spring Break!  He is spending the night at a friend's house.  My other son is enjoying being the only child at home tonight.  Tomorrow, while they all sleep in, I am babysitting for a friend so her boys can enjoy their first day of Spring Break 2013 by sleeping in also -- instead of going to day care.  I love them as if they were my own family -- and the only live a few blocks away.  It is all very good!
