Just when you think your schedule can’t get any more hectic–it does, right? I have made numerous calls and arrangements to get us through Dave’s MRI (Friday) and pre-op physical (Monday) only to be faced with an even bigger hurdle on surgery day (Wednesday). You heard about the blizzard, right? That’s the mixed blessing of working at a TV station. Some times you know too much, too soon. And it can make you a bit crazy when in the midst of trying to stay calm numerous calls and emails are flooding the newsroom with cancellations and closings for, I kid you not, bingo games among other things perhaps a bit more significant. I’ll never forget the time someone called to complain about how the person (me) who entered the information about the rescheduled horse sale got it all wrong. Personally I am fortunate more than one good friend has offered to take the kids tomorrow should school be cancelled. I have already grabbed some snacks from a store up the street picturing myself entertaining two monkeys in the hospital halls for hours. This just in–a quilting group has been cancelled. Seriously.

Good luck to you guys today. Thats awesome that friends volunteered to take the Lil kidlets. Where would we be without friends??? They r priceless
Tara, good think you completed all the pre-planning for today…..unfortunately the weather forecast was right on TARGET!
Hope all is GOING WELL! STAY SAFE!!!!
Hi Tara, I think I can understand your concern with Dave’s upcoming procedure, and scrambling to make sure you children are going to be looked after, but the quilting and bingo cancellations are important also. Perhaps on a lesser scale. It is a public service, hence your station would not run them. Weather like this, they do not want people on the roads if it can be avoided. My experience has shown that a lot of people look to KWWL for this service, as invariably, someone does not get a phone call from the group advising of the cancellation. This way you end up not reporting a whole bunch of accidents and possible injuries of people who never got the word not to go out.
Hope everything went well today!! And you forgot about the 500 card club that called in.
George is absolutly right and to some, bingo, bridge, etc. are there biggest thing in their lives, hard to believe but true, I have a M-I-L that lives that was which is crazy.
However one must remember that what is important to one person might seem silly to another.
JS and George, absolutely right!
Wow-the snow must have gotten in my keyboard, let me re-do what I wrote. “I have a M-I-L the lives that way which is crazy”.
Thank-You Diane!
