I can't believe it, I've got the weather channel icon on my toolbar, just to check and compare my weather and the weather my son is experiencing at boot camp. He arrived at the end of that huge blizzard in 4 degree weather. I verified that he left in shorts but had his flannel lounging pants with him. Wonder if he wore them to arrive there. Now it's in the 50's there, much better to my mind, especially since here, today, it's snowing. Not that it's much below freezing, it ranges up and down a little, snowing, raining, hailing, snowing, and nothing on the ground anymore. BUT, it's supposed to rain/snow for the next four days which puts quite the damper on my activities. People drive terribly in bad weather here and I'd rather just avoid the idiots.
He has some sun but showers are expected this week. He's out of Reception Battalion at last. They have received their winter gear so I'm thinking that he'll do fine. Just being a mom. He and his family love the snow, the recreational variety of snow. The kids even took skiing lessons last year. He, however, stayed in by the fireplace with either his laptop or a good book for company or participated in snowball fights. Like mother, like son. I NEVER tried any kind of snow sport as I'm very clumsy and have weak ankles. I'd much rather have a good book and a glass of wine. Or just the wine and a good view of the mountains. The quiet of the snowfall, no dogs barking!! Mine are cowering from the weather, dashing outside then begging to get back in. Towels await at either door to lessen the affects of wet dog syndrome. And NO getting on the new couch!
I try to picture what he is doing way too often during the day. Maybe he is fondly imagining life at home, playing with the kids, picking them up from school, taking the dog to the dog park, sitting down to dinner with the whole family, having pizza, playing games on the computer, going to the movies. I wonder if they serve pizza at bootcamp? Anybody know?
