    sandman713 I thought my 2 with -10 to -15 wind chill for tomorrow was cold.  I am freezing here in PA. 

    jacicat praying for your mom.  Your mom is where she needs to be. Hopefully within 24 hours you will notice a difference in her. 

    Coach Shelia wine glasses??? I know nothing about this

  • Carol Ann

    Good morning ladies! I am logging in with -13 degrees below and wind chills of -25 below this morning! VERY COLD out there.  Sandman: Sounds like you and I are in about the same cold pattern. But at least no snow right now and the main roads are clear so I will take that! Catsmom: 5:30am is very early! I get here to work at 8am-that's early enuf for me thank you! Especially in this COLD!!!

    I ordered a wine glass for me and a beer mug for my hubby.

    Jacicat_Prayers for your Mom and Luke's Gma. Hugs to you. They will get 'er fixed up I am sure.

    Have a great day ladies!

  • Gaisey

    Carol Ann looks like your dispatcher made a huge mistake again this morning and all the south is now under blizzard conditions too! Sharoncede is going to have your head!! The sun continues to shine out here. When are we going to get our snow??
  • Carol Ann

    Gaisey: Yeah I hear you all are due for some very bad weather-hopefully not! Maybe I need to start dancing counter clockwise or something!?! Obviously me and Sharoncede must have our dances mixed up!

  • Gaisey

    Carol Ann and everyone else out there start dancing counter clockwise and do some extra twerking with those cabana boys! Seriously sounds awful to be so cold! I can send my winter clothes to Sharoncede in Alabama as I don't need them anymore in CA! Who are we blaming for this weather pattern?? Seems El Niño is out doing himself! Take care friends and try and stay warm!
  • navyarmymom

    What wine glasses and beer mugs are you talking about?

  • Coach Shelia

    Yippee! Good morning everyone! These kinds of pics keep me going!article-2241603-1642A7BF000005DC-804_634x408.jpeg On the Truman Moms Facebook page, there was a mom who started the ball to rolling on the wine glasses. I know the lady I ordered them from has a Facebook page: The Mad Painter. Have a great day everyone! 

  • Gaisey

    Thanks Couch for the pic!! I am going to make it my FB cover pic!! Love it!!
  • Carol Ann

    Everyone: I was jsut going to comment who to order the glasses from and looks like Coach Sheila beat me to it. yes it is The Mad Painter in FACEBOOK and she does pub glasses, beer steins and wine glasses. On the FACEBOOK Truman Moms site they were talking about it and you could also look there. I think she will ship to you separately and/or there was talk of meeting up with her and she would bring to the Homecoming for less shipping money if you wanted to go that route. I am having it shipped to my home.

    Coach Sheila: LOVE that picture!

  • Coach Shelia

    Gaisey Couch...ha ha I promise I've been working out!

  • Gaisey

    Haha spell ck wins again!
  • trish6794

    Awwww Coach... I had my headphones in and just said "Awwww" really loud in the office haha.  I got some looks.  They didn't get it.  But I do!!!  That's so sweet!  ^_____^ <3 

    Yes it's a big ole 12 degrees here today, and my gas heater is broken.  It's aobut 50 degrees in my house.  Good thing we have lots of blankets.  And when I woke up today I should have been miserable to get out of bed.  But the whole morning I just thought about how much I will appreciate the warmth of that homecoming hug!!!!  Then again I got so excited I've just been smiling all day.    (While also freaking out about some paperwork nonsense I have going on).   I'm so weird...

    You all have me really pumped up about all of this dancing!  Everybody stay warm and those who already warm well...  haha you just stay safe and stay happy.  Yay Coach working out!  Working out = Endorphins = happiness   (I <3 Science ^.^).

  • Gaisey

    Keep dancing! It is sprinkling this morning in N CA! So sorry my southern friends it looks like your situation is bleak for a few more days. I hope you are home and safe.
  • pschip

    Gaisey  Yes it is bad here in Atlanta people have been stuck overnight kids are on buses and have been all night  and some are camped out at school  because they couldn't get them home.  I hope you get your rain soon we will kept dancing   but if we get this again there will be no more dancing 

  • Coach Shelia

    Hope everyone is staying safe and warm! Here's another pic!IMG_800932849340521.jpeg

  • Carol Ann

    Gaisey: Dancing still for you but am getting a wee bit tired. Hopefully it has rained a bit harder for you.

    Trish 6794: We are getting about the same here in OH. At least I am warm. Hopefuly your heating problems are better by now?

    Gaisey: Feel bad for all your Southeners not used to this weather/snow/ice thing. I think we Northerners have it down pat by now this winter especially. You also do not have the means to cope with it like we do up here which makes the problem waaaay worse! So sorry to hear about Atlanta area especially! Wow! How frustrating!

    Coach: You bring tears to my eyes with all your little posts. Love them!

  • Sherryl

    I was hoping for some rain here is So Cal! hope all my navy sisters east of here start warming up!

  • Catsmom

  • Catsmom

  • Catsmom

    Sherryl, maybe all us Caili girls need to get together and do that rain dance...LOL.

    Coach Shelia, so true..

    Crystal said snowing at home and I missed it...LOL. she lives in GA. near Augusta.

    No rain in Southern Calif. but we did have Fog.  heard the rain is going to stay north..Hope we get some snow pack up there too!

    Praying the weather warms up for everyone in the Freeze! Stay safe and warm.

    Yes Carol Ann the heat in my house is FIXED like just an hour ago.  Thank goodness.  I have a sore throat from breathing in the cold air all night :(  But I get to go home and not dread it today!!!  I don't have to dress like I'm outside INSIDE!!!  Hahah.  It's the little thanks in life.

  • Gaisey

    Awe love the sentimental quotes! It is not much more than a drizzle in Sacramento, but we will take it!! Looks like rain tomorrow! Keep dancing girls it is working! I would be up for a meet up with the Cali girls. I am in S CA once or twice a month. Frequent flyer with SW!
  • Catsmom

    Gaisey, I would be up for a meet up with you, how about it my ßo. Cal sisters. Wen will you be here again?
  • Catsmom

    trish6794, love the song.
  • Sherryl

    Im in for a meet and rain dance! I have about 20 so cal Navy moms meeting march 1st at Toby Keiths bar and grill at victoria gardens in rancho cucamonga any one want to go let me know and I will give the times:) or just about any other time I would LOVE to meet you all:)

  • Gaisey

    I am in Anaheim on Feb 6th my hubby is coming with me. He is playing and I am working during the days. Could meet for happy hour on Friday the 7th somewhere if it works for y'all. My meeting should wrap up by 4 or 5. Not booked for March yet.
  • Catsmom

    It works for me Gaisey, message me. I will give you my phone #.
    Sherryl, don't think I will make the meet and greet in March. Saving for the Homecoming.
    Crystal has her Murder Board today, pray all goes well. She is stressed..LOL I know she will pass though!
  • Carol Ann

    Ladies of Calif: So jealous you get to have a meet and greet and get to know one another a little better before the Homecoming and afterwards too! Enjoy and have a drink for me!

    Trish: Glad you got your heat back. I cannot imagine going without in this cold!

    We are supposed to heat up today and expected to have highs of almost 30 degrees! I will want to break out hthe shorts at that temp compared to the minus digits we have been experiencing here in OH for so long!

    Catsmom: Love your little sayings. Especially the one about winter!

    Sheryl: I bet if we could get sharoncede back to dancing with me we could really make it pour down there!  She's too busy doing those taxes right now though.

    For those of you in the Atlanta area i feel so bad for you with the mess you have had the last few days. Hopefully that will all change FAST!

    The rest of you, stay warm and have a great day!

  • Sherryl

    I will be out of town for the feb meet up but let me know about march i could go down the hill and meet you:)  getting my road trip all planned out for homecoming excited but Calif to Norfolk is gonna be a long journey:)

  • pschip

    Carol Ann  it was a mess here in Atlanta but getting better thanks  I'm in my warm house and I'm staying there Glad you temps are going up we are at 31 now at 2:30 but tonight it is going to drop again   and calling for a winter mix next week  i hope they have it wrong 

  • Carol Ann

    pschip: The bad thing is you do NOT have the snow clearing capabilities we have up in the North. No brining before, salt, plows, etc like we do. And even then it cna be treacherous! Plus you tend to get more ice and sleet than we do too which only adds to the fun. Feel very sorry for you all and what you went through. The traffic jams, kids staying at schools overnight and stuck in school busses on the highway too! Sitting in cars for long hours! Wow! and Double Wow! I would stay put too if I were you!

  • pschip

    Thanks Carol Ann  there are still cars just sitting where people ran out of gas or just left them and staring walking   It was sad all the kids in schools and on buses 

    there was one lady she was stuck in her car all night she had a 2 yr old and a 6 month old  she got help after 12 hrs in her car the Tv reports gave her kids food and someone came with baby food and milk  it just breaks your heart to see that happen and you can't do anything about it 

  • Carol Ann

    pschip: So sad. That should never have happened! I heard the tail end of a news report on the radio today coming into the office saying something about holding the Mayor and the Governor accountable for this fiasco. If nothing else, maybe they will put an emergency plan of some sort into effect so that it never happens again!

  • Carol Ann

    Wow Sandra! I usually allow double the time when we have snow here in OH to get to work. Normally takes me 25-30 mins and I allow for an hour on snow/ice days. I thought that was bad!

  • Carol Ann

    Sandra: I said earlier that unfortunately you tend to get teh sleet and ice more than we do. If they pre-treated the roads with brine like up here that would probably at least help some. I think they need to get some salt and have that ready for this. Not sure what they did down there knowing this was coming beforehand, just hate to see what all happened as a result of the bad weather happen to you all.

  • Carol Ann

    Yay ADANF's Mom! I will have to look!

  • Catsmom

    Yea! ADANF'sMom. I will look for it!
  • pschip

    I think just called the weather wrong  we were told that everything was going to be south of the city just a few flurries here but that didn't happen  and then when they dismissed schools at the same time everyone was leaving work and the interstate could not hold the volume   then the snow are ice on top of that it was just a mess the road were so packed with trucks are cars the salt and sand trucks could not get to where they could spread   a lot of schools are still closed tomorrow  which is a good thing 

  • Gaisey

    Sandra that is an awesome video. Among the misery of ice and snow along comes the skater who turns it into a positive joyful experience. Nice!

    Catsmom my meeting on the 7th canceled. I will check back in with you as soon as I have a new date.
  • Catsmom

    Ok Gaisey, hopefully next time you are down this way we can all meet!
  • Coach Shelia

    Yippee! I hope everyone has a great day! I received a long email last night from my son, Happy Dancing...happy dancing! I was numb for hours after reading it.. Everything you pray for: their safety, health and happiness was in that email! My heart is so swelled with pride! He's doing awesome!   Stay warm and safe everyone! Stay focused, patient and positive!  Here's a pic for today! IMG_650135621875173.jpeg

  • Catsmom

    Happy dancing for you Coach Shelia! Love the poem.
    Crystal passed her Murder Board! She said Table of 6 I was 1 of 2 left standing!
  • Gaisey

    Catsmom that is amazing! You once again have bragging rights! Wow! Happy Friday!
  • Carol Ann

    pschip and Sandra: Wow! Ice skating in the streets! What a cool video! I am so sorry for the mess there and all that everyone had to go through. Hopefully it will all melt and go away quickly and normalcy will prevail.

    Coach Sheila: Yippee for you! Celebrating with you! I KNOW how much that email meant to you!

    Catsmom: Happy Dancing for you too! You daughter Crystal did awesome! I'll bet you are busting at the seems with pride for her! I know I would be!

    Sounds like we are all off to a great start on this Friday. Last day of January! Thank God! Couple more months of this to go...I think I can...I think I can...

  • Carol Ann

    Coach Sheila: I didn't know the RED FRIDAY thing was still going on...Guess I will have to get out something Red and wear it on Fridays along with my Truman pin!
