Today has been a frightful day, weather-wise. Lots of snow and freezing rain. Originally I was going to drive to Ohio tomorrow with the kids, but yesterday my dad called and offered to fly here on Wednesday so he could drive with us if we waited until Thursday to go. That sounded like a good plan, but the only sticking point is that Mom and Dad aren't actually home in Ohio yet--they left Utah today to fly home, but well, the weather is crappy in Dayton too, as well as in Denver, which is one of their connections. So it is looking right now as if they will be stuck in Charlotte, NC, for the night. Then they will try to get to Dayton tomorrow morning, Dad will attempt to dig out the car and get it started so Mom can drive home, and he will turn around and get on another airplane to fly here. That is the NEW plan anyways, and we'll see how that one pans out. At least Thursday appears to be a better day for driving as far as weather goes.
As if the weather wasn't enough to deal with today, my doctor called with the unwelcome news that I failed my 1 hour glucose tolerance test. Grrr. I have never failed one before, and I feel like such a loser! I guess that harkens back to my school-day sensitivities. Although I took the test almost as soon as we got back from Colorado (where we ate like we were on a cruise), and right after my birthday (which was filled with cake and brownies, LOL), I really wasn't that concerned. I thought my faithful exercising would keep that beast at bay. Obviously that did not work. Sigh. The only problem is now that I will have to take the 3 hour test right after we get back from this trip to Ohio! Nothing like having that hanging over your head every time you think about Young's chocolate-peanut butter ice cream!
So all in all, it was a rather discouraging day. We shall see what tomorrow brings . . .

I failed the 1 hour test for 10 pregnancies. On my ninth one I had a wonderful older Christian OB who told me it was nothing to worry about, and lots of women spill sugar in their urine while pregnant. He let me skip the three hour test. Said it was obvious I didn't have gestational diabetes.
I'll be praying for you - that glucola is nasty!
I hope your Ohio travels were uneventful and the trip there a success. If you need childcare when you get back so that you can go to your test, let me know. Kim
