let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

So, the weatherman got it right this time. We've got a heck of a lot of snow. I don't think I'll be going to work today.
As a very wise woman once said (ok, a co-worker typed in an IM this AM) "The white stuff stopped being pretty when it stopped getting me out of school". Very wise indeed.
Well my little cutie pie has been making such wonderful progress lately. In the past month he has really started crawling. He is beginning to show hints of the inner speed demon. He has also learned to pull himself from a sitting to a standing position, which means we now have a new bedtime routine. It goes: Change baby, give tzedakah, read book, say shema, put in bed, say bedtime prayer, give kiss, leave room, come back 3 minutes later when he is screaming because he used the sides of the crib to stand up and can't get back into a sitting position. HELP! I'VE GOTTEN UP, AND I CAN'T FALL DOWN! Maybe we should get him life alert.
Right now, Nate is showing that he is very much is father's son. He decided the baby learning center was too boring, so crawled over to the spare computer and pulled the keyboard to the floor. If anyone gets a weird IM, don't worry. It's just Nate's early attempts to communicate.
I got such wonderful news at work yesterday. I found out that I'm not selling enough ads (really!) and I'm not a salesperson (well duh!). So they will try to find me another job around the office, but if they can't then I'm gone in 3 weeks. They will give me a letter of reccomendation, for being a hard worker, and try to help me find another job. They won't even tell the others why I'm leaving. They will say it's becuase I want to spend more time with Nate (which is true). Thats ok, I already found a potential other job. A friend will be returning to work soon after an extended maternity leave, and I may watch her son 2x week. Or maybe I'll find another job somewhere else.
