Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

Lots of paperwork to do at school again today, of course, there always is, but, even more today, for some reason. The day flew by again!!

I made it home before the snow!! So glad!! I loaded up clothes, toiletries, food, etc., just in case I ended up staying all night with my friend. I came on home as soon as school was out. It was SO cold, I think I shook halfway home. I unloaded all of my supplies out of the truck, sat down for a few minutes, then, texted Amanda to see if she needed any help with the baby. She said yes, so, I went over when Jakob woke up, and fed him while she did a few things she needed to do.

I'm REALLY hoping we get enough snow to call off school!! Several schools have already cancelled, even before the snow has started. We still have tons of snow on the ground from last weeks snow!! I actually have drifts that are still at least a foot or two deep!! Come on snow!!! :)

God is good.

It had been a full week since I'd left the house. I attempted to back out of my driveway this morning and almost got stuck in the ice and snow. Messy, messy, messy. The day went by quickly at school, so much to do, so much paperwork, getting prepared for possible days out due to more snow coming, just tons of work. It just flew by, way too fast.

Errands to run after school, done quickly, then, home to shovel my driveway. I decided I didn't want another episode like this morning. I shoveled quite a bit, then, decided to back my truck in, hopefully, making it easier to get out of the driveway in the morning. Oops!! Unfortunately, I got the truck stuck!! Ugh!! Had to dig out with the snow shovel. Finally, got the truck unstuck and finished shoveling enough (I hope!) to get out in the morning without getting stuck.

Got mail today, for the first time in a week!! Yay!

Ugh...can this school year go any slower? Yes, today went fast, but, I have a feeling the rest of the year is going to drag by like molasses in the winter time...

I miss my mom. This house is so big and so lonely. I think I'll move. Far, far away. Alaska, Texas, Australia, anywhere but here. I just need to go. Maybe that will help, I don't know?

I need to pack. Supposed to snow tomorrow, so, I may have to spend a night or two in B'ville. I'm going to be prepared, just in case. I'd rather be at home though, but, a very sweet friend has offered to let me stay at her house if it gets too icy.

Watched the Super Bowl with Jake, Amanda, and Jakob. Good food, lots of baby snuggles and kisses, awesome night! Morgan went to watch the Super Bowl with her boyfriend.

I go back to school tomorrow. Boy, did I get spoiled, being off for four out of five days last week!! Paper work, here I come!!! Ugh....

Oh, and DITTO! :)

Jake, Amanda, and Jakob came over earlier today. They said that Jakob had said "Grammy"!! So, they brought him over to see me!!! We played in the floor like we always do, then, he started getting tired and sleepy, so they took him home to let him take a nap. Then, they came over and had supper with us later this evening. I made two different quiches, and an ooey, gooey, apple pie/tart thing. Amanda brought some Salisbury steak, potatoes, and green beans over. We had potluck!! It was all good!! I'm stuffed to the gills.

Morgan is getting sick again. She did not take her antibiotics to Raelann and Adrean's house, so, being stuck there all week, did not take those meds., so, is now feeling sick again. She took all of her heart meds., but, forgot the antibiotics. She has not been well long enough to get her flu shot!! If she ever gets over this, we HAVE to go get flu shots, asap!!!

Did not get to check my e-mail until late tonight, but, was glad to hear from an old friend.

Snow day numero cuatro!! :) Another good day. Morgan finally got to come home later this evening. I got out and helped her shovel some of the driveway, so she could pull onto it. Ugh!! That's hard work!! Definitely good exercise!

Jake went back to work today. Then, this afternoon, it started snowing again! It took him two and a half hours to get home from Tulsa. It's normally an hour from downtown, I think, from where he works to his front door. It's scary, waiting on the kids to make it home safely. But, they both made it, thank the Lord.

I feel really bad saying this because most everyone else is going stir crazy being stuck inside during the snows aftermath, but, I am thoroughly enjoying the days off!! I still LOVE my snow days!!! I haven't gotten bored once!! I still have plenty to do to keep me busy!! I can always clean and organize the house, do laundry, read, or watch a movie. I don't understand how people can get bored. There's always something to do.

Praying for a good friend who had a very serious surgery today.

God is good.

Third snow day! Another one tomorrow! I got out and shoveled off my porch, a path to Jake's house, Jake's porch, and the end of the driveway, so, he could pull up into his driveway. Someone made a couple of rounds last night and bladed the road in front of my house, which pushed up a huge pile of snow in front of the driveways. I was afraid Jake wouldn't even be able to pull up over it when he got home. He, Amanda, and the baby were able to make it home from Tulsa today. I was very worried about their drive home, but, they made it home safely. Thank you, Lord. Now, to get Morgan home! She's going to try to get home tomorrow. I think the roads will be a little bit better tomorrow, or at least I hope so. Jake said the highways were not bad, just the city streets and on/off ramps.

Amanda requested some of my homemade chicken noodle soup, so, they came over and had some for supper this evening. I got to play with Jakob for awhile! It's been a good day. Loving my snow days!!

Been alone since Monday evening. I mean ALL alone. Lots of time to think. I thought it would be hard to be alone. I was pretty upset when I found out I would be all alone, on Monday night. However, it's been very quiet, peaceful, and actually quite nice. I still miss my kids. But, turning off all of the alarms has been so nice, and I actually slept in today. Yesterday, I woke up at 4:30, but, today, I actually slept in until about 8:30 or 9:00ish.

I'm enjoying my snow days. Tomorrow is another snow day. I suspect Friday will be, as well. I needed these days off. I was ready for a breather. Thank you, Lord, for the beautiful snow.

God is good.

Another snow day!!! Yippeeee!!! Finally got to get out in it today! Went out to feed and water the dogs, took a few pictures, stayed out for just a few minutes. Brrrrr....it is cold out there!!! But, oh, so pretty!! I love it!!!

My dad is doing better today. No more seizures during the night or anything else. Maybe the additional anti-seizure meds. will help. I hope and pray they do. They will probably spend at least one more night at the hospital.

Enjoying my snow day, even though I'm all alone. Miss my kids though. Would be much more fun if they were here. Taking a few pictures of the snow as it gets deeper and deeper!! There are drifts that are as high as two or three feet high!! Snow is so high up on both my front and back doors, I can barely open them.

Getting ready to do some cleaning, organizing, and maybe a little baking. Looks like I might have a few days to get a lot of chores done! Just praying that none of us lose any power. Praying for those who are having to work outside in these conditions.

After I get my chores all done, I may just have to break out the 'ol paint brushes and do some painting, or get out the sewing machine and make some more corn pillows! I'm feeling a wee bit crafty today!!
