Love the 2 day week!!!

Well, we were back at work today and then off for the weekend. How is that for a work week? Work Monday, off Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and back to work on Friday. My kind of work week. It was cold and rainy all day but we had plenty of paper work to keep us busy. Lots of children absent so it was rather quiet in that department. Paul substituted today at the high school and came home whipped. Guess all of those teenagers were good and rested up after three days off.
Paul's cousin in Connecticut wasn't impressed with our ice and snow. Little does he know that businesses close, schools close, roads close and the mailman doesn't even deliver the mail. The Texans down in our part of the country fall apart when it gets the least bit icy. The grocery was doing a booming business, however, with everyone buying comfort food and fixings for homemade soup.
I pulled a graceful stunt yesterday about lunch time. I sprained my ankle and wracked my right knee! (You know, the one with a missing ligament and arthritis) Oh dear, she fell on the ice (you are probably thinking!!) Oh no! I fell out of my home office chair. So, instead of whizzing around getting last minute things done yesterday, I limped around slowly and got nothing done. If it's not one thing it's another! Well, bye for now. I'll write again Sunday when we get back in town! Glad to hear from you other bloggers. Keep warm!

3rd Snow Day

Hi, Ya'll! This is our 3rd day off due to weather. The sun was shining this morning and it sounded like rain with all of the ice melting. It is still cold and it has become overcast again so not sure what the weather holds. I know the antelope and deer were hungry as you can tell from the photo I took through the blinds. We are getting ready to run some errands. . .the first venture out of the house since Monday. Happy end of the week.

Let it snow, Let it snow, Let it snow!

Well, here we are. Day 2 of school being out for bad weather. And what does a school employee do while they are home, you might ask? Well, create a blog, of course. This is our first blog inspired by Laura Dabney by way of Aunt Donna. We have had a great two days keeping warm by the fire, scrapbooking a present, cooking, reading, sleeping, playing games and taking pictures from the warmth of the house of the ice and snow outside. Venturing as far as the front porch has been fine with me. Paul, however, had to get out in it so he drove to the store yesterday. He and Katie also walked the dogs in the snow. They are frisky and seemed to love it. The cat has run out the door and back in. My kind of animal. I will post a few pictures so you can see our winter wonderland. Not enough for a snowman especially today since it is mostly sleet that has frozen into a sheet of ice. Not sure about school tomorrow. Hope we find out before 5 a.m. tomorrow morning. No use interrupting good sleep. To all our friends and family - keep warm, we love you!
