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!

Chris, I'm beginning to worry about your agility, but thankful you are still moving/limping as it is. We've got sunshine today and Trent was our manual 'snowblower'. Didn't stop Beth and I though. We went to The Peddler Show at the Civic Center. What a weekend to have that scheduled! It was great though---we were one of the few shoppers. Beth said she got into booths that she'd only been on the periphery in years past. Called Garrett a minute ago and he was sledding at Bishop Hills with friends. What fun if you're young! dp

We are expecting more cold and wet tonight and tomorrow. Probably not ice, though. I'm now officially ready for spring. Enough of this Yankee weather- there is a reason I live in the South!!!! Give me 105 degrees any day.... as long as I can get inside to the air conditioner!! Take care of that ankle and knee. Laura
