Mark gets up at the crack of dawn, lets the dog out, and then goes downstairs to exercise. Eventually, he returns to our bedroom to shower and get dressed for work. I’m usually only vaguely aware of him when he gets up, and yesterday when he did, the first thing I asked was “How much [...]

Every single day

I got caught up in a quilt yesterday, and didn’t spend much time at the computer. The fact that my two helpers were here using the computer kept me away as well. I’m not sure how much snow we got, but it was a fair amount, followed by that nasty, nasty wind. School was out [...]
Crazy

In a bizarre turn of events, Suzanne will now complain about a LACK of snow. Seriously. Yesterday, we had what really did amount to a heat wave — it was 43 degrees when I went to bed last night. As a result: most of our snow is now gone. And it’s raining. Except, it’s gotten [...]
Having a Heat Wave

I was singing to the boys last night. They hate that. It’s especially obnoxious when I don’t actually know all of the words to a song. And when I’m really trying to annoy them, I sing as loud as possible and try to go slightly off-key, too. (Which is harder than you might think, if [...]
Baby it’s cold outside

You’ve probably figured out by now that I’ve tried to use song titles (or lyrics) the last little while for my post titles. After my earlier post, I realized that Dashing Thru the Snow would have been a better title for my tale of driving woes. Yesterday Mark told the boys they’d go outside to [...]
Winter Wonderland

I don’t know if it makes me feel better or worse that so much of the country is ALSO suffering through winter weather. I was scheduled to play at church this morning, so, for better or worse, I had to brave the great outdoors. ANd then I came back. See, I asked/informed Mark that I [...]
Let It Snow
Posted in Weather on December 19, 2008 |
Mark thinks our total snow accumulation was around 8 inches. There was some blowing, so it’s hard to say. It was the strangest storm. It didn’t get started here until much later than they had originally forecast, which probably means that it stalled out over some other poor souls that got snow dumped on them, [...]
I ran home to deal with lunch, and my toes haven’t warmed up yet from the excursion. The boys came home from school yesterday absolutely convinced that they would have today off. A winter storm was bearing down on us, and it looked to be a doozy. They weren’t wrong: school is closed today. Thankfully, [...]
Christmas journal, Day 2

Gee, it’s weather related. It’s much cuter in person. I actually painted the snowflake white and added glitter glue. It was kind of fun to dig out that kid of stuff. Photo was taken yesterday morning looking west. It is beautiful, isn’t it? (If I say that enough, will I start to believe it?)
If I lived in a tropical climate…

You KNOW that I’d be complaining about the heat. I’d whine and whine about how many days it was sooooo hot, and how much I hated being hot and sweaty all the time. There would probably be complaints about humidity and bugs, and I don’t know what else. Oh wait. That’s what I do in [...]
