Monday...another winter storm? Oh, my!

Happy Monday morning! We have just finished all of our together things for school. Brittany has been hard at work on the two papers that are required for her to graduate with our CHEO group. She is refining them and now has to hand write them out to have them ready by our March 1st deadline.

We had a wild and crazy weekend. We had so much snow that we literally had to start digging from our back door to the driveway. We have a fairly long driveway because it runs up a hill behind our home. The snow was heavy so we took turns off and on giving each other a break. I called my husband who was at the airport waiting for his flight and told him that I didn't know if I could get out of our street. He decided to rent a car to drive himself home. I listened to the local radio...there were accidents all over the roads. Cars kept getting stuck in our road. It was just a very messy day. He landed a couple of hours later and came home in his tiny rental car...I kept thinking...I bet he won't be able to get up the road. Sure enough, he couldn't...he had to park at the post office which is a block away and trudge through the snow to our house. Against my better judgment...he then decided that he would shovel the street wide enough for our car from our driveway to the corner. I have to admit...I wasn't happy about this. I was worried that he would hurt himself but he didn't, thank the Lord. Maybe it felt good for him to blow off some steam after sitting on the plane...but all in all we were finally able to get to the rental car and return it. By that time the main streets were much better and the plows finally came down our street late yesterday afternoon. The thing is...we live in the city limits...we saw rural roads that were clear...but our city streets weren't...this happens often and it is frustrating...our city rarely uses salt on our street so as the snow melts and the ice forms it can be treacherous. Ok...enough of our snowy weekend.

As I opened my eyes the morning the radio reported that another storm system is heading our way. They are saying that we can get another 6-10 inches of the stuff. I have no idea where we are going to put all of this snow. Our piles are high as it is...at least my husband is home this week...we have snow coming all the way into Friday so I am thankful that he is here...maybe this will be our last winter blast.

Outside my window the sun is shining and the sky is blue. It is a crisp 16 degrees. I have seen little of the critters that are usually frolicking all over here. I feel bad for them, my guess is they are high in their little squirrel nests snuggled in the tree tops.

This afternoon, I am going to be moral support with my mom as she has her mammogram. Last year she was called back for a second one because there was a wrinkle in the film. It looked suspicious...so we all just about had a heart attack in thinking, oh no, here we go again...but the second test came out perfect...Praise the Lord! I think she is a little nervous this year...so I'll be there to just give her what she needs.

I think I'll head out for groceries in a bit to stock up for a couple of days...Brittany has dance tonight, I imagine the next couple of days we'll be couped up so we might as well get out as we can.

Blessings to you and yours...
