Oh the weather outside is Frightful

It snowed on Sunday and melted by sunday afternoon before church was even over. We were all disappointed. But on Monday morning the water froze and the roads were like a skating rink. Michael drove 5 minutes up the road, but it took him 30 minutes to get there, b/c of the icy roads. School was cancelled. Then it snowed some more! Yeah, but the temps were below freezing cold so the kids couldn't go out. It was that way all week last week.

Then on Saturday night, it started raining, but it was freezing rain. There was probably an inch on everything! Cool to look at but that is it. Trees break and take out power lines! It was awful, but not as bad as the Ice Storm we had in Lexington in 2003. By Monday morning the ice had melted thank goodness.
Michael went to work Monday morning around 6:30 am, but when he arrived the offices had no power. The generators were barely powering the lights. They couldn't get the computers to work! So they finally told them to go home around 8:30. When he went out his truck was covered in 8-9 inches of snow. We didn't get that much over here at our house, but we still got a bunch. The kids loved it! They played outside off and on all day until it started getting dark!

Michael went to work not knowing if he would be staying, but they have power today. It is going to be the only day he has to work though, b/c he has the rest of the week off.

The kids are sleeping right now, and the house is so quiet, but they'll be up in the next hour and thats when it gets totally crazy!

We'll see what happens today. I hope to get the house cleaned (AGAIN!) and organized before Christmas day, so we can have places to put our new Christmas presents.

Wish me luck!

Oh, and it's my brothers birthday today. He is 1 year and 10 days youngger than I am today (and everyday). But Happy Birthday Callis! I hope this is a wonderful year for you! That's my birthday wish for you.


Oh, and I love snow and all but I've had my feel for it for at least a month I think!
