March 4, 2008

It was ANOTHER snow day for me and the kids. The snow did not actually start until late morning. We ended up with somewhere around 5 inches of snow here at home. There was more on the other side of the river, where I work. I'm not sure how much they got there, but I do know that the St. Louis side of the Missouri River got more snow than we did.

At first I was a little annoyed that they called off school because by 10 a.m. there still was nothing substantial happening. Then, by 10:30 it was snowing like crazy. The kids and I had taken Stacey's cookies to her. When we went over there, the street was just wet. By the time we left, I could not tell where the street I needed to turn onto was to get home. It took us about 15 minutes to drive the two miles between Stacey's house and our house.

I did shovel the driveway today and I'm exhausted. I think I pulled a muscle in my side or something. I'm sore from my rib cage around to the middle of my back. But, it felt good to get that accomplished.

I actually did get a lot accomplished today. The kids and I went and did the grocery shopping before the snow came. We took the cookies to Stacey and I got to visit with her some. I cleaned up the rest of the stuff that needed to be put away from last night's mess. I did three loads of laundry (and still have another I'm going to have to do). And, of course there was making supper and cleaning up the kitchen. It was a good day off.

Michael took the kids sledding after we finished supper. They should be home soon. Michaela needs to take a shower before going to bed. I am going to have to put all their winter outer wear in the washing machine and make sure everything is dried before morning so they can wear their coats to school.

It's also Jericho night. I hope I can make it through tonight's episode without falling asleep. It doesn't come on until 9:00 pm, which I am happy about because it means the kids are already in bed. But, sometimes I have a hard time staying awake until 10:00 p.m. However, I do tape all the episodes so I can re-watch if I miss something due to any kind of interruption.
