SNOWY DAYS!!


Well Oklahoma just saw the worst snow fall ever for the month of February.  Record snow falls and probably record number of days my kids have been out of school.  If feels like it literally shut everyone down and kicked insanity into full throttle!!  I have to say it is very pretty to look at.

I stocked up on food and have cooked like crazy.  I hope nobody gets used to all this cooking and baking.  We have had some good old fashioned fried chicken and mashed potatoes, chili,  and hamburgers.  We even cooked our hamburgers outside on the grill!!  Call us crazy, but they were delicious!

I have pretty much lived in my sweats and hoodies.  Addison has lived in her PJ's.

The first four days of the snowfall, my husband had to stay camped out at the fire station.  He reported to the station on Monday and finally got to come home on Friday.  By this point cabin fever has set in for all of us.  The temperatures have been in the single digits and finally reaching above freezing by the weekend.  We have been glued to the local news channels the last several nights because you guessed it, more snow is on its way.  With a record snowfall of 15" where I live, and temps below freezing the snow has stuck around.  Snow is on the horizon for Tuesday or Wednesday.  I am hoping that I can at least make it to work on Monday and Tuesday.  Just received a phone call from the school that class is canceled again for Monday.

Hope everyone is staying warm and safe and snug in their homes.  Please remember to look in on each other and lend a helping hand when you can.  Its times like these that we all need to help each other out and check on our elderly neighbors and friends.  Hang in there everyone Spring is just around the corner and it can ALWAYS be worse!!
